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.
