Elena T.

Hello everyone! My name is Elena! I am an experienced Chinese tutor specializing in teaching beginners, with a strong focus on Conversational Chinese and HSK preparation. I have worked with students from diverse backgrounds who are new to the Chinese language and need clear guidance, patience, and structured support.

I understand the challenges beginners face—especially with pronunciation, tones, and sentence structure—and I tailor my lessons to make learning Chinese approachable, logical, and confidence-building from the very first class.

I have lived in China for three years and worked as a Chinese teacher at a university for six years, teaching Chinese to international students. This experience has given me a deep understanding of both the Chinese language and the challenges foreign learners face when learning it.

I have a clear understanding of how to build a solid foundation in Chinese, especially for beginners. I focus on correct pronunciation, tones, core vocabulary, and essential sentence structures, ensuring students develop strong basics from the start.

Having extensive experience teaching European students, I understand the differences between Chinese and European languages and know which teaching approaches work best. I adapt my methods to suit European learners by using clear explanations, comparisons, and practical examples that make Chinese easier to understand and remember.

I am patient, supportive, and highly focused on helping beginners succeed. My goal is to help students feel comfortable speaking Chinese, understand how the language works, and make steady progress without feeling overwhelmed.

Book your first lesson and start building a strong foundation in Chinese with confidence.
