Hello! I'm a Master's student at EPFL and a patient, attentive Chinese tutor. In my free time, I love playing video games (like, fan of Undertale~), and being an older sister to a younger sibling has taught me a great deal about patience and how to explain things clearly and gently.

I understand the challenges of starting a new language from scratch. That's why I create immersive and highly interactive lessons tailored for complete beginners. One years ago, I had the pleasure of teaching a student from the UK, who told me, "I really enjoy learning Chinese with you". And I'm super happy too, because that experience, which was also my first real interaction with a foreigner, was rewarding and fuels my passion for teaching to this day.

If you're looking for a supportive and enjoyable way to start your Chinese journey, please get in touch!

P.S. I can speak both Mandarin and Cantonese, as I live in Hong Kong for 4 years.

你好、我叫海晴。こんにちは!
我係香港長大嘅混血兒. I was born and raised in Hong Kong 🇭🇰 , half Japanese 🇯🇵. I am totally fluent in Cantonese and Japanese.
I have been living in Japan for the past 8 years.
As a native Japanese speaker who hasn't lived in Japan my entire life, I understand how challenging it can be to learn natural Japanese--or any language --on your own. I’ve spent years struggling with it myself, so I understand. That’s why I’m here—to help you experience Japanese/Cantonese the way it’s really spoken.

With me, you’ll learn things you could never get from a textbook or without having a native speaker around you.
I have 7 years of teaching experience in Cantonese and Japanese. I truly enjoy explaining and sharing knowledge in detail, helping learners absorb and understand step by step. I believe that improving little by little each time is more than enough to make great progress.

In our lessons, we will focus on:

Casual conversation (to improve speaking and listening)
Natural pronunciation
Expressing feelings and thoughts naturally
Learning vocabulary in a way that feels easy and not overwhelming
Staying focused while keeping lessons enjoyable and engaging!
Reading and writing skills (for learners who want to aim higher)

We are having our class on Google Meet. I will send you the code 30 minutes before the lesson start. Please keep in contact on apprentus.

You don’t need to bring any textbooks—I will provide all the materials for you. But if you prefer to use your own textbook, that’s completely fine too.

I will organize each lesson according to your needs. Please feel free to make any requests or ask questions anytime—I’ll be happy to help!

I teach Cantonese online and I take great pleasure in teaching the language in a lively, understandable and practical way.

In China, I worked for three years as a teacher in an arts and education institution, where I regularly gave lessons.
I now incorporate this pedagogical experience into my language teaching.

I have a bachelor's degree in sculpture and am currently studying in the performance class at the Academy of Fine Arts Munich.
My artistic background helps me to make lessons creative, interactive and varied – learning should be fun!

In class, we work a lot with speaking and listening. You will learn, for example:
• the correct pronunciation and tones in Cantonese
• everyday dialogues and useful phrases
• Free speaking step by step
• Insights into Cantonese culture and actual language use

The lessons are individually tailored to your level and your goals – whether you are a beginner or advanced student.
Explanations are available in German, English, Mandarin or Cantonese.

I look forward to helping you learn Cantonese!
