Hello, I'm Yi Kuan, a native Chinese and Cantonese speaker with Malay proficiency. With 7+ years of teaching experience and a TEFL certification, I specialize in practical conversational skills through engaging lessons. Passionate about languages and culture, I integrate personal interests like travel and art into teaching. I'm excited to share the joy of language learning with you!Me as a Teacher
I like to think my students feel completely comfortable to be themselves and make mistakes in my class! Mistakes are important for improvement, so the more the better! Think of me as your language exchange partner! You will have fun learning language with me without the stress of exams or repetitive grammar exercises. I am open to your feedback and your input into the lessons as I truly want to create an experience that works for you! So, if you know what you want don't be afraid to tell me.

I do recommend that you take a trial lesson. I will always make contact with you via message before our first meeting to allow me to prepare a little for our first class. We will then have a chat so I can see what your general level is and find possible topics of interest so we can adjust the class to fit you.
The class is all about conversation and getting you used to speaking. Even if you don't think you can say that much, don't worry because you will improve each time! After each class students are provided with notes of key vocabulary and resources used during class.

The task today was to read a question in Malay and then give the answer. A good exercise for practising words I know and learning new ones and improving comprehension and sentence structure.

Super interesting topic in Cantonese class today pertaining to work life, travel, and friendships. Teacher Yi Kuan guides the lesson to touch on subjects relevant to my life and therefore vocabulary I would actually use every day. Class with Teacher Yi Kuan continues to increase my confidence in using the language as I was able to successfully converse with a shopkeeper in Cantonese today without feeling nervous, and I felt that I did not need to think too much before the right words came to mind. Thank you!

Learned holiday expressions. Teacher Yi Kuan teaches Cantonese while providing cultural insight. She was a huge help with teaching me expressions to use at my sister’s Chinese Tea ceremony, which I was able to share with my family members. She really goes above and beyond to support my learning.

We did a game where I had to guess the object she was describing. Very helpful exercise.

After an enforced break for a few months it was great to be back. As always Yi Kuan was patient and helpful and it was great to catch up and ease myself back into the routine of learning Malay.
