What you will experience in my Chinese class
Facilation
I prioritize creating opportunities for meaningful conversation and interaction through questioning and leading discussions. This approach fosters a dynamic and immersive learning environment where you are empowered to take ownership of your language acquisition journey.
Authenticity
I integrate authentic, real-life materials sourced from podcasts, YT, news articles, and other mediums into my lessons. This immersion in authentic language helps learners develop a deeper understanding of vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, and cultural nuances.
Inclusive
Having experienced the challenges of learning a foreign language (German) myself, I understand the importance of creating a safe space for learners to make mistakes and learn without fear. In my Chinese classes, I welcome and encourage mistakes as valuable learning opportunities.
More about me
Let me share some of my experiences with you. Don’t worry, you are in good hands! Aside my professional life, I enjoy hiking, scuba diving and weight training. On weekends, reading or podcasting in cafe is a wonderful way to recharge and nourish my mind.
