My Experience
I have been teaching Mandarin Chinese for over ten years in Espoo, Helsinki and London. My clients include Finnair, De Beers, New York City-based Ziff Brothers Investments, DKLM Solicitors, BDO LLP, Morgan Stanley, Head of China at Globe Policy Institute, Royal College of Art, Shalini Misra Interior & Architectural Design and a scion of Fiat founder et al. In addition to adults I teach children aged from 5 to 9 and adolescents as well as university students. I am familiar with Mandarin GCSE exam and HSK1-6 exams. I have successfully helped students prepare for their exams and achieve good results. I also deliver Mandarin lessons to commercial organisations, such as Sedex and Xanadu Consultancy. Furthermore I teach Chinese History and Culture to individuals to help them prepare for their business trips to China as well as potential business expansion in the Market of China. I taught a prestigious painter Chinese Calligraphy. I have won a wide range of English Language contests and the experience of successfully learning English has enabled me to create a unique, interesting, lively and systematic way of learning foreign languages. I utilise the method and learn Korean by myself. After seven months I reached an intermediate level in Korean listening, speaking, reading and writing. Similarly after one month self-studies of Japanese I reached an intermediate level of Spoken Japanese. As a result I started to teach Korean and Japanese recently. I can also teach English at various levels, in particular to foreign students pursuing their studies in the UK.
