Sook Fun

I am a native Chinese speaker (fluent in Mandarin and Cantonese) with good command of English. I teach adult learners in both, Chinese language and Chinese calligraphy. I am also experienced in helping students to prepare for HSK exams. My love of learning and sharing my knowledge/skills with people has led to having a career in private tutoring, teaching and corporate training. I am committed to using my teaching and coaching skills to provide good quality, interactive and interesting learning experiences.

Availability: Whether you are a beginner or ready to take your Chinese to the next level, I will work with you to make it happen. Learning Chinese becomes meaningful and fun when it is according to your own pace and achieve the desired outcome.

I am available for Group Lessons as well. Learning in a group can be fun and exciting. You will be able to support each other throughout the learning journey and practice whenever you get together. If you are organising with your friends or colleagues, we can discuss a bespoke plan and course fee to suit the group needs.
