My teaching starts with helping students to find his/her own method of learning.
I teach both English and Chinese!
I have a PhD in linguistics, TESOL certificate and Certificate in Teachers of Chinese to Speakers of Other Languages issued by Ministry of Education in Taiwan. (教育部華語文師資證書)
Culture is also an important element in my lesson, because language is the mirror of a culture. For example, the word "good 好" in Chinese is a combination of a boy and a girl because Chinese believe having a son and a daughter is the perfect combination.
I am also an experienced language learner. Besides my mother tongue Chinese, I also speak English, French, and Dutch. I am an experienced teacher. I also worked as a linguistic assistant professor in Taiwan. Therefore, in my Chinese lesson, I will use my linguistic knowledge to help you to study the pronunciation and the structure of Chinese words and sentences.
I enjoy teaching, sharing my language knowledge with students, and learning from students'
feedback! I studied 5 years in Texas and have been living in Belgium for 10 years.
