About Me

I have studied in multiple countries, including Hong Kong, Taiwan, Belgium, Australia, and Malta, which has given me a deep appreciation for different cultures and language learning experiences. Throughout my education, I was immersed in school programs taught in English, Mandarin, Cantonese, and Dutch.

My passion for languages extends beyond the teaching —I enjoy learning new languages myself and understanding the challenges and strategies that come with it. I have also completed teacher training with a linguistics course, which allows me to understand both the theory and the practical aspects of language acquisition. Because of this, I know how it feels to learn a new language and what learners truly need. For me, language learning should be fun and engaging, and I hope my students feel the same! 😊

Gwendolyn
Chinese (mandarin) lessons for adults and kids of all levels
I have been giving chinese lessons for more than 10 years. Before that, I was a radio broadcaster and a journalist in China, hence I have a perfect pronunciation of the official mandarin, without any accent. It provides my students the best conditions to learn chinese, as the tone you give to words when you speak chinese as a foreigner is of great importance if you want to be understood by natives. I have a strong working experience helping students preparing their HSK exam, I also often teach diplomats, to help them acquire the necessary skills and understand properly the vocabulary specific to their job. I also love to work with kids, as I was a mandarin teacher for 2 years in an international school in Singapore. I give them a playful learning environment and use fun learning methods, so even the youngest can stay focused!

"Online Turkish Lessons with a Guaranteed Speaking Practice with a Turkish Teacher 🤓 / Over 6 Years of Experience 👨‍💻 / Easy Learning Met
Hello, my name is Yunus. I'm Turkish and live in Izmir. I can't wait to learn Turkish with you.🤗 I love teaching Turkish. If you want, I would like to briefly tell you how we can learn Turkish.🤓 First, in our first lesson, we determine your level together📝 and start our lessons suitable for your level. Our lessons include reading📕, writing✏️, listening🧏🏽‍♀️, and speaking🗣️. I want you to read and translate reading passages in the reading section. Here, we write down and memorize the new words and verbs we learn.🧠 Then, after listening to a text related to our topic, I want you to explain in Turkish what you understood. Of course, understanding the texts might be a bit difficult at first, but we overcome this and learn together. 💪Then, we come to the most fun part, of course, the speaking part. In this part, we talk about the texts we have read and listened to before. Of course, we try to use new words and verbs more. I love people who talk a lot in my classes. It's not a problem even if it gives me a bit of a headache🤕😁 As long as you learn🙏❤️. And finally, I give you a writing assignment related to the topic and eagerly await our next lesson. Also, you can contact me anytime outside of class.📲 I look forward to having you in my class and getting to know you and learning Turkish together. Take care.👋🏾
