Nǐ hǎo, I'm Marina 👋
I am a professional full-time Mandarin Chinese teacher originally from northern China — the birthplace of standard Mandarin. I founded a Chinese language training school in northern China and have been teaching for over 10 years.
When I came to Europe, I continued teaching Chinese full time for more than six years. I teach Chinese at university, online, and in the office — bringing the language to students wherever they are.
I believe that a language is best learned through a combination of listening, speaking, reading, and writing. That's why my lessons are interactive and dynamic, encouraging students to actively participate and practice their skills.
After every class, I provide a PDF to practice. I type the important content into clear, well-structured documents that are essential for review. You'll see your progress faster than you expect!
Learning Chinese is fun! With the right teacher and the right approach, anyone can master Mandarin — no matter your age or background.
— MarinaMy Teaching Approach
Listening & Speaking First
Every lesson starts with real conversation practice. You'll be speaking from day one — no dry grammar exercises.
Reading & Writing
Characters might look daunting, but with the right method they become second nature. We build up step by step.
PDF Notes After Every Lesson
After each class you receive a PDF with the key content. Review it in your own time and watch your progress soar.
