Fun conversation lessons- English or Chinese (Mandarin / Cantonese)

From 48.54 C$ /h

Hello! My name is Mary and I'm from Singapore. I love traveling, meeting people and learning languages. I'm a polyglot, that means I'm interested in languages and can use quite a few of them fluently: English, Mandarin, Cantonese, Japanese, etc.

My background
I've been living and teaching in Japan for over 20 years. I've taught at schools and universities, large corporations (JR East), government Ministries (MOE),and even the military (JIETAI).

During my time here, I've taught English (still teaching) to people from all walks of life: school students, teachers, home-makers, retirees, technicians, designers, company executives, physicians, lawyers, police officers and military personnel, etc. I've taught conversational Mandarin & Cantonese too, to students of all ages, both in person and online.

My focus and belief
I'm friendly, fun and energetic. In my classes, I focus largely on having a good time. My belief is that you learn better if you're having a good time. Of course, I also believe in helping my students improve their pronunciation, intonation, and fluency; and for them to reach the goal of communicating naturally and confidently in the language (languages) they choose to learn.

So, what are you waiting for? Contact me today, and let's start this exciting-and-fun-learning journey together!

Accents, spelling / characters:
-English: North American
-Mandarin: Mainland China (Simplified Chinese)
-Cantonese: Hong Kong (Traditional Chinese)

Extra information

Bring a pencil and notebook if we're having the lesson in person. For online lessons: Zoom, Facetime, Messenger or Line. Let me know what's best for you!

Native English, originally from London but currently living in west Tokyo.

My name is Gabriel, and I'm a certified English Teacher from South America! I speak both Spanish and English at a native level. I've recently relocated to Tokyo and I'm on an adventure learning about your beautiful country and language. I majored in English and Linguistics, so I have a lot of knowledge about how language acquisition works in our brains! My previous jobs were at a bilingual school and online working with adults, preparing them for exams and teaching them English for future life challenges. In classes, we're going to use games, technology and talk about YOU a lot! Besides, I'm going to share with you very interesting practical tips for passive language acquisition ( for outside the classes). Looking forward to getting in touch with you! :)

Happy to help you with any questions you have. I am a native, CELTA qualified English language teacher. The lessons will be adapted your ability and anything you want to learn. Or we can just talk about different topics to practice speaking and listening.

This class offers a way to broaden your horizons to the world because you will be able to learn key English conversational skills from a graduate of the Cambridge curriculum. This class is for beginners to intermediate English speakers as the classes themselves will be flexible. Looking forward to see you in class!

Hi! I’m Adrien, a native French speaker with a passion for teaching English. Having grown up in France and the UK, I truly understand the challenges of learning a second language. In fact, I had to learn English myself, and that experience has made me even more empathetic and skilled at helping students who may find it difficult at times. I know what it feels like to face language barriers, and I’m here to help you break through them!

I graduated from the London School of Economics (LSE), where I studied law and economics, and through my academic journey, I developed a deep appreciation for the power of effective communication. Over the years, I’ve taught English to students of all levels, and I always make sure my lessons are engaging, personalized, and focused on your unique needs.

✨ What you’ll learn in my lessons:
✔️ Fun and easy grammar and vocabulary to help you communicate confidently.
✔️ Speaking practice to boost your confidence and hold real conversations.
✔️ Pronunciation to sound clearer and more natural when you speak.
✔️ Creative writing skills – from emails to short stories!
✔️ Listening and understanding what you hear in movies, songs, and conversations.
✔️ Fun activities to improve your reading and comprehension skills.

With 6 years of experience teaching English to students of all ages and levels, I’m passionate about making each lesson engaging and tailored to your needs!

Hi there! I'm Joy from Singapore. I'm Singaporean Chinese with roots in north China - I was born in Shandong but I've lived in Singapore since I was 2. That's why I speak both Chinese and English at a native level. For Chinese, I use putonghua (standard Chinese pronunciation) and for English, I use a neutral accent when teaching.

I love learning languages and meeting people from different backgrounds, so I'd be more than happy to learn about your language goals. I'm also able to customise the lessons to suit you. If you need a shorter or longer lesson, please let me know.

Having taken the old HSK6 exam (back when there was no HSK7-9), I totally understand how challenging it can be. I'm trained to teach HSKK and HSK. I can also help you practice and improve conversational Chinese.

If you need help getting started with Chinese, or if you're feeling stuck and aren't sure how to progress, please feel free to drop me a message! :)

Howdy! That's a Texan greeting. I really enjoy socializing with students and helping them become more effective and confident communicators in English. I'm looking forward to meeting you!

I believe in teaching mostly through discussing, reading, and writing about the things my students are interested in. I provide explanations and corrections first in English, and I only use Japanese translation or grammar explanations when necessary. My lesson fees listed here could change depending on location, time of day, type of lesson, your goals, homework, etc.
