About Me
I have been working as an artistic researcher and language teacher in Amsterdam for five years now. I am involved in artistic projects supported by prestigious funding and have presented my own artistic research at multiple international conferences. In my spare time I like to share Chinese culture with interesting and smart people. It is always rewarding to see people learning a completely other-worldly language with fantastic results. Language learning is absolutely more than a hobby and I look forward to embarking on this journey with you!I love philosophy, literature and art but I am also very into dancing as a sort of sport and often go on impulsive walks around the cities.
I hope we can open up and nourish each other's life even more through battling Chinese together!

My son loved her lesson and was very enthusiastic and happy afterwards! Great teacher!
Zhou Fang is a great Chinese teachter. I asked her for online Mandarin Chinese lessons for my upcoming trip to Taiwan.
I feel she really understood the request, and after 2 lessons I already notice improvement of my vocabulary and confidence to speak chinese. I can highly recommend Zou Fang.
...
This lesson is the advanced version of my other tutoring offer. For enthusiastic learners that are willing to go a step further to be bombarded by the Chinese culture. I will provide more fun and engaging materials collected or designed by myself over the years, which can be desirable for those interested. They range from videos, blogposts, games, poems to virtual tours. Hope to see you soon!

Yu
Click the Chinese language and Asian culture on/off-line with the help of an articulate and humorous native!Hey,
I am Yu. Nice to meet you.
This lesson can help you set out to learn how to speak Hanyu, read, and write Zhongwen. For this purpose, you will study the Chinese alphabet (Hanyu Pinyin), characters(Hanzi), vocabulary, grammar, sentence structure, and common words and phrases. If you want to learn the Chinese language, you've found the right class!
Course materials can be:
-Standard Course HSK (for language ability test)
-Experiencing Chinese (for immersive classes)
-Learn Chinese with me (for schoolchildren and teenagers)
-AP Chinese
-.......
-any tailor-made materials that interest you
This course is designed in three versions for different kinds of participants:
1) A Beginner!
- Have little or no prior knowledge of the Chinese language;
- Want to learn how to make yourself understood in Chinese when traveling, for example, understanding and speaking common everyday words (and sentences) in different typical scenarios ;
- Hope to express 1-10 and some larger numbers in China in speech or by gesture decently.
*Some examples at this stage:
- Hello! Thank you. How are you?
- Sorry. / You're welcome!
- I can speak Chinese! What's your name?
- What's the date today? What's the time now?
- I'd like a cup of coffee. Is this seat free?
- (and other current Chinese usages in any scenarios you're interested in! )
**Naturally, pronunciation and the four vowel tones are an important part of the lessons, but participants also learn the principles of Chinese writing and gain an understanding of Chinese culture!
2) An Intermediate Learner
- Have upper-intermediate knowledge of Chinese;
- Need to increasingly enhance our active language skills, to expand your vocabulary, practice reading without Pinyin, and master more advanced grammar and fixed structures to be able to make longer sentences;
- Interest yourself in being able to express your views on common everyday topics, like foods, drinks, gifts, weather, Chinese habits, and common practice.
3) An Advanced Learner
- Can speak and understand Chinese reasonably well;
- Attempt to deepen your understanding of Chinese culture and learn more advanced grammatical constructs to communicate more specific and complex ideas in Chinese, both verbally and in writing;
- Focus on topics dealt with leisure and hobbies, hospitality, culture, arts, poetry, history, dynasties and civilization, of modern and ancient China.
***I have lived in China for over twenty years, traveled to many cites (including Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Nanjing, Hongkong, Macau, and so on), and have been educated at respected schools and universities.
Currently, I am studying Social Sciences in the Netherlands and I am a fan of Chinese literature/Japanese anime/Marvel films, so it's also welcome that you would like to have an informative and interesting talk in Chinese about these topics.
+China captures the imagination with its fascinating contrasts. A modern-day global economic entity that proudly upholds ancient traditions. Definitely, a good way to start learning more about China is by taking Chinese!

I have experience in both kindergarten and home education. I have also given Russian classes to adults and I can prepare all the necessary materials for you based on your level, but you can also provide your own materials.
