** Apologies I am not accepting new students at the moment **
My name is Stephen. I am HongKonger.
I studies computer science at Uni. After I graduated, I worked in Central Hong Kong for a long time. I accustomed to the fast-paced lifestyle. In 2018, I moved to the UK to look for more prospects for my career and work-life balance.
I now live in Scotland. I have been improving my English over the past few years to blend in like a local. 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.
Ik als leerkracht
I have 2 years of experience teaching Cantonese. I helped expats and exchange students to improve their Cantonese pronunciation and grammar.
After taking my classes, they are more confident to communicate with their local friends and colleagues now. A few of my students only knew "nei5 hou2" at the beginning, but now they can talk to their neighbors, their taxi drivers and hotel receptionists entirely in Cantonese.
When it comes to teaching Cantonese, I'm always patient, supportive and encouraging.
Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
Reading, writing, speaking and listening are the four fundamental skills of language learning.
I believe you could learn how to read or write Cantonese from textbooks and online resources, but you have to actually start speaking to achieve fluency. I usually suggest my students to focus on speaking in the class. I will help you improve the pronunciation, grammar and fluency. I can use Jyutping or Yale romanization system if you like.
Sometimes I like my students to write a story in Cantonese. They can use new vocab and sentence structures. You will see how much you have improved when your stories become longer and more complicated over time.
Good luck on your journey.

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!
