Hello, I am Derian Chen, my Chinese name is 陈智福 (Chén Zhìfú), and I am 华人 (Huá Rén), which means Chinese ethnicity or descent, regardless of nationality. I was born in Indonesia and raised in a Chinese overseas community. My ancestors came from Fujian province, China.
I have over 5 years of teaching experience, having started my career in high school. I hold both a Bachelor’s Degree and a Master’s Degree, with my Master’s focused on teaching Chinese to foreigners. I am fluent in English, so during the class, when I am explaining grammar and new words, there won’t be a language barrier.
as a teacher, I use different techniques and teaching methods. I don't use only one book and or one internet resource, I use different books to give a comprehensive understanding of Chinese language Speaking, listening, reading and writing are essential while learning Chinese. My responsibility is to introduce the characters in visual form, let the student understand from which strokes every character consists, develop listing and writing skills, practicing tones until they start to come naturally. together we will learn Chinese from the very basic structures to advanced. So you will be able to understand and express yourself in Chinese.
I tailor my lessons to fit each student’s needs, adjusting my teaching style based on their age and goals. I help students with HSK exam preparations, Chinese business communication, daily conversations, travel to China, university preparations, and homework...
Derian is a great teacher! Both of my sons enjoy his class very much ! It's not just about he is very professional in preparing learning materials, his method of teaching making students engaged, but also his outgoing, enthusiastic personality, everything making him an extreme high-value teacher. If you want to learn Chinese effectively and efficiently do not hesitate to try him !

I’ve been studying Mandarin with Derian for almost a year, and he’s honestly fantastic. He’s fun to talk to, never runs out of topics, and always asks great questions that get you speaking more (MOST important factor in learning I believe). He’s also a real professional teacher with a proper university degree in teaching Mandarin to foreigners, so while fun in lessons is very important, he can also properly explain everything about grammar or sentence structures. While his English (and Russian, Indonesian...) is flawless, he will make sure to keep the lesson in Mandarin as much as possible for your level.
His teaching style is super adaptive, and he provides tons of useful materials — both HSK and non‑HSK — including mock exams that really helped me prepare. Thanks to his guidance, I passed HSK3 with a score of 92/100 after only a few months ;). I couldn’t recommend him more. Most importantly, even after many lessons, every time I look forward to the next time we meet!
