Jekaterina K. Teaches kids

Learn Chinese your way — from your very first words to studying or working in China! 🇨🇳 Hi! My name is Jekaterina, and I live and study in Xi’an, China. I hold a bachelor’s degree in International Economics and Trade from Xi’an Jiaotong University, one of China’s leading universities, and I am currently pursuing a master’s degree in Public Administration. All my university studies are conducted entirely in Chinese, and I am currently the only international student in my faculty. I hold an HSK 5 certificate with a score of 264 and have previous experience teaching Chinese in person. My students’ results speak for themselves: both passed HSK 4 after just seven months of studying Chinese from scratch, scoring 252 and 243 points! However, Chinese is much more than exam preparation. Everyone has different reasons for learning a language, and I tailor my lessons to your individual goals. What can we work on together? * Chinese from scratch: Build a strong foundation in pronunciation, tones, vocabulary, grammar, and everyday communication. * HSK preparation: Follow a structured study plan, practise exam tasks, and work towards your target score. * Chinese for business: Learn practical vocabulary and expressions for professional communication, negotiations, trade, and working with Chinese partners. * Chinese as a hobby: Explore the language, Chinese culture, and everyday expressions at your own pace. * Chinese for children: Discover the language through age-appropriate activities, engaging materials, and interactive lessons. * Speaking and listening practice: Become more confident communicating in real-life situations. I create and adapt my own learning materials to suit each student’s level, interests, and goals. Since I live and study in China, I can also share practical insights into everyday life, university studies, and communication in a Chinese-speaking environment. Whether you want to pass an exam, advance your career, prepare for university in China, help your child discover a new language, or simply learn something new, we will build a learning plan that works for you. You don’t need to know where to start — just bring your goal, and we’ll take it from there. Let’s learn Chinese together!

Personalised lessons, clear explanations, and practical results! 🇨🇳 My teaching style is structured, flexible, and tailored to each student’s goals. I believe learning Chinese doesn’t have to be overwhelming — with the right approach, even a language as different from European languages as Chinese can become much easier to understand. Every lesson is designed around you. Whether you are preparing for HSK, learning Chinese for business, planning to study in China, helping your child discover a new language, or simply learning for fun, I adapt the lesson content, pace, and materials to your needs. Here’s what you can expect from my lessons: * Clear and simple explanations. I break down grammar, pronunciation, tones, and sentence structures into manageable steps, so you understand not just what to say, but why. * Personally prepared materials. I create and adapt learning materials to match your level, interests, and objectives instead of relying exclusively on a textbook. * A balance of theory and practice. We build a strong foundation while actively practising speaking, listening, reading, and vocabulary in context. * A structured learning plan. We set realistic goals, track your progress, and adjust our approach as you improve. * Practical, real-life Chinese. Since I live and study in China and use Chinese in my academic life and everyday communication, I can help you connect what you learn in class with how the language is actually used. * A supportive learning environment. You can ask questions, make mistakes, and learn at your own pace. Mistakes are a natural part of learning, and understanding them is how you improve. For exam preparation, I focus on the skills and strategies needed to achieve your target score. For business Chinese, we concentrate on professional vocabulary and real communication scenarios. For hobby learners and children, I make lessons engaging, accessible, and enjoyable. My goal is not simply to teach you Chinese, but to help you understand the language, use it with confidence, and see your progress step by step. We’ll find the learning approach that works best for you and turn your goals into a clear, achievable plan!
