Jennifer Rodríguez
CHINESE classes from zero to B2 (with official HSK exam preparation)
Hello! I am Jennifer, graduated in East Asian Studies from the University of Salamanca. I am certified in language teaching and currently teach private classes in MANDARIN CHINESE and KOREAN. I also provide reinforcement to EAO university students (subjects Asian History, Societies, etc.). I am passionate about working with both children and adults, and my goal is for you to be able to communicate in that language that you love so much. We'll get it together, you'll see. I adapt to you. At your pace, to your tastes and preferences: - Do you have a trip planned to Korea? We will make sure you learn survival Korean. - Have you been studying Chinese for a while but are still not able to communicate? We will focus on that with real conversations that are of YOUR interest! - Do you have two little ones at home who need language reinforcement? We will do it with a lot of patience and enthusiasm so that they learn while they enjoy! I love teaching, and I know that I will be able to transmit that same passion for languages to you during our sessions together. Just write to me (without fear!) and tell me what language and culture you want to delve into. Or tell me anything you want, because from there we are going to get material for our first class. See you!

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.
