Learning Chinese doesn’t have to mean memorising endless vocabulary and grammar rules!

In my lessons, I like to use images, videos, music, small games, real-life situations (role play) and interesting examples to make Chinese easier to understand and remember. Instead of simply asking you to memorise a new word of sentence, I’ll show you how it actually used through natural and easy-to-understand examples. My goal is for you to understand how and when to use Chinese, rather than simply remembering the answer for a test.

I’ll adapt each lesson according to your age, level and learning goals. I can adjust the pace, lesson content and difficulty according to what you need. If you’re a beginner, we can take things slowly and focus on building confidence with basic vocabulary and everyday conversations. If you already have some Chinese knowledge, we can spend more time practicing speaking, improving sentence structure, expanding vocabulary, or working on reading and writing.

I have over two years of experience volunteering in children’s teaching activities, including working with young children aged 3-6. This experience taught me that children learn differently and that patience, clear explanations and encouragement are important. I aim to create a friendly environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes.

Whether you want to learn Chinese for school, everyday communication, travel or simply because you are interested in the language, my lesson will be practical, interactive and adapted to you. Most importantly, I want you to learn each lesson feeling that you have learned something you can actually use.
