I hold a master degree in teaching.

Me as a Teacher
I specialize in teaching Cantonese with a structured curriculum and personalized guidance, helping students progress from beginner to advanced levels with confidence.
🔹 Beginner Course (A1-A2): Focuses on pronunciation, essential vocabulary, grammar, and daily conversations. The lessons are 30% theory and 70% immersive practice, using repetition drills to build speaking fluency.
🔹 Intermediate Course (A2-B2): Emphasizes listening and vocabulary expansion. Students improve comprehension through dialogues, storytelling, and core word lists. Topics include daily life, business communication, culture, and current events. Mistakes are analyzed to ensure steady progress.

It's great to have class with Carine again! In today's lesson I was able to use a lot of Cantonese to express ideas. I really love the way you give supportive feedback to the student expressions and ideas in the target language. The suggested vocabulary was very helpful and offered very naturally without breaking the student's flow of thought. I thought the mp3 listening material was just at the level that I need. After listening to the mp3, I was able to read the traditional text as I remembered the material. This is a great way to practice the vocabulary in a reading format and was a great boost to my reading confidence of traditional Chinese. I think you have some great material for our next class!

In my trial lesson, I found Ms. Yuen to be a true professional. She was warm, welcoming, and I could tell she is very experienced and accustomed to listening to the goals of her students and pinpointing what their needs are. She asked about my preferences for learning styles. To further give me an idea of what I would be studying to make me feel at ease, she gave me some sample textbooks to look at (because I said I like books for my learning style). I initially chose a trial lesson with Ms. Yuen because I was looking for someone who was extremely well-versed in the language. Although I can speak fluently, I am not very literate at all. Her credentials and experience certainly shone through in the trial lesson. I am looking forward to continuing my studies with Ms. Yuen and type a review in Chinese one day!

Ms Yuen gave a very thorough picture of our study plan. She is very accomodating to all levels of language proficiency and I felt comfortable with her even though I was a bit nervous about my language proficiency at first. I fully recommend anyone wanting to learn Cantonese to book a lesson with Ms Yuen.
