在人來人往的日常中, 因為緣份,
我們才得以即使相隔千里,卻仍能相聚。 (網聚)
可以在人海裡擦身而過。成為彼此生命裡的過客,
每一位於我而言都是份得來不易的榮幸。
廣東話對我嚟講係一種連繫。

Me as a Teacher
I am a friendly, outgoing person who is passionate about teaching languages. I always enjoy people calling me Gary instead of a teacher, I could be your HK friend who accompanies you along the journey of learning a language.
I believe that the process of learning and teaching languages provides opportunities for the exchange of new ideas and cultures. That's why I am very excited and happy to introduce you to the culture of Hong Kong culture to help you keep up your motivation.
It would be my pleasure to accompany you on your language learning journey, to achieve the goals together!
人生匆匆, 我很珍惜每一次邂逅,每一次相遇。
讓我們一杯茶, 一盞燈, 共度一個短暫的旅程。
感激於短短幾個月內伴我走過這過千趟旅程的每一位同伴。
千趟旅程,千般體驗感覺在心頭。
我們課堂上見! 等你!

I am an advanced Cantonese speaker who has been learning from Gary for close to a year now, and give him my highest recommendation. He is a kind, humorous, patient and passionate teacher whose deep knowledge and love of Cantonese shows through in every lesson. Gary not only raises my language abilities but gives me a better understanding of Hong Kong culture and politics. We have studied a variety of readings, from news articles to literary short stories to social media posts, and Gary is always able to give helpful context for each reading. Sometimes when there is some extra time at the end of a lesson, Gary will show me some Cantonese music videos, which has been a great touch. I feel lucky to have found Gary as a teacher and hope to be able to keep learning from him for a long time.

Gary is an awesome teacher!! I have been working with Gary for several months, and he has helped me progressed from zero Cantonese ability to being able to hold basic conversations about daily life. Each lesson is individualized based on the progress that I am making and what my goals in speaking Cantonese are. On top of that, Gary puts a lot of work into his lessons and materials. For example, although he mostly uses Yale romanization with his other students, he teaches me new vocabulary using Jyutping since that was my preference. After every lesson, he sends me a list with all new vocabulary words so I can review before the next lesson. I was also able to learn about Hong Kong culture with Gary through music videos and by talking about Cantonese slang. Taking lessons with Gary is like speaking with a friend, and I can tell he is committed to helping students reach their goals in both Mandarin and Cantonese.

Gary is a talented boy who adopts effective, comprehensive as well as enjoyable teaching method. During his lesson, not only carefully prepared PPT and fully materials of rich content can be expected, but also a lovely Cantonese music following the 55-min lesson which feigns my interest in learning Cantonese.
Personally, I am also a picky student at choosing teachers on italki. If I did not enjoy the lesson or somewhat was not really into the teaching method, the second lesson will never be booked. However, Gary is pretty a nice teacher! I do recommend him to everyone who has already a strong determination in learning Cantonese or just flashes this idea into your mind, Gary くん will definitely be the one for you!
