Ms Yuen

This was a trial lesson with Ms Yuen. It was great! She is an engaging teacher and spent time to understand my goals and provide excellent feedback

It's great to have class with Carine again! In today's lesson I was able to use a lot of Cantonese to express ideas. I really love the way you give supportive feedback to the student expressions and ideas in the target language. The suggested vocabulary was very helpful and offered very naturally without breaking the student's flow of thought. I thought the mp3 listening material was just at the level that I need. After listening to the mp3, I was able to read the traditional text as I remembered the material. This is a great way to practice the vocabulary in a reading format and was a great boost to my reading confidence of traditional Chinese. I think you have some great material for our next class!

Ms Yuen gave a very thorough picture of our study plan. She is very accomodating to all levels of language proficiency and I felt comfortable with her even though I was a bit nervous about my language proficiency at first. I fully recommend anyone wanting to learn Cantonese to book a lesson with Ms Yuen.

In my trial lesson, I found Ms. Yuen to be a true professional. She was warm, welcoming, and I could tell she is very experienced and accustomed to listening to the goals of her students and pinpointing what their needs are. She asked about my preferences for learning styles. To further give me an idea of what I would be studying to make me feel at ease, she gave me some sample textbooks to look at (because I said I like books for my learning style). I initially chose a trial lesson with Ms. Yuen because I was looking for someone who was extremely well-versed in the language. Although I can speak fluently, I am not very literate at all. Her credentials and experience certainly shone through in the trial lesson. I am looking forward to continuing my studies with Ms. Yuen and type a review in Chinese one day!

It was a very nice first contact! I appreciated the time spent to know my level and understand my needs. I am looking for an organised teacher and Ms Yuen seems to be which is very important to me. I appreciated the fact that she told me from the start that we would also touch on different cultural aspects and that we would work on refreshing my memory. Thank you very much for today. Looking forward to the next lesson!

She is a very dedicated and kind teacher. I am looking forward to my next class.
