Learn Mandarin Chinese in a fun and effective way!

I specialise in tutoring Mandarin Chinese for people who either want to improve the language skills or are new beginners who has the interest in learning the language.
I've developed a learning method which helps the students build up the language structures in an effective way, be able to speak the language independently in a relatively short amount of time by mastering the normally boring grammar rules in a fun way.
The benefits of my course is that the students are learning the language in a relaxing learning environment in a natural way without straining.

About Me

A language learning nerd with several years in-field experience in language teaching.

The unique method I've developed has ensured my success and been proven to enable YOU to really LEARN a foreign language, specifically in speaking the language.

You will be GUIDED through a process of building up a language structure (by speaking, not by memorising), INTERNALISE the knowledge you've acquired, most importantly, INTEGRATE the knowledge in the speaking.

You are going to be required to actively speak A LOT during the sessions, learning by practicing, yet this is all being done under a relaxed and fun learning environment.

I want you to succeed!

Tia has been a great Swedish teacher. She is very attentive, professional, patient, and engaging. After the first lesson with Tia my daughter was motivated and excited about learning the language. She is making great progress in understanding the grammar and sentence structure of the Swedish language. And she has gained the confidence she lacked in speaking the language. It’s one thing to have to learn a new language and it’s another to want to learn it. Tia’s engagement, personality and the way of teaching propels you to want to learn a new language. Would recommend it to anyone who needs to learn Swedish.
I’m learning Swedish with Tia and I like her style, she’s structure and adapt her teaching style to your needs. Always on time and very professional. She really challenges you to think about the structure to follow and the whys behind that structure, which helps me a lot.
Would you like to start learning Swedish, but find it difficult to know how or where to start? Do you find it boring and overwhelming to learn grammar rules and they just can’t seem to stick to your brain? Do you feel it’s challenging and you’re lacking the confidence to open your mouth to speak? Have you tried to speak, but are frustrated and demotivated that others don’t seem to understand what you are saying? Or you have a basic language foundation, but seem to get stuck in a midway and need a breakthrough? My name is Tia and I specialise in helping you set up a solid foundation of your Swedish learning journey; helping you establish a positive connection with the language right from the get-go. The method and the techniques that I’m about to show you in this course will help you shorten your learning curve, help you save a massive amount of time from wandering in the desert yourself like I did, I don’t want you to spend years walking on the same path, because now you can turn those years into days. It also helps you overcome all the above-mentioned pitfalls of learning a new language; It effectively helps you build up a solid language structure by you mastering the normally boring grammar rules in a fun way; it boosts your motivation of your continuous learning journey; it supports you to build up your confidence to speak the language in a short amount of time by applying the method in the lessons and independently outside the class. The extra benefits of my course is that you are learning the language in a relaxed environment without straining. It all happens naturally and you’ll be surprised and delighted that you’ve had the inner language talent already and now you allow it to come out to show its magic!

Xingying
Learn Chinese from A1 to C2, from having fun to prepare test
I run private lessons, where all levels are welcome. But if you’re a total beginner then I offer basic classes to help you find the way to get into it. I develop diverse methods of teaching for the students. For the around 5-8 years old kids, I would like to set certain games to play with them, thereby the kids can learn the new language during the interaction and communication. In this way, different media, like color pictures, puppets, or storybooks are essential to make the course very attractive. For the teenager or advanced students, a structuralized teaching content based on scenarios or textbook could help the students to develop their language capacity efficiently in different aspects – listening, reading, speaking, and writing. Besides, I would like to give a deeper perspective for the Chinese- not only learning the language from the textbooks, but also the knowledge of the language, the culture, and the literature. Also, based on your need and situation, we choose different textbooks and make a personal teaching plan for you.

Practice your Mandarine/ Cantonese Speaking with a Native Speaker
What better way to learn a language than communicating with a native speaker in real-time? Duolingo can only teach you so much, but from personal experience, the most important aspect of learning a new language is to be fully immersed in its culture to understand the intricacies of that language. I am completely fluent in Cantonese, Mandarin, and English, which gives me the advantage of explaining how you can improve effectively in the language you understand.
