Private Chinese Mandarin Tuition - Conversational & Writing

Hi there,

Allow me to introduce myself! I am Min Ling (Melissa), a Singaporean living in Aigle, Switzerland. I have a bachelor's degree in Business Marketing and English is my native language where I was born and bred. In my country, we mainly speak English or/and our mother tongue ( in my case, Mandarin) for our everyday activities. Since moving to the French-speaking part of Switzerland, I picked up French ( 4+ years ) and I am not going to lie, I am a work in progress, and I am working hard to improve it.

Chinese is a beautiful language! Whether you are hoping to learn it for travel, school, work purposes or fun, I am ready to help you with it!

As a Singaporean Chinese, I started learning Chinese at age 4 as it was mandatory for us to learn our mother tongue. I enjoyed learning the language when I was still in school because I had patient and fun teachers who made learning the language captivating. It has greatly helped me in my work and everyday life and also as I travel to Mandarin speaking countries.

Whatever your level, my goal is to help you fall in love with the language with unusual learning techniques ( not just writing and reading all the time). I believe we learn better when we are having fun. I will help you master the foundation and come up with a tailored plan for you to learn new vocabulary. I do not promise overnight results, but I can promise you that as long as you are a keen learner, you will be able to understand and participate in conversations in Mandarin in a short time!

My friends and family would describe me as humourous, easy-going and patient. I love to work with children and I believe that children like me too! ;) I have also worked with youths in my personal life back in Singapore and also as a business owner in Switzerland, I am always happy to meet new faces and to share my knowledge.
