Amstelveen is one of the most international places in the Netherlands: home to many multinational offices and to residents from all over the world, including a sizeable Chinese and wider Asian community. That makes it a natural place to learn Mandarin, whether you work with Chinese colleagues, have family connections or are simply curious about the language.

Online first, in person when it helps
Most learners outside Amsterdam take lessons online. It is the most practical option when your days are full: no travel, lessons before work or in a lunch break, and the same whiteboard, materials and feedback as in a classroom. See how online Chinese lessons work.
In-person lessons are possible by arrangement in the Amstelveen and Amsterdam area. The location is agreed when we plan the lessons; for companies, lessons can take place at your office. Many learners combine the two: a few in-person sessions to start, then online lessons for regularity. Amstelveen is close to Amsterdam by tram line 25 (the Amsteltram), which also makes lessons in Amsterdam easy to reach.
Which course fits you?
- Starting from zero? The course for beginners begins with pinyin and the four tones, then everyday phrases like 你好nǐ hǎo and 谢谢xièxie.
- Working with Chinese colleagues or clients? Business Chinese covers meetings, small talk and the cultural codes behind them, individually or as in-company training for a team.
- Need a certificate? HSK preparation for HSK 1–6 and the HSKK speaking test.
- Understand more than you can say? Conversation classes, including morning slots.
Chinese tutor in Amstelveen, or a qualified teacher?

Some are excellent; many are native speakers without teacher training. With me you learn from a teacher with a master’s degree in Teaching Chinese to Speakers of Other Languages, fifteen years of experience and a background running an official HSK online test centre. That shows in the plan, the materials and the speed of your progress. Prices and what is included are on the prices page.
