33 £ /h

When I was young, I always believed math was too challenging for me—until a new teacher joined our class. That experience taught me how crucial teaching methods are for students. Learning becomes much easier once you discover an approach that resonates with you.

In my own classroom, I strive to provide meaningful feedback and help students build a productive and enjoyable learning structure. My goal is to make the process as fun and effortless as possible, keeping them motivated and focused at all times.

Speak Vietnamese Fluently in Just 2 Months!

Hi! I'm Thương, a Vietnamese teacher from Hanoi – the heart of Vietnam's culture.

I'm a patient, cheerful, friendly tutor who is passionate about helping international learners speak Vietnamese naturally and confidently.

In my lessons, I use real-life stories and everyday conversations to help you not only improve your Vietnamese, but also understand the culture behind the language. Whether you're focusing on grammar or communication, I will always tailor the lessons to what you need most — so that you can see fast and meaningful progress.

Whether you are:
✅ A complete beginner starting your Vietnamese journey
✅ Planning a trip to Vietnam and want to speak like a local
✅ Working or doing business in Vietnam and seeking deeper connections
✅ Moving to Vietnam to live with your loved ones
✅ Or simply fascinated by the Vietnamese language and culture
— I have a personalized roadmap just for you.

I’ve worked with students from Japan, South Korea, the U.S., Germany, China, and more – helping them not only master the Vietnamese language but also deeply understand the culture and people of Vietnam.

I teach in the Northern Vietnamese accent (Hanoi dialect). I also speak English (TOEIC 800+) and Japanese (JLPT N2), which allows me to explain difficult concepts in an easy and understandable way.

Outside of teaching, I love traveling, exploring, and taking international friends to discover local food, cultural sites, and hidden gems around Hanoi.

I hold a professional certificate in Teaching Vietnamese as a Foreign Language. With over 5 years of experience, I have taught students of all levels – from absolute beginners to advanced learners aiming to use Vietnamese for work and daily life.

What I offer:
Vietnamese for everyday communication
Vietnamese for travelers
Vietnamese for work and business
Correct pronunciation with the Northern accent
Vietnamese culture, customs, and norms

Focused skills practice: speaking, listening, reading, writing

I also hold an International Tour Guide License, so if you're planning to visit Vietnam, I can guide you on amazing journeys across the country – from North to South.

And when you’re in Hanoi, we can even study together offline at some chill cafés or beautiful cultural spots in the city – learning in the most fun and authentic way possible!

Do you find Vietnamese tones hard to remember?
Is the grammar too flexible and confusing?
Maybe you’ve studied for a while, but still can’t speak naturally?
Or you feel like Vietnamese is dry and difficult to enjoy?
You might have thought: “Why is Vietnamese so hard...?”

You’ve been there, right?

👉 I totally understand – many of my students have felt the same way at first.
But don’t worry! With the right approach, Vietnamese can actually be fun, clear, and full of life. 🌱I’ll help you learn with simple, practical, and interactive lessons that match your pace and interests.

Whether you want to speak confidently while traveling, understand your Vietnamese partner better, or simply explore this beautiful language and culture — I’m here to guide you.

Together, we’ll turn confusion into clarity, and fear into confidence. 💪

Let’s make Vietnamese learning an enjoyable journey you’ll love!

👉 Don’t wait any longer – apply now and let’s start your Vietnamese journey together!

Good day, my name is Mike. I come from Shanghai, China. I'm now studying at Shanghai University.
Chinese is the language of the east, connecting people from many nations.

Does Chinese scare you? The tones, the characters, such a different grammar... You might not know where to start.
Good news: With the right method, it's much less intimidating than it seems! So don't hesitate to contact me!

Before you go any further, let me introduce myself.
I come from Shanghai, China. I got 138(A+) out of 150 in English GaoKao.
I have no problem in English communication at all, and thus I ranked top 0.1% in the English contest for senior high school students in Shanghai, surpassing more than 15 contestants from the Top 4 elite high schools, which includes Shanghai High School. Surprised? That's true.
I have been teaching Chinese down-to-earth in offline training institutions for over 3 years as a professional teacher.
Besides, the HSK exam might be helpful to you(e.g. for overseas students in China/for foreigners working in China).
An organized, systematic course for HSK prep is also free to go!

I offer grammar lessons, conversation practice and/or exam preparation through dynamic and practical classes.
Moreover, if you wish to have a firm grip on this language, thinking in Chinese rather than just reciting the grammar rules is quite crucial.
Anyway, if you're looking for a friendly, patient and dedicated teacher, I'd be delighted to help you achieve your goals!

My methodology is as follows(may not all be included, as your needs go first):
1. I can show the examples of certain pronunciations/tones to you and you can read after me if you want.
2. I can provide you with vivid conversations and fulfill your curiosity by Q&A interactions.
3. I can present you the past papers of HSK and analyze them if you wish.
4. Instead of giving you homework, I hope that you can search more interesting videos and passages from the web, based on your own preference.

My approach combines teaching and mentoring, and I take a holistic approach to ensure improvements in all aspects of a student's development, so no worries at all!

