I founded CoSong Language Studio to bring structured learning together with stories, literature and real conversations. The goal is to express your own thoughts in Chinese.
I currently teach Chinese at UvA Talen, the University of Amsterdam’s language centre. I have a master’s background in Linguistics and Applied Linguistics, during which my research focused on Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language. I began teaching Chinese to international students at a university in China in 2011 and have taught Chinese in the Netherlands since 2016, including HSK levels 1–6. I have also worked on teaching and educational-content projects with the Groningen Confucius Institute.
CoSong is an independent language studio. Institution names are included only to describe my professional experience and current teaching work.
