🌟 Chinese Language Teacher with International Certification and Three Years of Teaching Experience 🌟 Hello, dear Chinese language enthusiasts! I’m from China, born in a border city in Northern China. My hometown was home to people from various nationalities, such as Russians and Mongolians, which made me accustomed to interacting with different cultures and languages from a young age. At 12, I moved to Shanghai with my parents and later successfully completed my bachelor’s degree at Tongji University. At 24, I went to Germany to pursue my master’s degree at the Technical University of Berlin. After graduation, I worked as a research associate and project manager at the Chinese Center of TU Berlin, gaining valuable international experience. Currently, I am a doctoral candidate at the Technical University of Berlin and an online language teacher. Language and Cultural Experience In addition to Chinese, I am fluent in German (C2) and English (C1). Having spent 12 years in Northern China and 12 years in Southern China, I have gained profound insights into the cultural differences, conflicts, and integration between the two regions. Over the past 12 years in Germany, I’ve experienced and developed a deep appreciation for the cultural differences between the West and China. Furthermore, my partner is German, and we have a lively and adorable child. As a mother providing a trilingual environment (Chinese, English, and German) at home, I have developed a strong understanding of language teaching and methodologies tailored to different age groups. I firmly believe that learning a language goes beyond mastering vocabulary and grammar; it’s about understanding and merging cultures and ways of thinking. My Teaching Style In my classes, I create engaging topics and use a variety of teaching methods to ensure you learn Chinese in a relaxed and dynamic atmosphere—no boredom guaranteed! Besides language skills, I also share fascinating insights into China’s culture, history, and lifestyle, giving you a comprehensive understanding of this captivating country. Once your Chinese improves, I look forward to having meaningful discussions with you about your hobbies and your country’s culture! Multilingual Teaching In addition to teaching Chinese, I offer English and German conversational practice to help you express yourself confidently in different language environments. If you’re planning to study or live in China or Germany, I’d be happy to provide advice and assistance. Personal Interests In my free time, I enjoy playing the piano and accordion, dancing, and traveling. I’m also an animal lover and have two adorable dogs—a Border Collie named Romeo and a Beagle named Flipe. I’d love to chat about dog training and exchange experiences! Individual Learning Plans Every student has unique needs and goals, so I will have a trial lesson with you to discuss your learning objectives and create a personalized learning plan tailored specifically to you. I look forward to welcoming you to my class and embarking on an exciting and fulfilling language learning journey with you! 😊