It's okay and normal that my students come from all walks of life. As long as you are willing to learn, there is a way.
I believe that interest is the best teacher, so I'll try my best to prepare before classes and make them effective to students.

Through my own experiences of overcoming obstacles and achieving success, I’m passionate about helping others do the same. Let’s work together to ensure you reach your full potential, both academically and personally!

### Learn Chinese with a Qualified Professional Teacher — From Zero to Advanced

Learning Chinese is often considered a great challenge — but that doesn’t mean it has to be painful or frustrating.

I am a **professional Chinese language teacher with a Master’s degree in Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language, a qualification in Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language, and more than 10 years of teaching experience**.

Unlike a teacher who simply speaks Chinese as a native language, I have professional training and formal qualifications in Chinese language education, as well as extensive experience teaching learners from different linguistic and cultural backgrounds. I know not only Chinese itself, but also **how to teach it effectively**.

I offer Chinese lessons for **all levels, from complete beginners to advanced learners**, including:

* Beginner and intermediate Chinese
* Advanced Chinese
* Conversational Chinese
* Business Chinese
* Chinese literature and culture
* Customized lessons based on your goals and interests

My teaching philosophy is simple: **knowing a lot of Chinese does not necessarily mean being able to use it.**

I don’t want my students to leave a lesson with a long list of vocabulary and grammar rules but still struggle to say what they actually want to say. Instead, I focus on helping you **use Chinese actively** — speaking, expressing your ideas, asking questions, responding naturally, and gradually turning what you learn into real communication skills.

At the same time, I believe that difficult things can be made simple. Chinese grammar can seem complicated at first, but with the right explanation and meaningful practice, it becomes much more manageable. I enjoy breaking down difficult grammar and language points into **clear, simple, and easy-to-understand explanations**.

My classes are relaxed, interactive, and adapted to each student's needs. Whether you are starting Chinese from scratch, preparing for work in a Chinese-speaking environment, studying for a specific goal, or simply want to become more confident speaking Chinese, I will help you build practical skills step by step.

**Let’s make Chinese a language you can actually use — not just a language you study.**

I offer personalized Mandarin Chinese lessons designed around your level, goals, and interests. Whether you are a complete beginner or an advanced learner, we can work on speaking, pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, reading, writing, and Chinese characters through practical and engaging lessons.

With a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Teaching Chinese as a Second Language from NTNU in Taiwan, I adapt each class to the way you learn best. My goal is to help you understand how Mandarin really works and become confident using it in real-life situations.

Do you want to learn Chinese for travel, to work with China, to prepare for a professional project, or simply to communicate better in everyday life?

I offer Mandarin Chinese lessons fully adapted to your level, your objectives and your pace. We can work on conversation, pronunciation and tones, vocabulary, grammar, listening and reading comprehension, but also concrete situations: travel, daily life, professional exchanges or intercultural context.

I place great importance on oral expression and the real-world use of the language. For beginners, we build a solid foundation from the outset; for intermediate or advanced students, lessons can focus on fluency, vocabulary enrichment, and topics tailored to your interests or professional activity.

Each lesson is tailored to your needs: it's not simply a matter of following a manual page by page. We define your objectives together, and I then adapt the materials and activities to help you progress concretely and consistently.

As a native Chinese speaker with training in translation and natural language processing, I have been teaching for several years to students with very diverse profiles and objectives.

Learn practical, real-life Mandarin in a relaxed and supportive environment!

My lessons are personalised to your level, interests and goals. Whether you are a complete beginner, learning Mandarin for travel or work, or simply want to become more confident in conversation, I will adapt each lesson to suit you.

My classes can focus on:
• Everyday Mandarin conversation
• Speaking and pronunciation
• Listening and comprehension
• Useful vocabulary and expressions
• Mandarin for complete beginners
• Chinese language and culture

I use presentations, interactive activities and conversation practice to make lessons clear, practical and enjoyable. Rather than simply memorising vocabulary and grammar, I want to help you understand how Mandarin is actually used in real-life situations.

Lessons are available for children, teenagers and adults, from complete beginners to learners who want to improve their speaking skills.

As someone who started learning Mandarin at the age of 6 and speaks Mandarin, Korean and English, I also understand the challenges of learning another language and can explain things step by step in a simple and supportive way.

My goal is to help you feel comfortable speaking Mandarin and enjoy the learning process!

Want to learn Chinese for a specific goal instead of following a one-size-fits-all textbook?
Whether you're traveling to China, moving here for work, preparing for a Chinese interview or exam, or simply want to feel more confident speaking Chinese in everyday life, I can create lessons around what you actually need.
Before our lesson, just tell me your goals, current level, and the situations you want to prepare for. I'll tailor the lesson content, vocabulary, conversations, and practice to help you use Chinese with more confidence in real situations.
I majored in English at a foreign languages university and communicate fluently in English, so don't worry if you're a complete beginner! I've also traveled extensively across Africa, South Asia, Europe, and Southeast Asia, and I genuinely enjoy meeting and communicating with people from different cultures.
I'm friendly, patient, and easy to talk to. My goal is to make Chinese feel practical, approachable, and relevant to your life.
Tell me what you want to use Chinese for, and we'll build your lesson from there. 😊
