8 years of teaching experience/structured classes/materials provided Hi, I’m Chiu! Based in Guangdong, I am a professional Mandarin and Cantonese teacher with 8 years of experience and a major in Chinese Literature. I have helped students of various age groups and countries learn the languages. With thousands of teaching hours, I'm sure I will be able to help you find the best way to learn. Beginners: Master Pinyin, tones, and daily essentials. Advanced: Refine grammar and build native-level speaking confidence. Short-term: Learn "Survival Chinese" for trips or business. Unsure? I’ll assess your level and build a custom roadmap for you. I can speak English fluently, so English will be our medium language during the course if necessary. Please leave me a message about what you wish to learn and for how long you have been learning before the class begins. *Rescheduling & Cancellation Policy 24-Hour Notice: Required to reschedule or cancel. No refunds/changes within 24 hours. Please avoid rescheduling lessons more than twice, as it impacts other students' bookings.

I've been taking Cantonese lessons with Chill, on average once every 1-2 weeks for two years, and have gone from novice to being able to carry on conversations about daily life, all thanks to Chill! She is very friendly, organized, and tailors the lesson and materials to your interests and background. We worked our way through one textbook, it took about a year to learn commonly used vocabulary, and now we're working our way through a second textbook with a focus on more advanced grammar. Along the way, Chill has supplemented and reinforced the textbook lessons with lots of additional vocabulary, colloquialisms, and current events topics. I am really happy with my progress, Chill makes learning Cantonese super fun and relatively easy. I look forward to my lessons, the hour just flies by! It also helps to practice speaking at home and review flashcards regularly, but the bestestest help has been the one-on-one tutoring with Chill :)

Me and Chill 老师 have found the perfect learning technique for me. The first half of the lesson we chat, talk and catch up about our week. We talk about video’s I’ve watched and Chinese tv shows. I provide screenshots of subtitles of grammar structures/ characters I’m not familiar with and Chill will translate and give other example sentences of how to use the specific character. My listening and conversational Mandarin has improved drastically. I find I can eavesdrop on Chinese conversations outdoors now and understand the majority! Second half of the lesson we open the HSK books and go through the lessons in there. It keeps up with my reading and every HSK lesson we learn a new grammar structure. I’ve even tried a couple other Mandarin teachers on italki but for me Chill 老师 is the best. I’m so grateful I found Chill at the start of my Mandarin journey. Thank you Chill for your patience and kindness towards your teaching! Let’s keep going! 🇨🇳
