About Me

******GOOD NEWS******
Students who book a 20-lesson package with me can get free access to my yoga and meditation videos which are taught in Chinese (some with Chinese subtitles)


_________________About me____________________
A big 你好(Nǐ hǎo) to everyone! This is Poona, I am a Mandarin teacher and am currently living in Bosnia (I move every few months to experience and learn different cultures) . I enjoy books, music, movies, hiking, running, traveling, yoga and meditation. And I am a good listener and always open to share and learn. So tell me your stories:)

________________About my teaching experience__________________
With more than 5 years of teaching experience, I have students from a lot of corners of the world with different ages, I am confident with learners of different levels, So whatever you are a beginner, intermediate learner or advanced learner, I believe that we will find a way to work it out well for you. My classes are usually described fun and interesting, I hope you enjoy it too!

________________What you can expect____________________
Also, I am learning Spanish by myself at the moment and I do understand how hard it would be to start a new language, especially one is totally different from your mother tongue. Fortunately, Chinese is not too hard one to learn ( well, the characters do seem frightful at the first ) because there is no genders of nouns, no conjugation of verbs, not many grammar. It always pleases me to hear my students those used to think Chinese was super difficult before they started saying ' wooow~~I did not expect that Chinese could be so easy!' So if you have interest and good motivation to learn, just leave the rest to me:)

Look forward to seeing you in the class.
