Hi, learners! I am a certified TCSOL Chinese teacher. I am a native speaker of Cantonese in Hong Kong, able to help you in all aspects of learning and perfecting Cantonese. After graduation from PolyU majoring in Bilingual Studies, I started my freelance language teaching career. Besides, I have a good connection with National Museum of Beijing and Zhejiang University. My academic interests are Speech Therapy and Teaching Chinese as a Second Language. Learners from kids to adults also love my classes. My students are from America, Britain, China, Denmark, Sweden, Japan, The Philippines, Thailand, Iran, India, Pakistan and more. As a language lover, I can speak Cantonese, English, Mandarin, Japanese and some Urdu. Right now, I am also a co-organizer of a digital salon on Discord. My favorite authors are Charles Dickens, Conan Doyle, Virginia Woolf, Margaret Atwood, Haruki Murakami, Bruce Lee, Jin Yong, Ni Kuang, Zhou Youguang, Roald Dahl, Roger Hargreaves and J.K Rowling. My interests are reading, writing, drawing Pastel Nagomi Art, making beeswax flowers, playing with candles and preserved flowers, playing with origami, listening to pop songs, singing, hiking, cycling, watching martial art movies and Marvel Movies. My favorite singers are Leslie Cheung, Jay Chou, Beyond, Mr. Children, Westlife, Linkin Park, Yui, Marie Digby, Avril Lavigne, Britney Spears, Bianca Wu, Christina Aguilera, Hilary Duff, Michelle Branch, Esmee Denters and Shahzoda. My favorite dramas are Lizzy McGuire, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Lily Franky’s Tokyo Tower. My favorite character is Bei Ka Chiu, Cantonese Pikachu, who was killed by Mandarin Pikachu in 2016. My favorite song is Ekin Cheng’s Automatic Victory Let’s Fight (Theme Song of Digimons). More to tell, I got an A+ in the subject of Written Communications, which was about reading all the books of Professor Zhou Youguang. Since I needed to learn the scripts from all over the world when I was a freshman, I listened many songs on YouTube to kill boredom. More difficulties, more love. In my experience, listening a lot of pop songs is a key to learn languages. Dr. Charlie Zhao, who comes from Beijing, is one of my students. He graduated from UC Berkeley. When I met him, Charlie was still a teacher for master degree in Public Policy in CityU. He had been living in HK for 5 years and was still waiting for his permanent residency. However, he couldn’t speak Cantonese. For his career prospect, he decided to spend at least twice a week with me. After six months, he could even use popular idioms like local young people. More importantly, he can have a better presentation in Cantonese in his new workplace in the field of financial services. Right now, Charlie becomes “a real HongKonger”. Finally, he can be brave to apply for governmental positions which require Cantonese fluency. Besides, I am also a collaborator of Translate For Her-THEM and HKSKH Lady MacLehose Center for voluntary language education in order to help EM people from underprivileged class better integrate into HK society. I believe that what I am doing is creating a better world and a better HK with love, hope, fairness and happiness. Rate discounts are available. Please inquire for details. Come language exchange with Iris! I look forward to working with you soon! :P Thank you! Note: during these troubling Covid times, I am providing tutoring by Zoom for HK$300/hr. Face-to-face tutoring rate is HK$400/hr. Love me? Please leave me a message! : ) Real living is living for others - Bruce Lee

Hello everyone, my name is Daisy and I'm a native Cantonese speaker from Hong Kong. I have an education background in Chinese history and literature. For the past several years, I've taught young kids through classroom settings and helped people to correct their Cantonese and Chinese online from time to time. I have high interest and motivation to not only continue teaching for kids, but also for adults too! In today's generation, Mandarin is slowly taking over Hong Kong, which may lead to a lesser use of Cantonese in our near future. Therefore, I would like to remind everyone how different and unique Cantonese is by helping you inherit and improve our language through communication, reading and writing activities. If you are interested, please feel free to contact me at anytime!

I am Mr Liu. It is very nice to know you are interested in learning Chinese or Cantonese. I am a Chinese living in Hong Kong and has been a Chinese language teacher in the Secondary school for forty years. I have retired from the teaching post in secondary school now, but I am glad to teach again through personal tutorial, such as teaching native students Chinese Language, or foreigners Cantonese. After retirement, I want to teach foreign friends to know Chinese and Chinese culture. As there are many foreign neighbors living nearby my home, I know their language needs in communication. In the past, I graduated from the University of Hong Kong and complete the master program of Chinese Literature in the Chinese University. The education I received gives me the best understanding about language and culture. As I have taught Chinese Language, Literature and Culture in the Secondary school for forty years, I have a great understanding about the learning of Chinese Language as well. It is really useful in experience, because students learning Chinese or Cantonese nowadays always meet and face language and cultural difficulties at the same time. In learning Cantonese, students also wish to understand more about local Culture, which is useful for them to work and live in Hong Kong or nearby China. I all admit that learning Cantonese is not easy, but the effectiveness of learning is two-way; a good teacher can make the learning process enjoyable and fruitful for both parties. In the learning process of reading, writing, listening and speaking, talented students also need guidance from mentors. Everyone has their own unique learning ability because of their mother culture and education background. Therefore, the process of learning language is at the same time the process of discovering yourself and giving full exercise to your strengths. Both teachers and students can experience new experiences of learning and teaching. I am happy to teach and listen. I am willing to pay more patience and attention for the needs of students. I hope that the students who follow me can get the fruits of learning, so that they can make good use of Cantonese in work and life, and develop their ability to communicate. The design of learning process has always been effective and efficient to help people learn language. Students will find that Cantonese is difficult to learn in the beginning, but they will experience an easier way through a well designed learning process. And this learning process is not dull at all because the strong tradition of culture in Cantonese will actually strengthen their learning interests. Of course, learning should not be rushed. Starting from the current level, it takes time and effort to reach proficiency step by step. Every lesson is precious. I hope there are well-designed lessons and there are also students who are devoted to learning. As a Christian, I accept this part-time job as my mission. Before starting the lesson, may I ask my students the same question: “Lei hou! Before starting the lesson, my I know more the language level of my student? I hope I can prepare the most suitable teaching material for the lessons.”

I am a man originated from Hong Kong. Cantonese is my mother tongue and I would love to share this wonderful language to whoever is interested! I have taught students about other language and subjects so I have a certain amount of tutoring experience. Cantonese - As described as one of the most difficult language to learn... Is so fascinating, even for the same word, same pronunciation, it would have completely different meaning when paired up with different words. I will start by teaching basic daily conversation usage of the language, then further down into certain aspects varied by the students interest.

(Only available for Online lessons) I am native Cantonese and Mandarin speaker from Malaysia who recently relocating to United Kingdom to further higher education study. So currently I will only be able to conduct online lesson unless you are residing in West Sussex in the UK. I picked up German when I lived in Germany and I am very impressed by my language teacher and i am trilled to learn from him, to share my native languages with people who will be interested in learning and practicing on top of being a dance instructor as my main career development. Coming from a teaching background granted me to actively looking solutions with students, other than just deliver the required objectives, communication is the key. During the tuition, a personalised syllabus and worksheets will be customised to you, other languages, for instance, English, will be minimally used. This is to allow students pick up faster, without your native language floating around during your tuition time, you will be able to push yourself more to use and process with the learning language.
