If you are doing the other way round, or learning Cantonese for personal interest, I am happy to help you advancing your Cantonese and know more about the Hong Kong culture.

Stephen is super nice, attentive and delightful to talk with. He asks good questions to encourage me to speak, taking notes in the meantime, and after I finished my sentences, he lets me know my good choice of words and mistakes I made. He also elaborates certain points to me so that I know how to use a word in various contexts. Thank you Stephen for the fantastic first lesson and I will definitely book another one!

Very impressed with my first lesson with Stephen. He is professional, encouraging and a HK native speaker which is quite different from the other Cantonese teachers on this platform. If you want to learn HK slang and sound like a native HK speaker, it is quite important to learn from a HK native speaker in my opinion as there are certain terms that are used in HK but not Guangzhou.

Stephen is incredibly patient and supportive. In our first lesson, he helped me learn new words and especially helped me with pronunciation (which is the most important thing in Cantonese!). I felt safe to make mistakes and learn from them with his help. I almost don't want to recommend him to anyone because I'm afraid he will get so popular with new students - he's so good! I'm sure he will become a favorite teacher of any student who takes his classes.

Stephen 係好犀利嘅導師。 我好欣賞佢幫我學港式廣東話,成日介紹好多新字。佢好親切, 仲有佢解釋意思同文法特別好。又好玩,又好組織。以前我會好驚講廣東話,好怕醜, 不過佢鼓勵學生試下練習講。希望我可以繼續勞力!多謝晒! Stephen is an amazing tutor! I really appreciate him helping me to learn HK Cantonese, always introducing me to new words. He is very friendly and excellent at explaining grammar and vocab. Our classes are both fun and very organized. I used to be really afraid of speaking Canto, but he encourages his students to try hard and to speak more. I really hope I can continue to work hard at improving my Cantonese. Thank you so much!
