Learn Chinese - Mary’s Mandarin Lesson

你好 nǐ hǎo,

Lessons can be casual, serious or somewhere in-between. It’s up to you.

If you have a specific goal, you can decide on your own lesson topics. Perhaps you would like to be able to order in restaurants, barter at markets, improve your business skills or just chat with friends or work colleagues. However, I’m also very happy to prepare lessons that I think will best improve your Mandarin skills.

Currently, I’m concentrating on teaching adults, but if you would like to book a lesson for a child please message me beforehand. My lessons will be based on conversational Chinese lesson, not for HSK preparation.

If you have any questions or want to find out more, please don’t hesitate to send me a message.

Thanks!

Chinese for beginners

We will first start with learning Pinyin or Zhuyin. Then we will start to learn how to introduce yourself and some daily conversations. Afterwards we will use pictures for learning the basic vocabs and verbs and you will start to build some sentences on your own.

if you looking for more serious way for learning, we can use the books for the lessons!

Conversational Chinese

For each different level of students, we will have different materials for lessons such, we will talk like friends and laughs a lot! Mainly is for you to feel comfortable to talk, I believe the more you talk the more you learn.

I will use the pictures, books or articles to be our lesson base, detailed focus on error correction and passion for successful learning

What people say?

If there was an option I would give 10 stars to Chia Yu. She is a very patient, easy-going and nice person. I really enjoy Chinese with her as she gives me loads of examples and exercises to do. She encourages you to study in a way that it makes the whole learning process easy and fun! She knows many languages so she can help you understand Chinese better if you are a total beginner like me. I will keep learning with her 😉 xiexie

Chia Yu was an amazing tutor! She really took the time to understand my needs as a student and was able to adapt the lesson to best suit my needs. She is also very friendly and made me feel comfortable and at ease in our conversations. I highly recommend her!

Chia Yus class is great, I am always looking forward to it! I am usually quite shy to speak chinese, but she makes you speak in such a friendly, relaxed way that you feel really at ease. On top of that, I always have the impression that she is very well prepared and puts in a lot of effort to teach you chinese in the best possible way. Thank you!
