I have extensive experience teaching Thai to foreigners, including the partners of Thai nationals and children from mixed Thai families. I have taught students of all ages, from young children aged 5 and above to adult learners, in Belgium.

In addition, I owned and managed a language school in Thailand with approximately 50 students and a team of four teachers. The school offered four different subjects, and I was responsible for overseeing daily operations, curriculum development, and staff management.

I also worked as a full-time English teacher at an underprivileged school, where I planned and delivered engaging lessons while supporting students from diverse educational and social backgrounds.

My combined experience in teaching, school management, and cross-cultural communication has enabled me to develop strong organizational, leadership, and interpersonal skills.

Do you want to learn Chinese, whether for your child, your studies, your work, a trip, or simply out of curiosity? I offer Mandarin courses adapted for children, teenagers, and adults, from beginner to intermediate level!

Currently in my final year of a Master's degree in Chinese studies, I speak four languages (French, Dutch, English and Chinese) and I had the opportunity to live and study for a year in Beijing, at the 外交学院 (China Foreign Affairs University).

My career has also been marked by several participations in the Chinese Bridge Competition, a major international Chinese language competition. I twice achieved second place in the Belgian final and then participated in the storytelling event (故事会), where I reached the Top 50 worldwide.

My method is based on a structured progression inspired in particular by the HSK, while being adapted to the objectives and pace of each student. We can work on pronunciation and tones, vocabulary, grammar, characters, listening comprehension as well as oral and written expression.

For children and teenagers, I use an interactive approach with games, stories, pictures, dialogues, and age-appropriate activities. For adults, I can tailor the lessons more to conversation, practical Chinese, everyday situations, travel, studies, or a professional context.

I also wish to share my passion for Chinese culture, which I had the opportunity to explore in depth during my year in Beijing. Since language and culture are closely linked, the courses can also incorporate elements of traditions, festivals, history, and daily life in China.

Each lesson is therefore personalized according to the student's level, age and objectives.

Whether you are a complete beginner or wish to consolidate an intermediate level, my goal is to enable you to progress in Chinese in a serious, structured and motivating way.
