Learn Cantonese Online from One of Our Tutors on Skype or Zoom

Hello, my name is Orfila, I am originally from Hong Kong, but I live in Guangzhou all the time now. I can speak English, Mandarin and Cantonese fluently, and I know some Italian.

I graduated from Guangdong University of Foreign Studies. After graduation，I worked in Guangdong TV station and also for American Mead Johnson Co. With the passion of teaching, I became an English and Chinese teacher. After studying at a professional school for teaching Mandarin, I got the certificate for Programme in International Mandarin Teaching from Pearson.

I am easy-going, outgoing, patient and passion in life. I have traveled a lot of countries, like Europe, Turkey, Egypt, India, Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand, Japan, Korea, Fiji, Maldives etc. Base on my travelling experience, every one found it is easy to make friend with me, now the students I have taught from many different countries.

As an experienced teacher, I knew the mistakes all students would make, and will explain the hard point in different method like pictures, cards, demonstrations, PinYin practicing methods, gestures, etc.

Though these ways to deepen and make you remember the pronunciation. In my opinion, learning a language needs various interaction methods, communication etc. I will create scenes then let you find what you do, and guide you to speak Chinese properly. In the end of class, you will have homework to strengthen what you learn during the lesson.

I can also teach children 7 years old and above. I will use cards, little games, songs etc, when I teach children. I will also focus on listening and speaking, and go though some simple Chinese characters. For HSK, I teach from HSK level 1 to HSK level 5.

I can teach all levels of Mandarin, and I will speak clearly and slowly until you understand. If you want to learn Chinese, I am the right one you need. Looking forward to being your tutor.

Please note I am raising my price to $12.68 USD for a 50 minute lesson on March 19th.

Hi I am Alex, a native Chinese speaker fluent in Mandarin and Cantonese. I am an English teacher in China, with a Teachers Qualification Certificate (China), I've been teaching kids English for five years. Graduated from Wuzhou University, my main subject was International Trading English. I have a background in the export business for more than 10 years.

As an experienced teacher, I am keeping a sense of understanding my students well. By studying my students' pronunciation, mistakes on grammar, or other learning behaviors, I could deduce what problems my students might face, thus helping you to improve your Chinese.

I would include different teaching methods in my class. From students point of view, you would see me showing props, or a short movie, you would see a grammar structure being written on a white board, you would see me replacing flash cards to lead you to say Chinese sentences.

Base on your current level, period time of learning, and your main goal on language skills (some would specially focus on speaking), I could make customized learning program for you, that would include full details including how much time we are spending on sentence structure, vocabulary, listening and speaking. Every time after class, you would receive some materials, showing key points we have covered, along with some homework, so you could consolidate and get ready for a new lesson.

I've been teaching kids English for years, as young as 6 years old. I know kids very well. I would introduce stories and pictures in my class, of course those materials would carry a certain language tasks. I also have a business background related to export industry. I would be happy to discuss some interesting facts about doing business in China. Some interactive scenes like a business meeting, a trade negotiation, or itinerary discussion could be included in our classes.

If you learn with me, you will gain confidence and progress quickly.

Hi! My name is Tina. I grew up in China in Guangzhou. I also lived in Hong Kong and South Korea, but now I live in Taiwan. I graduated from Guangdong University of Foreign Studies. My major was international business. I have three years of teaching experience, mainly about tutoring foreign students Chinese, and children English from six to eleven years old.

During the teaching session,I plan and prepare my own teaching materials and use props (such as cards, songs, games, videos, etc.) to engage students in learning (this is especially useful for children). I also design each student’s study plans and learning outcomes. By observing each student's situation, I provide solutions tailored to each student’s problems. In class, I like to discuss the culture and history of my country, and I also encourage students to talk about their own country. It is my teaching philosophy to have a relaxed and light-hearted classroom experience.

After class, I will give students homework and tests to evaluate their progress. I will give feedback to help and encourage students to make more progress. If needed, I can tutor students to take the HSK exam from level 1 to level 6.

When I was at the university, I have studied general economics, as well as management classes including business management, marketing, financial management, so if you want to learn business Mandarin, I have a good theoretical background with business topics. I can also speak and understand some Korean since I lived in Korea for some time.

My previous students had learned Chinese quickly, and they recommended me to other students. If you would like to learn Mandarin or Cantonese, I hope to have the opportunity to become your tutor.

I use our trial lesson to get to know each other. Meanwhile, I also discuss about the learning targets and the method we will use. Before the trial lesson, you are welcomed to send me a message about what you’ve known and what you want to learn if you wish. If you prefer your own material, please send it to me and I can teach accordingly. If you’d like me to prepare materials, I can design a tailored made lesson and modify it accordingly. For adults, I use HSK most of the time. For children, I have used different text books from their schools. I put effort to prepare my lesson plan and adapt it to student’s learning progress on the way. During the lessons, I explain the teaching plan and how we can achieve it with mutual effort. I give a lot of chances to students and encourage them to use the language in speaking and sometimes writing if they’d like to have some homework.
 
Below is my experience from work,
 
- 1 year in an expatriate agency to assist visa for foreigners in China. Meanwhile, I helped to match foreign teachers to language schools accordingly.
- 2.5 years I worked in an international preschool as customer service role to build good relationships with parents. Meanwhile, I managed a team of 20 teachers/caretakers for a period of time.
-2 years I worked in an AML project for a HK bank in an audit firm in Guangzhou.
-2.5 years I worked as a shadow teacher for a primary student studying in a British curriculum based school in China.
-Currently I am working in a learning support (SEN) department in an international school.
 
In the lessons, I can use photo stories, whiteboard, flashcard etc. Each lesson, you will have a file document of what we’ve learned. On the way of teaching, I am very glad to receive feedback from you to better prepare the lesson plan and achieve the goal. In my free time, I am interested in yoga, coffee, walking, cycling, travelling, reading and idea exchange. I am looking forward to meeting you in my lessons.
