Mandarin tutor as a multi-language speaker

Private Chinese / Mandarin Tutor in Amsterdam and Online

● NATIVE in Mandarin and Minnan/Hokkien, speak English and Cantonese, graduated from University of Hong Kong
● Working full-time in MNC, Global Citizen. Love different cultures and outdoors.
Lived in China, Hong Kong, Canada - Observation in language & culture
● Why do I teach?
– Exchange cultures, increase cultural understanding.
I run this section out of interest besides my full-time job as a banker. It has been amazing so far!
In today’s world, misunderstanding is everywhere.
We talk about bullshit, we stay in our ideological bunkers, we sorted ourselves into factions. But we will not be able to connect with people who are different from us if we do not unload all of these and start to really understand people.
I am a life-long culture & language learner who wants to touch the truth of humans by breaking down the external barriers. Language is more than just a tool for communication.
Except for learning, what I can also do, is passing on the tools I have to you.
● My style - FUN, PRACTICAL, and FLEXIBLE
My tutorial is most suitable for adult or independent learners who need extra support. I offer the flexibility to customize our experience according to your needs and be your supplementary resource in your self-learning journey.
The type of tutorials I offer include but are not limited: the HSK courses, Topic Discussion, and Q & A.
Cultural awareness is something that cannot be avoided in language acquisition, and as a global citizen, that's what I can provide to my students beyond language knowledge.
If you choose to learn this language, I assume you accept or adapt to this culture at least on some levels. So try to be social, make friends with natives, and take the initiative to embrace your journey of exploring both the good & bad about it. (yes, including the bads)
In my opinion, the best way to learn a language is to use it with correct guidance.
● Experience as a tutor in HK, China, and Canada.
● Able to blend a little bit of academic Chinese (grammar, exams, literature) depends on your learning goal.

Frequently Asked Questions

How easy is it to learn Chinese / Mandarin in Amsterdam?

how easy is it to find one who use Mandarin with you in the area you live?

Is Chinese / Mandarin easy to learn?

It's easy if you use it often. Generally speaking, writing is more difficult than speaking and listening.
Learning any languages starts from input (listening, reading) before output (speaking, writing).
My advise is, focus on listening and speaking at the beginning stage, because this is the foundation before going further. And the key here is pronunciation. If you pronounce wrongly, it's unlikely you understand what you listen, and you will end up more time spent on your pronunciation correction if you keep on reinforcing your mistakes.
So in my opinion, a native speaker's guidance is extremely important at the beginning of your Mandarin learning path.
