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

We live in Oxford and just want our child to be able to speak with family in Hong Kong. Can a tutor focus on this?

Absolutely. This is a very common goal and our tutors are brilliant at helping with it. You can find a tutor who specialises in conversational Cantonese to help your child practise speaking and listening, so they feel confident and ready for those important family chats.

My child is focused on getting into a top university like Oxford. How can Cantonese tutoring help?

Maintaining fluency in a second language is a huge advantage on a university application. It demonstrates dedication, cognitive flexibility, and a global mindset, which are all qualities that prestigious universities look for in candidates. It can be a fantastic addition to their personal statement.

How do I choose the right Cantonese tutor for my child?

It's all about finding the right personality fit. You can read detailed profiles, watch introductory videos, and check ratings from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to explain your goals before booking to make sure you find the perfect match for your child.

What if my child doesn't click with their first Cantonese tutor?

We want to make sure you find the perfect match. That's why we have a First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.

How much does online Cantonese tutoring cost in Oxford?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can easily filter tutors by price to find an option that fits your family's budget. All pricing is shown clearly on each tutor's profile with no hidden costs.

Are all the tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed an ID check and has an up-to-date DBS background check. We are very selective, only accepting 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.

How can tutoring help my child feel more confident?

One-to-one attention from an expert can do wonders for a child's confidence. In a private lesson, they have a safe space to ask questions and practise without any fear of making mistakes in front of a class. This supportive environment helps them build skills and self-belief.

How do online lessons work?

Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. It's designed to be simple and engaging, making learning from home easy and effective.

Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something else, like coding or playing the guitar?

We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we cover all core academic subjects, we also have brilliant tutors who can teach hobbies and life skills, from learning an instrument like the guitar to practical skills like coding.

How often should my child have a lesson?

Most families find that a one-hour lesson once a week is a great starting point. This provides consistency without being overwhelming. However, it's completely flexible and you can arrange a schedule that works best for your child with your chosen tutor.

How can I be sure the tutors are high quality?

We pride ourselves on the quality of our tutors. You can see detailed reviews and ratings from thousands of other parents on each tutor's profile. We're proud to have a 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 customer reviews.

How can tutoring help my child feel more confident?

It's very simple. All your child needs is a laptop or computer, a stable internet connection, and a microphone and webcam. Our online classroom is browser-based, so there's no need to download any complicated software.
