Structured Chinese Lessons for Adults | PhD Linguist | 12+ Years Experience Hello! I’m Gao-Gao 高高, a Chinese linguist and university lecturer based in Paris. I hold a PhD in Chinese linguistics and teach Chinese at a univeristy in Paris. Over the past 13 years, I have taught complete beginners, university students, heritage speakers and professionals, including nearly 1,500 hours of online lessons. My teaching style is clear, structured and supportive. With my background in linguistics, I help students understand how Chinese actually works instead of simply memorizing words and phrases. I also give students plenty of opportunities to speak, respond and express their own ideas. Depending on your level and goals, our lessons may include: 🗣 Speaking and real-life communication 📚 Grammar and sentence structure 🎧 Listening and pronunciation ✍️ Reading, writing and vocabulary 💬 Culture, society and complex topics For beginners and intermediate learners, I can use a textbook as a structured framework while adapting the content to your interests and daily life. For advanced learners and heritage speakers, I design personalized lessons using reading or listening materials, writing tasks and in-depth discussion. Each lesson is adapted to your needs, with personalized materials, feedback and optional homework to support steady progress. I speak both English and French and can use either language to explain Chinese when needed. If you are ready to participate actively and make meaningful progress, I would be happy to meet you!

I have been studying with teacher Gao-Gao for about 6 months now and I'm very happy with my progress. Every lesson I'm more and more impressed with the varied study materials as well as interesting exercises and homework she provides. Thanks to these lessons with teacher Gao-Gao, I'm starting to believe I will be able to achieve a high level of Mandarin Chinese one day despite being a bit of an older student who is often busy and tired.

Structure de cours bien établie avec une continuité naturelle entre les cours. Revue des devoirs en début de chaque cours. Leçon structurée avec du nouveau vocabulaire / des tournures de phrase et des exercices pour les assimiler. Un oral facilement compréhensible et un professeur très sympathique!
