Master’s in Teaching Chinese | 10+ Years Experience | University Teacher
Hi! I’m Zhang Shuang, a certified Chinese teacher with over a decade of experience—from European classrooms to Shanghai universities. I specialize in making Mandarin natural and fun for learners of all levels, using real-life scenarios and interactive games.
When I’m not teaching, you’ll find me hiking forests (sunset chaser 🌄), cheering for Germany’s football team ⚽, or playing tennis. Let’s turn your Chinese goals into reality—with patience, humor, and zero stress! 😊

I've been taking Chinese classes with Joana for six months. Joanna's classes are very fun and helpful for my learning process. I laugh a lot even though she's very professional at the same time! A gem!

Joanna is a great teacher. It’s obvious that she is a professional teacher not only with many years of teaching experience but also with a very rich experience of spending time abroad in various countries and cultures. This helps tremendously. Last but not least, Joanna has a good sense of humor making class not only a learning experience but also a lot of fun.

Another great lesson with Joanna. Tailored approach, good mood, fun. Highlight of my day! I wish she would also teach Vietnamese :-)) because I will focus more on that language in the coming months. To busy to do both at the moment, so will sacrifice Mandarin because I’m pretty advanced already.
