Mandarin Chinese/ Japanese Lesson (From Beginner, Intermediate to Advanced level)

From 32 £ /h

This is a place where we exchange languages. Please feel free to make mistakes while learning! If you’re looking for someone to chat in Mandarin/ Japanese, you're at the right place! We can even sing and play some easy games. My aim is for you to enjoy the language, not just studying with textbooks or dictionaries. Of course, if you prefer to do it in more of a serious way, which involves a lot of listening, speaking, reading and writing, that’s also fine.

Extra information

Please bring a pen and a notebook for taking notes. (Don’t forget to bring your joyful heart!)

Please Note: currently, I am studying at Oxford University. I prefer to teach via video call, and to teach in Oxford/ London.

I am native Chinese and have lived in different European countries for many years, working for international organizations. I am naive in Chinese, fluent in English/ Spanish and have intermediate level of French. I can teach you Chinese in English or Spanish. I taught adults/ students Chinese when I was in Europe. I am very interested in languages, cultures, and arts. I play Chinese traditional music (Guzheng). So, if you are interested, I can teach you Guzheng.

Why I am offering Chinese course here?
I enjoy talking with people from different cultural background, and learning from them.

Please contact me if you want to learn Chinese/ Chinese music with me.

Hey there, I’m Amy, a Chinese teacher with experience teaching Mandarin. I was born and raised in Beijing. My accent is very clear and easy to understand. With the growth of teaching time, I found this work attracts me more and more. In my opinion, language learning is a venture full of fun and of course, sometimes with difficulties. But all your efforts are worthy. I have helped over 100 students whether to get their dream jobs or the big promotion or just to improving their Chinese for their trip.

I will plan your own personal lesson plan. Including daily conversations, business language, job interviews, preparation for exams. My method is conversational and based on real life so you can relate the language to your life and use your own examples.
I can’t wait to share you how beautiful my language is! See you in my class.

Aside from teaching, I like to watch movies and traveling.I have been to UK, Germany, Poland, Malaysia, Indonesia, Russia and so on.

大家好!我是Amy,一名经验丰富的中文老师。我在北京长大,口音清晰易懂。我很喜欢教学工作,在我看来,学习语言非常有趣。虽然有时候会遇到困难,但是都是值得的。我帮助过上百名学生找工作,升职,或者旅行。
关于学习方面,我会帮助你制定学习计划,学习日常用语,商务用语,帮助你通过面试,中文考试等。我的学习素材贴近生活,你可以举一反三。
我已经迫不及待跟你分享我的母语了,课堂上见!
除了教学之外,我喜欢看电影,旅行。我去过英国,德国,波兰,马来西亚,印度尼西亚,俄罗斯等,喜欢交来自不同国家的朋友。

I’m originally from Japan and now based in London. When I trained to become a Japanese teacher, my instructor encouraged us not to use English, even if we were able to. However, from my own experience, I believe using English can be helpful—especially for beginners or when clarification is needed.

I’m flexible and happy to tailor lessons to your goals. Whether you want to brush up your Japanese before visiting Japan, already know Hiragana and Katakana and want to progress further, or are interested in Japanese culture—such as Manga, Anime, or Music—through conversation with a native speaker, I can support learners at any level and focus on your specific needs.
