My journey with the Chinese language began in 2017 and continues to this day. Five years of life in China and a degree from a Chinese university gave me rich experience of learning the language as a foreigner and using it in a real environment. Because of this, I deeply understand the difficulties students may face. Life in China allows me not only to teach core language skills, but also to share cultural nuances that help you truly feel the language. I love what I do, and I will help you fall in love with Chinese too. Together we will overcome language barriers and start speaking Chinese from the very first lessons.

"I’ve been studying for about six months, and the progress I’ve made in this time is very noticeable. I work in a Chinese company, so the language is necessary for communicating with colleagues and management. For me, it’s both a necessity and a hobby. The most memorable moment was when I managed to write a text in Chinese on my own — I was amazed that such a difficult task was actually possible. I like the comfortable and friendly atmosphere in the lessons, the visible results, and the fact that the learning process is tailored to me."

"I’m learning Chinese because I’m planning to go to China. My main motivation is my genuine interest in the language. The lessons are interesting, effective, and useful. What I remember most was when we worked through dialogues. I enjoy everything about the classes: the respectful attitude, the way the material is presented, the overall atmosphere, and also the fact that the teacher shares unique aspects of Chinese culture."

"After just a few months of lessons, I can already see good progress. I’m learning Chinese for self-development, and the lessons themselves are a great source of motivation for me. The classes are interesting and productive."

"I’m learning Chinese for self-education, and one day I’d like to visit China with my family and be able to communicate with the locals. What motivates me most is that the lessons are fun: the teacher has a great sense of humor and explains things clearly. The classes are interesting, easy to understand, and engaging. The most memorable moment was when we spent almost the whole lesson laughing while discussing Chinese toilets and their peculiarities. I really like that the teacher is cheerful, explains the material in a clear way, and patiently repeats if something isn’t clear the first time."

"I lived in China for several years but wasn’t able to learn Chinese there because I mostly communicated in English and Russian. Now I’m studying Chinese for traveling and also to finally close the chapter on learning the language. My main motivation comes from the lessons themselves. They are interesting, inspiring, and productive. I really appreciate the teacher’s professionalism."

"I’ve been studying Chinese for more than a year. The lessons are always very well organized, and the progress is clear. I’m learning languages to use them abroad. What motivates me most is that in every class I get new knowledge. The lessons are interesting, useful, and productive. What I remember most are the game-like activities that make learning even more engaging. Above all, I really value the teacher’s unique approach."
