Learn Mandarin Chinese in a fun and effective way!

From 57 £ /h

I specialise in tutoring Mandarin Chinese for people who either want to improve the language skills or are new beginners who has the interest in learning the language.
I've developed a learning method which helps the students build up the language structures in an effective way, be able to speak the language independently in a relatively short amount of time by mastering the normally boring grammar rules in a fun way.
The benefits of my course is that the students are learning the language in a relaxing learning environment in a natural way without straining.

The unique method I've developed has ensured my success and been proven to enable YOU to really LEARN a foreign language, specifically in speaking the language.

You will be GUIDED through a process of building up a language structure (by speaking, not by memorising), INTERNALISE the knowledge you've acquired, most importantly, INTEGRATE the knowledge in the speaking.

🟣 Chinese lessons: Language, Literature, Civilization, Art, Thought 🟣

🟡 My classes cover language, oral communication and writing, but also daily life, culture, customs, Chinese thought, etc.

So you can prepare to travel, study, work, live in China, or collaborate with Chinese people.

🟡 I also interest my students in
the evolution of writing, vocabulary building, Chinese art (painting and calligraphy), literature, Feng Shui, traditional medicine, etc.

🟡 I offer playful, gestural or illustrated learning, promoting exchanges in Chinese as much as possible, so as to provoke the linguistic immersion of my students.

🟡 I teach simplified Chinese (simplified characters and Pīnyīn) and traditional Chinese (traditional characters and Zhùyīnfúhào).

🟢 Classes for all levels and all ages (I have already had students from 2 to 80 years old).

🟠 GOOD ADVICE...️
Speaking a language and teaching it are two very different things, and this applies to both Chinese and French! It is not enough for your teacher to be a native Chinese speaker! Trust teachers with professional experience, especially for your first steps in learning or to correct your bad habits!

I +I+A = Immersion+ Interaction + Fun!!

The immersion. Immerse yourself in Chinese language and culture from day one! Through practical exercises, stimulating conversations and exciting cultural activities, you will quickly be immersed in an authentic Chinese environment.

The interaction. Classes are not just passive listening sessions. On the contrary, I favor constant interaction between students and myself. Role plays, debates, language challenges - everything is designed to encourage you to actively participate and develop your language skills in a dynamic way.

Fun! Learning Chinese doesn't have to be boring or monotonous. Games, fun activities, songs to make your learning as fun as it is productive.

I offer 5 types of courses:
1). Conversation lessons
Ready to speak Mandarin like a native? With my courses, you will be able to hold a fluid conversation in all everyday situations. From travel to cooking, leisure and culture, we'll explore a multitude of interesting topics while perfecting your Chinese phrasing and vocabulary.

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!
