    About Me

    I mainly focus on very motivated adult or late teen students looking for career advancement or education continuation.
    Booking a lesson with me you may expect a tailored approach for your business English studies which instead of going through a book by Oxford/Cambridge/else university will mainly rely on a set of video materials or YouTube series basing on your specific industry or professional needs, personalised exercises and work with your own materials (essays, resume, cases, storytelling etc).
    Please expect to work hard and effective.

    Practice your Mandarine/ Cantonese Speaking with a Native Speaker
    What better way to learn a language than communicating with a native speaker in real-time? Duolingo can only teach you so much, but from personal experience, the most important aspect of learning a new language is to be fully immersed in its culture to understand the intricacies of that language. I am completely fluent in Cantonese, Mandarin, and English, which gives me the advantage of explaining how you can improve effectively in the language you understand.

    Learn Chinese from A1 to C2, from having fun to prepare test
    I run private lessons, where all levels are welcome. But if you’re a total beginner then I offer basic classes to help you find the way to get into it. I develop diverse methods of teaching for the students. For the around 5-8 years old kids, I would like to set certain games to play with them, thereby the kids can learn the new language during the interaction and communication. In this way, different media, like color pictures, puppets, or storybooks are essential to make the course very attractive. For the teenager or advanced students, a structuralized teaching content based on scenarios or textbook could help the students to develop their language capacity efficiently in different aspects – listening, reading, speaking, and writing. Besides, I would like to give a deeper perspective for the Chinese- not only learning the language from the textbooks, but also the knowledge of the language, the culture, and the literature. Also, based on your need and situation, we choose different textbooks and make a personal teaching plan for you.
