Kennis (Tutor)

 Cantonese (primary, adult-learner)

 Mandarin (primary, adult-learner)

I've graduated with a Master's degree in Language Learning and Education at the University of York. I can speak fluent English, Mandarin, and Cantonese. I love languages and I enjoy communicating with people from different cultural backgrounds.
I particularly wish to highlight my ability and enthusiasm in language learning. I used to work as an interpreter in two sessions of International Education Exhibition while I was studying my BA in China. I also interpreted for lan Original Printmaking Base in Shenzhen, China.
I am also passionate about teaching, so I came to the UK and pursue a MA degree in Language Learning and Education at the University of York. I took part in the York Student in School program, and volunteered as a student tutor at Lakeside Primary School, York.
I strongly believe that my perpetually positive attitude, excellent communication skills and valuable background as native Chinese speaker will allow me to be a competent Mandarin/Cantonese tutor.

I shall tailor the teaching materials according to the needs of different individuals.
Using a combination of teaching techniques and teaching aids.
Creating after-class homework accordingly.
