Vocabulary Development - Cantonese Tutors & Teachers

Hi, I'm Jane, I grew up in Guangdong Province, so I can speak both Cantonese and Mandarin fluently. I have been teaching online for one year. I have taught more than 400 classes for students from all over the world. What does it like having class with me? The class is customized according to your goal and your level. I offer conversational class mostly. In the class, we'll talk about a lot of things, your favorite movie, your passion for your job, your exciting journey, your great experience of studying aboard, anything you interested in. While you sharing your experience, I'll correct your pronunciation, your grammar and try to broaden your vocabulary. I believe that learning from conversation is the most effective way to acquire a language . Because only when you open your mouth to speak, can you really learn the language. You will greatly improve your confidence in using the language when you truly speaking it. I love teaching, Nothing beats the feeling of hearing good news from my students, being able to speak with their grandparents in Chinese, enjoy the journey in Honkong, getting a job offer, surprising their colleague with their Chinese communication skills, getting a contract from oversea clients, and a lot more. I know you are different, and you have special goals for learning Chinese. I'm motivated to help you to achieve your goals. I'm excited to hear more about your goals and be part of your language learning journey. Book a class with me, and I'll see you!

Summary: - Know 5 languages and passed corresponding international exams (native Cantonese without Mandarin accent, Mandarin, English, French and Spanish) - Travel over the world and communicate effectively - Expriences in teaching foreign students (one on one) who are not in my own language (Chinese – Cantonese and Mandarin) - Worked in Canada and Asia Regional Office in different Multi-national Enterprises in Hong Kong; excellent communication skills with expatriates (foreigners) not only in business conversations, but also in casual talks Born and raised in Hong Kong, currently living in Canada and dealing with native English speakers every day. I speak native Cantonese, excellent Beijing standard Mandarin (passed the PSC – Putonghua Shuiping Ceshi, the National Putonghua Proficiency Test* with level certified to teach Mandarin), fluent English, medium level of French (passed DELF A2 level and finished classes of B1 level) and beginner level of Spanish (just passed DELE A1 level). I love travelling and had been visited across Asia, half of Europe, North Americas, South Americas, Middle-East and Australia . That’s why I would like to deliver my expriences to learn foreign languages efficiently and how to pass the corresponding International Language Exams. And of course, how to use them on your vocation and communicate with locals/foreigners. From my past expriences when I taught Mandarin to foreigners or when I learnt foreign languages, I truly understand what are the obstacles to learn another language. Most of the time you find a native speaker for teaching that language, but the teacher is incapable of translating or explaining the language to your understanding. Or sometimes, the teachers don’t have the right teaching agenda to suit your goals. Language is not something you can learn in one shot. You need you give out your patience, time, diligence and put them all together in actions to achieve your goals. The more important, find an adequate teacher. All of us, learning a language in purposes – for your career, for immigration, for school admission, for travelling, for cultural adaption, for talking to grandparents/spouse or just for fun.
