Hi there! My name is Helen ๐
๐ I am a native Cantonese speaker, born and raised in Hong Kong ๐ญ๐ฐ As an international student myself, I understand the difficulties of studying in a different language and using it comfortably and confidently in different situations. Therefore, my goal is to share my tips with you on how to speak Cantonese and/or Mandarin fluently and confidently, drawing from my own learning experiences with English and how to speak it naturally.
๐ Bonus: to learn Mandarin at the same time (with request)
โ
I have more than 4 years of experience teaching children with special needs. Throughout the COVID years, I have also gained various experiences in online teaching. Due to my unique background, I would describe myself as patient and easy-going.
๐ฎ I believe in making learning fun, and I enjoy incorporating games into teaching because I believe that motivation is key!
๐ My priority is to teach others about the beauty of the endangered language, Cantonese. I aim to provide knowledge about Hong Kong and its culture, particularly to those born outside of Hong Kong who want to learn more about their heritage.
Conversational/ Fun everyday Cantonese

Tailored to meet specific requirements (travel purposes ๐ซ, to make conversations with your Cantonese friends/ significant other ๐ฌ, to understand Cantonese dramas ๐, etc.)
