I am a registered teacher in Hong Kong, graduated from the Chinese Department of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, and have completed a master's program in International Chinese Education at CUHK. I have passed the Hong Kong Teacher Putonghua Benchmark Test and achieved a Level 2 A score (88.9 points) in the National Language Committee Putonghua Proficiency Test (PSC). I have ten years of teaching experience in Hong Kong secondary schools, teaching Putonghua, Chinese, Chinese history, and Chinese literature, and I am also a private tutor in Putonghua and Cantonese. The secondary school students I have tutored have won the championship in the Putonghua category at the "Hong Kong Inter-school Recitation Festival." I am currently recording teaching videos for a company that serves Hong Kong expatriates, offering them for download to its members, using Putonghua as the teaching language, introducing local Hong Kong expressions, and explaining related culture. I have rich experience in teaching Cantonese and Putonghua, and the adult students I have taught come from various industries, including finance, insurance, real estate, hotels, and retail, holding different positions such as senior management, human resources, frontline services, and sales. I understand the learning difficulties faced by students and can provide the most suitable teaching materials according to individual needs. In addition to one-on-one private tutoring, I also offer group teaching and internal training for companies to meet the academic or professional needs of various students and assist them in achieving their expected learning goals in a short time. I hope to have the opportunity to become your tutor!

I am so happy to have found Teacher Yoneko. She has inspired the children to develop an interest in Japanese and has helped them to learn Japanese very quickly. Now they are learning to read and write well. Even if I see Japanese words when I go out, I will read them and try to find Japanese friends to talk to.

Is it difficult to learn Cantonese pronounciations?

There are six hundred unique sounds in Cantonese and also nine different tones with which these sounds are pronounced.

Students should consider joining group classes to interact and practice with other classmates.

How do I pick the best Cantonese class for myself?

Before selecting an instructor or Cantonese course, you should know what your objectives are such as being able to hold a basic conversation, or in preparation for an exam, presentation. You can look for the instructor's education background and experience before making a decision.
