Certified Chinese Teacher helping students break the language barrier and gain confidence Hello, I am Helena. 大家好,我是Helena。 I am a native speaker of both Mandarin Chinese and Cantonese. I speak English fluently. 我的母语是中文和粤话。我英语说得很流利。 ☆ Currently I am pursuing my master degree at the University of Macau. 目前我正在澳门大学攻读硕士学位。 ☆ I can teach all levels of Mandarin Chinese and Cantonese and beginner or intermediate level of English. 我能够教各种水平程度的普通话/粤语,以及初、中级的英语。 ☆ I have also worked professionally as a language (English and Chinese) teacher at a college in China for over 6 years. ☆I have : Certificate of Mandarin Proficiency Test (A-Level) ; Certified TEFL & TESOL Certificates; TEM8 英语专业8级证书 China Middle school & College Teacher Qualification Certificates教师资格证 ☆ I have been helping my students learn Chinese and English for years. ☆ English is a non-tonal language. Thus, it sounds very different from tone languages such as Mandarin Chinese or Cantonese. In tone languages, pitch (the degree of highness or lowness of a tone) is used to distinguish word meaning. So a word said with high pitch may have a different meaning than the same word said with a low pitch. ☆ In English, much information is carried by the use of auxiliaries and by verb inflections: is/are/were, eat/eats/ate/eaten, etc. Chinese, on the other hand, is an uninflected language and conveys meaning through word order, adverbials or shared understanding of the context. ☆ My teaching style focuses on the individual student and assesses their ability.All my classes are tailored to your level. ☆ Our first les...

very much enjoying my one on one tutoring with Helena, learning alot and even after class with her she sends me notes. which I use until my next class with her, a constant stream of information that she explains very clearly so you can understand. each lesson I learn more. I'm excited to keep learning. I highly recommend. it's structured but flexible and feels natural .

Helena has been an amazing teacher. I was looking for 5-6 days of Cantonese lessons specifically to prepare to talk to students and parents at school. Helena introduced fundamentals of Cantonese speech and grammar along with relevant vocabulary specific to what I needed. She spoke at a good pace and we practised conversation skills using the previous lesson's material. Each lesson was a balance between learning a few new concepts, repeated reading practice, reading dialogue and quizzes. Helena was able to adapt to my learning style and speed with each lesson. I felt I have learned months of Cantonese in only a week, with all the material chosen being relevant and immediately useful.

Lesson was so much fun!! Helena crafted the lesson specifically for me and my current situation. I could tell she prepared the materials very well! I also appreciated her teaching me slang, or common/formal ways of speaking, and breaking down each sentence or word and what they mean when you string them together. We also continuously worked on pronunciation and sounding more fluid, which I want to get better at. I'm looking forward to the next lesson! It's never a boring time :)
