Angela Zyu : Chinese Cantonese

大家好!

I am a Mandarin/Cantonese/English teacher here. My name is Angela and I come from Guangzhou, China. My mother tongues are Mandarin and Cantonese. I have a bachelor degree in Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language and I have learned English for more than 10 years, so I am fluent in English as well.

I started teaching in 2014, so I have more than 2 years teaching experience. At first, I taught English and Chinese subjects for Chinese students who were aged from 7-14 years old. Then in 2016, I started teaching Mandarin/Cantonese online for foreign learners between 4-60 years old. Now, I am teaching Mandarin for kindergartens kids who age from 2-6 years old. I always have great fun with them!

I enjoy teaching and talking with others because we can share our cultures and traditions with each other.

Please feel free to book a lesson with me! I look forward to talking with you！
