Iris

As a dedicated teacher and passionate writer, I am a native speaker of Mandarin (First Class, Grade B – Certificate of Proficiency in Putonghua) and fluent in both Cantonese and English. With over six years of experience teaching Mandarin in Hong Kong and the UK, I am certified by the Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment Authority for the Language Proficiency Assessment for Teachers in Putonghua (Mandarin).

In my free time, I enjoy playing classical guitar, practicing Chinese calligraphy, and exploring the world of Chinese tea. As a certified Senior Chinese Tea Taster and Tea Master, I have a deep appreciation for the art and tradition of tea. If you share a passion for Chinese culture, we’ll have plenty of fascinating topics to explore together.

Tutoring Approach

I'm here to help you reach your Chinese language goals—whether you're aiming to ace exams, improve your conversational skills, master grammar and pronunciation, or earn certifications. Every lesson is fully customised to your needs and taught one-on-one, ensuring you learn at your own pace and get the most out of each session.
Before each lesson, I carefully prepare materials and exercises tailored to your level and goals. If you're studying for an exam, we'll focus on test strategies and targeted practice. If your priority is conversation, I’ll create engaging dialogues and real-life scenarios to build fluency. If you want to learn writing, I’ll make it an enjoyable and rewarding journey, drawing on my experience and passion as a writer.
Outside of class, I’m happy to answer any questions you have about Chinese—just send me a message, and I’ll get back to you promptly.
