Jen Z.

Hi, I am Jen (Jie), from Shanghai, China, and currently live in Finland. An empathetic and patient Chinese teacher.

🌟 Trilingual & Multicultural: Mandarin, English, Finnish. With years of study and life experience across Europe, I deeply understand the challenges and joys of adapting to new languages and cultures.

🌟 Professional & Practical: Hold 2 degrees in Business Administration and Healthcare, plus 8+ years of business trading work experience in foreign companies. I can tailor lessons to your practical needs, whether for daily life, HSK, travel or business.

🌟 My Teaching Philosophy: Build Like a Jigsaw, Grow Like Fitness. My approach is inspired by my hobbies. Starting from the basics and persevering, we’ll construct your Chinese ability—step by step, with clarity and confidence.

What you can expect from my classes:

⭐Personalized Learning: I will use the trial lesson to better understand your Chinese foundation, needs, and goals, and then tailor your formal course plan accordingly.

⭐ Student-led Classes: In my class, I create numerous opportunities to guide you in speaking and practicing. I'll use plenty of images, Chinese memes, and short videos to help you easily grasp grammar, engage with real-life contexts, and even discover the vibrant language found on Chinese social platforms in my classes.

⭐ Empathy as a Language Learner: A multilingual myself, especially having acquired Finnish language skills after adulthood, I understand the challenges of acquiring a new language. I provide not just instruction, but strategic support to help you overcome obstacles and stay motivated.

⭐ Bilingual Support Available: Full English support is provided for beginners to ensure a smooth transition to immersive Chinese.

✅I offer a variety of Chinese language courses:

HSK, daily Chinese, spoken Chinese, business Chinese, and travel Chinese.

The journey of learning Chinese is not just about mastering the language—it's about forging a deep connection with its culture. My cross-cultural background enables me to help you “decode” the cultural meanings behind the words, transforming your learning into a truly enriching exploration. Welcome to book a trial lesson!
