Mandarin Chinese is one of the most influential languages nowadays, and learning how to use Chinese like a native speaker will enable you to work with Chinese speakers, make international friends, and broaden your horizons. However, with its complexity, many people give up on learning Chinese easily. My job is to strengthen your Chinese learning skills and make sure you are accompanied on this long journey.

In this personalized class, you can choose to learn writing, speaking, listening, and reading. You can even choose if you want to learn simplified, traditional characters, or only pinyin. With a certified teacher who once taught at National Taiwan University, you will be learning with efficiency and accuracy.

Want to learn Mandarin Chinese in a fun, relaxed, and practical way? Let’s make it happen!

Hi! I’m a native Mandarin Chinese speaker from China, currently living in Barcelona. I completed my Bachelor’s degree at the University of Nottingham in the UK and my Master’s degree in International Affairs at Ramon Llull University in Spain.

My Teaching Approach

My lessons are flexible, interactive, and tailored to your individual goals and interests.

Whether you’re a complete beginner or already speak some Mandarin, we’ll work at your own pace and focus on what matters most to you.

I speak fluent English, so I can explain Chinese vocabulary, pronunciation, and grammar clearly in English whenever needed.

I especially enjoy working with adult learners and students who want to use Mandarin in real-life situations rather than simply memorizing textbooks.

Who Are My Lessons For?

• Complete beginners curious about Mandarin Chinese

• Adults looking to improve their conversational skills

• Anyone interested in Chinese language and culture!

Do you feel like Chinese is an insurmountable challenge? Many students get stuck on tones or grammar that seems to make no sense. My goal is for you to stop "studying" Chinese and start communicating in it.

I'm Anqi, a native Mandarin Chinese teacher with a degree in Audiovisual Journalism (Radio and Television) from China. My pronunciation is rated at level 1-B on the official Chinese Putonghua exam, one of the highest levels.

Before teaching, I worked for 12 years in communications: 10 as a journalist and 2 in corporate communications for a multinational company. I've been teaching Chinese in Spain for over 3 years to children, adults, and business employees. I know exactly where Spanish speakers struggle and have developed a method to eliminate intonation issues. I also teach you how Chinese people think, speak, and negotiate in real life.

My students highlight my patience and how clearly I explain the logic of the language (5 out of 5 star ratings on another platform).

What I offer:
• Chinese from scratch and for all levels
• Preparation of HSK and YCT
• Business Chinese and training for companies
• Classes for children and teenagers

Online classes from anywhere in Spain and face-to-face classes in Asturias (Avilés, Gijón, Oviedo and surrounding areas).

The first class is to determine your level and your goals.
