Annie R
I would highly recommend Annie as a cantonese tutor. The lessons are well planned and really well structured. She always goes at my pace and checks understanding before we move to another topic. The lessons always centre around topics relevant to me and what I need to learn. She’s also a lovely tutor.

Eva W
Eva is an amazing tutor. I would not hesitate to recommend her. She is very knowledgeable, punctual, friendly and informative. It is apparent from the first lesson that the effort she puts in to teaching, creating lessons and homework is second to non. Eva is always happy to help to break down things you may need a little more help with and is always willing to helpfully and thoroughly answer any questions you may have. I feel like I made so much more progress in a short space of time through weekly lessons with Eva - than I ever did in the years of self teaching previous to finding Eva through Tutorful. Highly recommend.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
What happens if I don't like my first Cantonese lesson?
Your peace of mind is our priority. With our First Lesson Guarantee, if you're not completely satisfied with your initial lesson for any reason, we will find you another tutor for free. We're committed to helping you find the perfect match.
How much do online Cantonese lessons cost?
The price of Cantonese lessons varies depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Our tutors set their own rates, so you can browse different profiles to find an expert who fits your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile.
Do I need any special equipment for online Cantonese lessons?
No, you don't need any special equipment! All you need is a computer or tablet with a stable internet connection, a webcam, and a microphone. Our platform has a built-in video classroom, so you won't need to download any extra software.
I'm a complete beginner. Can I still learn Cantonese?
Absolutely! Our tutors love working with beginners. They are experts at building a strong foundation from scratch, starting with the absolute basics of pronunciation, tones, and simple phrases. They create a supportive, encouraging environment for you to start your language journey.
How will a tutor specifically help me with Cantonese tones?
This is where a tutor is invaluable. They provide real-time, personalised feedback on your pronunciation, something an app can't do. They use techniques like listening exercises, repetition, and visual aids to help you hear and replicate the six different tones accurately, building your muscle memory and confidence.
How long does it take to learn Cantonese?
The time it takes to learn Cantonese varies greatly from person to person, depending on your background, goals, and the amount of time you can dedicate to practice. Your tutor will help you set realistic goals and create a plan to help you achieve them efficiently.
Are online Cantonese lessons as effective as in-person lessons?
Yes, many students find them even more effective! Online lessons offer greater flexibility, access to a wider pool of expert tutors, and interactive tools like digital whiteboards and screen sharing. You get the same dedicated, one-to-one attention in a convenient format.
How do I find the right Cantonese tutor for me?
You can use our search filters to narrow down tutors by price, availability, and experience. Watch their introductory videos, read reviews from other students, and send them a message to discuss your learning goals before booking. Finding the right personality match is key!
Can I learn to read and write Chinese characters with a tutor?
Of course. While many learners focus on spoken Cantonese, our tutors are also equipped to teach you how to read and write Traditional Chinese characters. Just let your tutor know this is one of your goals, and they will incorporate it into your lessons.
What is the difference between learning Cantonese and Mandarin?
While they share a writing system, Cantonese and Mandarin are mutually unintelligible when spoken. Cantonese has more tones (six to nine, depending on how you count) and different vocabulary and grammar. Your tutor can explain the key distinctions and help you focus on mastering Cantonese.
Can I get help with Cantonese for business or travel?
Yes. One of the biggest benefits of a private tutor is that lessons can be tailored to your specific needs. Whether you need to learn business etiquette for a meeting in Hong Kong or essential phrases for ordering food and asking for directions, your tutor can create a custom curriculum for you.
Have a great first lesson.
Guaranteed.
If things aren’t right with your first lesson just let us know. We’ll pay for
your next lesson with a new tutor – and even help you find them.
