Chinese language/ culture/ literature: do educated conversation in life

Please Note: currently, I am studying at Oxford University. I prefer to teach via video call, and to teach in Oxford/ London.

I am native Chinese and have lived in different European countries for many years, working for international organizations. I am naive in Chinese, fluent in English/ Spanish and have intermediate level of French. I can teach you Chinese in English or Spanish. I taught adults/ students Chinese when I was in Europe. I am very interested in languages, cultures, and arts. I play Chinese traditional music (Guzheng). So, if you are interested, I can teach you Guzheng.

Why I am offering Chinese course here?
I enjoy talking with people from different cultural background, and learning from them.

Please contact me if you want to learn Chinese/ Chinese music with me.

Yan was very patient with my boisterous boys and did a good job of keeping them on task. She instinctively recognised that they had different learning styles and offered valuable feedback on how best to teach them.

Chinese (mandarin) lessons for adults and kids of all levels
I have been giving chinese lessons for more than 10 years. Before that, I was a radio broadcaster and a journalist in China, hence I have a perfect pronunciation of the official mandarin, without any accent. It provides my students the best conditions to learn chinese, as the tone you give to words when you speak chinese as a foreigner is of great importance if you want to be understood by natives. I have a strong working experience helping students preparing their HSK exam, I also often teach diplomats, to help them acquire the necessary skills and understand properly the vocabulary specific to their job. I also love to work with kids, as I was a mandarin teacher for 2 years in an international school in Singapore. I give them a playful learning environment and use fun learning methods, so even the youngest can stay focused!

Xingying
Learn Chinese from A1 to C2, from having fun to prepare test
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.
