Chinese Speaking and HSK Exam Tutoring for Practical Communication and Confident Progress

From 41.09 £ /h

I teach Mandarin Chinese with a focus on practical speaking skills and structured preparation for HSK exams. My aim is to help students communicate confidently while building a solid understanding of vocabulary, grammar, and real-life language use. Each lesson includes targeted practice, and I offer optional homework and feedback so you can see steady, measurable progress.

This class is for learners who want to use Mandarin in everyday situations, for school or work, or to prepare for HSK certification. You will practice speaking through conversations, role-plays, and real-world scenarios, and you will learn clear strategies if you are working toward an HSK level. I also introduce relevant cultural context to make the language easier to understand and remember. Lessons are tailored to your level, whether you are a beginner or already have some experience.

I currently teach Mandarin to Dutch teenagers every weekend, which keeps me closely connected to how learners develop confidence, stay engaged, and make steady progress. No matter your age or background, I will support you with clear explanations, structured guidance, and a learning approach that fits your pace and goals.

I run private lessons, where all levels are welcome. But if you’re a total beginner then I offer basic classes to help you find the way to get into it.

I develop diverse methods of teaching for the students. For the around 5-8 years old kids, I would like to set certain games to play with them, thereby the kids can learn the new language during the interaction and communication. In this way, different media, like color pictures, puppets, or storybooks are essential to make the course very attractive. For the teenager or advanced students, a structuralized teaching content based on scenarios or textbook could help the students to develop their language capacity efficiently in different aspects – listening, reading, speaking, and writing. Besides, I would like to give a deeper perspective for the Chinese- not only learning the language from the textbooks, but also the knowledge of the language, the culture, and the literature.

Also, based on your need and situation, we choose different textbooks and make a personal teaching plan for you.

Learn Chinese Mandarin with a highly experienced university lecturer from Beijing. I have just moved to the south of France from London, where I had been teaching for many years International Business and Chinese as part of a degree course at a university in London. I also give private tutorial to professional learners as well as students from SOAS, UCL and Cambridge, helping them achieve excellent results in their HSK exams and their academic exams.
I can also tailor the course according to your professional interests.

Having studied Turkish at SOAS and International Business in China, I am cultural conscious and open minded. I can provide you good insight into the Chinese culture, economics as well as the historical backgrounds to certain events.

My teaching approach is communicative and student centred, constantly adjusting teaching strategies to meet your specific learning goals, whether it is conversation, grammar or Chinese characters. Many of my students who were stuck on intermediate level were able to move up to the advanced level with my tutoring.

I am also particularly good at explaining complicated grammar points which can be frustrating if one wants to progress beyond the just survival level.

It is my strong belief that building a solid foundation in the pronunciations and tones helps boost students' confidence. With my practical approach, many students find they can start communicating and making logical sentences within one or two lessons.

Help with the Classical Chinese studies can also be provided, the Classical Chinese has different grammar to modern Chinese, I can also proofread your dissertation and coursework.

Translation and interpretation services are also offered.

Individual and group inquiries are both welcome. References from the current and previous clients can be provided on requests.

Intelligent, dynamic tuition with flexible timetable and reasonable rate.

Fluent in English and B2-level German, I am passionate about helping speakers of both languages master Chinese through authentic connection. My approach skips the rigid, standardized textbooks; instead, we focus on practical dialogues and real-life conversations tailored to your interests.

Having traveled to countries like Singapore, Portugal, the UK, Germany, Czechia, and Italy, I bring a global perspective to my lessons. I love weaving my international experiences and personal stories into our sessions, making each lesson not just a language class, but a cultural exchange. Let’s learn Chinese through the lens of the real world!

Hi! I’m a native Chinese speaker with a degree in English, and I’ve been learning languages for many years through both professional training and real-life, everyday use. Because of this, I understand what language learners find difficult — and how to make the process clearer, easier, and more enjoyable.

My lessons focus on practical Chinese, confidence-building, and learning in a relaxed way. Whether you want to improve speaking, pronunciation, listening, or understand how Chinese is actually used in daily life, I’ll guide you step by step.

Tell me your purpose for learning Chinese — travel, work, exams, daily conversation, or personal interest — and we’ll customise the lessons to match your goals, pace, and learning style.

Let’s make Chinese learning simple and fun 😊

If you need help to improve your math, physics or Chinese, no matter for daily life or for your academic study from primary school to bachelor, I would be more than happy to help. After years of private teaching during my two master's studies, I learnt how to deliver the information in a light and memorable way. In my class, of course we will go through the theories and practices together, but more importantly, you will exercise on the way of thinking and have a newer view on the subjects, which is even more important than the knowledge in a long way. The class won't be exhausting as your extra chance of learning, but will make you naturally try to understand and remember.
