What better way to learn a language than communicating with a native speaker in real-time?

Duolingo can only teach you so much, but from personal experience, the most important aspect of learning a new language is to be fully immersed in its culture to understand the intricacies of that language.

I am completely fluent in Cantonese, Mandarin, and English, which gives me the advantage of explaining how you can improve effectively in the language you understand.

About Me
I have been tutoring for 3+ years and have always found it rewarding to see my students develop and grow. Having moved to the UK 3 years ago, my tutoring journey continued online with local students.

I am patient and always willing to explain something until you fully grasp its concept. Personalised notes and practices are always a must from me.

Hi! I recently graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English literature and Creative Writing from the University of East Anglia in the UK. What 3+ years of tutoring has taught me is that I help students grow by helping them understand and appreciate the English language through examining and dissecting various literary texts, as well as the use of practice papers and innovative brain teasers, thus helping them achieve higher grades.

**About My Classes**

Hi! I’m Leona, a native Mandarin speaker currently working as a full-time Chinese teacher at a secondary school in Thailand. I also teach Chinese online and specialize in HSK exam preparation.

I hold a CTCSOL certificate and have experience helping learners prepare for Chinese proficiency exams. My Mandarin pronunciation is clear and standard, and I focus on practical, structured methods that help students improve their performance and achieve measurable results.

**My Teaching Approach**

My main specialty is HSK exam preparation. I help students identify their weaknesses, set realistic study goals, and develop a targeted study plan based on their current level and exam date.

My lessons focus on the skills that matter for the exam, including vocabulary retention, character recognition, listening comprehension, reading comprehension, and practice with HSK-style questions. I use diagnostic exercises, targeted drills, mock tests, and regular feedback to help students understand their mistakes and improve systematically.

All the students I have trained for HSK exams so far have passed their respective exams. However, results depend on each student's starting level, effort, and consistency, so I cannot guarantee a particular result.

**Who Are My Classes For?**

My classes are best suited to self-motivated learners who have a clear goal and are willing to put in consistent effort outside class. I provide structured guidance and practical methods, but students are expected to complete assignments and take responsibility for their own progress.

Please note that my approach is intensive and practice-oriented. Some exercises, particularly listening repetition and dictation, can feel repetitive and challenging at first. However, consistent practice is essential for building the skills needed to perform well in an exam.

I also offer general Mandarin lessons and can help business professionals improve their Chinese communication skills. For business Chinese, I go beyond vocabulary and expressions to explore the cultural context of communication in Chinese workplaces.

If you are looking for a structured, goal-oriented approach to learning Chinese, I would be happy to help you work toward your goals.
