Asia language and culture courses: Chinese, Japanese

From 32.47 £ /h

Hej, I am Xiong! I give language courses, particularly in Chinese (mother tongue), and Japanese (JLPT Level N1).

I was born and raised up in southern China and used to be an announcer in the Radio Station at my university. I have got the Level 1-B of the Putonghua Proficiency Test, which is an official test of spoken fluency in Standard Chinese intended for native speakers of Chinese languages.

*Chinese lessons can help you set out to learn how to speak, read, and write. For this purpose, you will study the Chinese alphabet (汉语拼音 han yu pinyin), characters (汉字 han zi), vocabulary (词组 cizu), grammar (语法 yufa), as well as culture (文化 wenhua).

#Chinese calligraphy lesson is also possible. #
Doing calligraphy not only can help you to practice handwriting but also can help you to meditate and relieve tension.

I am a fan of Japanese anime and drama and have studied and lived in Japan for 8 years, I was able to enrich my linguistic knowledge as well as the culture of Japan. I have passed the Level N1 of the Japanese-Language Proficiency Test.

**Japanese lessons can help you set out to learn how to speak, read, and write. For this purpose, you will study the Japanese alphabet (ローマ字 romaji), characters (ひらがな hiragana カタカナ katakana), grammar (文法ぶんぽう bunnpou), as well as culture (文化ぶんか bunka).
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
***We can do the lesson planning together depending on your purpose. I also can adapt the courses according to the particular requirements (e.g., examination, knowledge for a business trip, etc.)

My goal is to teach the chosen language to the student without overloading you.

I am a visual artist born in Barcelona, settled in Belgium since 2017. As an artist I have accumulated experience for the last 25 years. I am graduated with an Academic Bachelor in Fine Arts in the University of Barcelona and graduated as a Master in Visual Arts at Sint Lucas School of Arts in Antwerpen.

I am specialised in painting, drawing, experimental films, installations, language, sound and curating. In other words, I am a multidisciplinary artist.

I understand the artistic practice as a way to understand ourselves and the situations which surrounds us. In my classes I don't teach how to do Art, but as how to say something through your artistic work. With me you can work independently, with a coach who will challenge you with some assignments and giving feedback to your personal concerns.

In addition, you will learn how to work with several mediums, preparing your own material: paintings, canvases, and so on.

You will not only receive individual coaching but as encourage you to look other artists or take into account other references connected with your concerns.

Finding, discussing and retaking solutions together are the core of my classes.

I have been giving chinese lessons for more than 10 years. Before that, I was a radio broadcaster and a journalist in China, hence I have a perfect pronunciation of the official mandarin, without any accent. It provides my students the best conditions to learn chinese, as the tone you give to words when you speak chinese as a foreigner is of great importance if you want to be understood by natives.

I have a strong working experience helping students preparing their HSK exam, I also often teach diplomats, to help them acquire the necessary skills and understand properly the vocabulary specific to their job.

I also love to work with kids, as I was a mandarin teacher for 2 years in an international school in Singapore. I give them a playful learning environment and use fun learning methods, so even the youngest can stay focused!

I teach digital painting with a focus on clarity, structure, and outcome. You’ll learn how to control digital brushes, build convincing lighting, use color intentionally, and create textures that add depth. We’ll move from the basics of composition to the challenges of designing characters, surreal environments, and expressive scenes.

By the end, you’ll produce portfolio-ready artworks and understand a professional workflow from sketch to finish. Each session combines hands-on exercises with discussion of artistic choices, so you strengthen both technical skill and creative judgment.

This course is for beginners and intermediate artists who want to go beyond tutorials and actually build a body of polished, original work.
