    Chinese lessons (online or in real life) with native Chinese speaker (Madarin or Cantonese) from Hong Kong
    Chinese is a complex language but don't let that stop you from learning it. My lessons will focus on communication and pronoucniation as I believe they will give students the confidence they need to pursue learning any language. I will use pinyin as a method of teaching native pronounciation. There will be writing templates prepared to help with correct writing. I am flexible to offer any help with the language depending on the student's familiarity of the language. Unfortunately I do not speak Dutch, but I do speak fluent English so I will be able to translate from Chinese to English for better understanding.

    Learn English with a Native, Certified, and Experienced Teacher in a Natural Way - EFL and ESL
    I teach with an eclectic fashion meaning with a little bit of everything. This refers to the 4 language skills (reading, writing, listening and speaking) but also to the teaching approaches themselves. This allows us to be more flexible in the learning process. I mostly apply the information-processing approach which is a natural, communicative way to link reading and listening to speaking. During the language learning process, it is important to learn from errors and have a great sense of humor.
