Hello, everyone! I'm Sally. Nice to meet you :) I'm a qualified CELTA (Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) teacher (obtained in 2018).I studied in Japan and worked full-time (as a teacher) and part-time jobs in Tokyo, Japan. I’ve taught English in five Japanese public junior high schools for 3 years and tutored private students in Japan before moving to the U.K..I was a part-time tutor in a secondary school in Hong Kong. With nearly 8 years of teaching experience, I understand the challenges that second language learners encounter when learning a new language. Until n...
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.

Brilliant Cantonese tutors who you’ll really click with.
Our experienced tutors take the time to understand where each student needs to focus and their preferred way of learning. They make a measurable difference – 90% of all students improve by at least one grade.
We're a newly arrived family. Can a tutor help my child maintain their language skills while they settle into life in Hackney?
Absolutely. This is a very common reason parents come to us. A tutor provides a consistent, friendly space for your child to practise speaking Cantonese, ensuring their skills are nurtured even as they immerse themselves in an English-speaking school environment. It can be a huge comfort during a time of big change.
My child attends a local school in Hackney. Can a tutor help them feel more confident speaking Cantonese with family?
Yes, completely. Our tutors are brilliant at building confidence. They create fun, low-pressure lessons focused on conversation, helping your child feel more comfortable and ready to chat with grandparents and other relatives, strengthening those vital family bonds.
How do I choose the right Cantonese tutor for my child?
It’s all about finding the right personality. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to get a feel for their teaching style. Finding someone your child genuinely gets on with is the key to making learning feel like fun.
What if my child doesn't click with their first Cantonese tutor?
We know that personal connection is everything. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How do the online lessons work?
It's really simple! All lessons happen in our online classroom, which has a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.
How much does online Cantonese tutoring cost in Hackney?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or extra costs.
Are the tutors qualified to teach Cantonese?
Yes. Our tutors come from a wide range of backgrounds, including native speakers, experienced teachers, and language experts. We personally interview every tutor and only accept 1 in 8 who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best.
Is my child safe learning online with Tutorful?
Your child's safety is our absolute priority. Every tutor on the platform has been through a rigorous selection process, including an identity check and a background check. All lessons are also recorded, giving you complete peace of mind.
How long is a typical lesson and how often should we have one?
Most parents find that a one-hour lesson once a week works perfectly. It provides consistency without feeling overwhelming. However, you're completely free to arrange a schedule that works for your family with your chosen tutor.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
The best sign of progress will be hearing your child speak Cantonese more confidently at home! Your tutor will also provide regular feedback on how they're getting on and what they're covering in their sessions.
Can tutoring help my child feel more connected to their culture?
It really can. A great tutor does more than teach grammar; they share stories, discuss traditions, and make learning the language relevant to your child's heritage. This can be a wonderful way to help them feel a stronger sense of identity and pride.
Are the tutors qualified to teach Cantonese?
We can help with a huge range of subjects! From core academic support in Maths, English, and Science for GCSEs and A-Levels, to hobbies and skills like learning guitar, coding, or even preparing for the 11+. We're here to support all of your child's learning goals.
