Is your child struggling with French at school? Does she/he have difficulties with grammar, spelling, or reading comprehension? I would be delighted to help. We will work together on her/his lessons, review the theory, and address his/her specific challenges through practice exercises.

Is the CEB or CE1D exam approaching, and you want your child to be as prepared as possible for success? I offer structured and effective support to help her/him prepare for the CEB or CE1D exams in French under optimal conditions. I will provide personalized preparation lessons tailored to your child's needs and level. We can review grammar and spelling together, practice reading comprehension exercises, develop writing skills, and, of course, practice with sample CEB or CE1D questions. I can also help her/him better understand the expectations and instructions, as well as provide guidance on exam methodology. My goal is also to boost her/his confidence, solidify the foundation, and support her/him not only with the theory but also with the personal aspects, allowing her/him to progress.

Lessons will be online, either via Google Meet or Teams. If you wish, we can also create a virtual classroom containing all the completed and upcoming exercises.

Feel free to contact me for more information!

To learn more about me: I'm an experienced teacher. I worked for several years with various non-profit organizations in Brussels (Schola ULB, Youth Club, CIFA, ABEF) with teenagers who were experiencing language difficulties at school. I am still involved in teaching, but I am currently working with private language schools, primarily with adults.

Why learn Chinese with a non-native (but professional) speaker? Having learned Chinese as a non-native speaker myself, I understand the difficulties and challenges involved, and I can explain the whys and wherefores without ever having to confront you with a "well, I don't know, it's said this way"...
With extensive experience in private tutoring and a master's degree in English-Chinese translation, I spent seven months in Taiwan and currently live in mainland China (Wuhan), where I am pursuing doctoral studies in Chinese, focusing on learning Chinese in a fun and engaging way. Thanks to my parents' passion for Chinese (my mother is a professional translator and Chinese teacher), I had the opportunity to explore China several times from a very young age, and, at the same time, to refine my language skills each year. I can therefore also help you improve your accent and intonation. My Chinese is equivalent to an HSK6 level.
Thanks to ULB, I was able to offer Chinese lessons to several first-year students who were struggling to keep up. They started from practically zero and ended up gaining much more confidence in the language and demonstrating very positive results (including passing their exams). This is how I discovered my passion for teaching Chinese. I then continued on other platforms with different students, each of whom gained more and more confidence in the language day after day.

This lesson is the advanced version of my other tutoring offer. For enthusiastic learners that are willing to go a step further to be bombarded by the Chinese culture.

▸ Who I Work With?

This course is designed for forward-thinking parents who want more than just language drills for their children. It's ideal for:

- Teens and young learners (10-18 years old) who are curious about Chinese language and culture — from complete beginners to those with some basic foundation

- Teens (13-18 years old) who already have some basic Chinese foundation and are ready to go beyond the textbook
Curious young minds who are interested in design, technology, business, or world cultures

- Families planning for the future — parents who believe that understanding China will give their children a global advantage

- Self-motivated learners who want to explore Chinese culture, modern trends, and creative thinking, not just memorize vocabulary

If your child needs a strict, traditional tutor for exam preparation only, I might not be the right fit. But if you want them to be inspired, to think differently, and to see Chinese as a window to a bigger world — let's talk.

──────────────────

▸What You Can Expect?

Every lesson is built around sparking curiosity and building real-world skills:

- Cultural Storytelling — Instead of boring dialogues, I use stories from my work as a designer and filmmaker to bring Chinese culture to life. Your child will explore Chinese art, history, internet culture, and modern trends.

- Project-Based Learning — We'll work on mini-projects that match your child's interests. Whether it's designing a Chinese social media post, creating a short video script, or exploring a Chinese city through research, they'll learn by doing.

- Critical Thinking in Chinese — I encourage students to ask questions, share opinions, and make connections between Chinese culture and their own world. This isn't about repeating after me — it's about thinking in Chinese.

- Flexible & Pressure-Free — No harsh drills, no rote memorization. I create a relaxed, encouraging space where your child feels safe to make mistakes and grow.

- HSK/YCT Preparation Support — For students interested in Chinese proficiency tests, I weave HSK/YCT content into our cultural exploration, building exam confidence alongside genuine curiosity.

──────────────────

▸Teaching Style

As someone who's worked in creative industries for years, I know that the best learning happens when you're genuinely interested. My teaching style is patient, encouraging, and conversational.

I don't talk down to young learners — I talk with them. I listen to their ideas, ask questions that make them think, and help them discover their own voice in Chinese. Parents often tell me that their children look forward to my lessons not because they "have to", but because they're genuinely curious about what we'll explore next.

Have a conversation like friends. Ask any question that interests you. Language learn is about constant exposure and comprehensible input. If you need help with exam preparation, that's perfectly fine. But I would suggest talking to a native speaker about topics that truly interest you. In that process, you pick up subtle cultural cues, and learns authentic expressions which are rare to find in textbooks.

Have a conversation like friends. Ask any question that interests you. Language learn is about constant exposure and comprehensible input. If you need help with exam preparation, that's perfectly fine. But I would suggest talking to a native speaker about topics that truly interest you. In that process, you pick up subtle cultural cues, and learns authentic expressions which are rare to find in textbooks.
