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

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'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!

always a great lesson with Ms Yuen...

This was first meeting. More an introduction than an actual lesson. It helped me to see what kind of teacher she would be and what kind of student I would be. Namely, her teaching methods and manner, and my learning style and level. For me, conversational lessons are not so effective, but Ms Yuen uses a structured, coursework approach. Based on our meeting I will book a few more levels and see how it goes.

Thank you Ms. Yuen for the intro lesson and providing many resources for learning. I immediately felt comfortable to your organization and knowledge. Thank you.
