About Me

I specialize in teaching Cantonese & Chinese with a structured curriculum and personalized guidance, helping students progress from beginner to advanced levels with confidence.

🔹 Chinese Literacy :🎴 Step-by-step learning: Start with radicals, then move on to the 250 and 500 most commonly used characters, eventually building up to 8,000 vocabulary words in both Jyutping and Pinyin. Free online books available to suit your level.

🔹 Beginner Course (A1-A2): Focuses on pronunciation, essential vocabulary, grammar, and daily conversations. The lessons are 30% theory and 70% immersive practice, using repetition drills to build speaking fluency.

🔹 Intermediate Course (A2-B2): Emphasizes listening and vocabulary expansion. Students improve comprehension through dialogues, storytelling, and core word lists. Topics include daily life, business communication, culture, and current events. Mistakes are analyzed to ensure steady progress.

///////////////////////////🥇 Proven methodology//////////////////////////
✔️ Personalized Learning – Lessons are tailored to individual needs, with materials from Hong Kong, Taiwan, or China.
✔️ Structured Approach – A well-planned learning system with built-in review strategies ensures consistent progress.
✔️ Practical Application – The course incorporates real-life material such as role-playing dialogues in settings such as restaurants and boutiques.
✔️ Tech-Supported Learning – Digital tools, including a dictionary, pronunciation guides, stroke order animations, and vocabulary builders, enhance retention.

//////////////////////////////// Teaching Profile ///////////////////////////
I have been teaching beginner and intermediate students for over a decade, helping many progress from A1 to B2. I created course and materials that suit the real need. I hold a master degree in teaching. As the Founder of Cantonesehome & Chinese-tutor.online, I make learning fun, practical, and achievable through structured lessons, interactive practice, and goal-oriented methods for real-life communication. Now I live in France alps and write learning materials for Cantonese and Mandarin learners, I understand language-learning struggles and provide practical strategies. I use IB, ACTFL, CEFR, and HSK frameworks to guide clear learning paths and measurable progress.

Our method includes a suitable book, audio, ample resources, and online applications. Pre-class preparation and in-class oral practice ensure effective learning. Post-class practice consolidates skills.

Canadian student E - Chinese (Chinese Literacy) - 39 lessons
I found Ms. Yuen to be a true professional. She was warm, welcoming, and I could tell she is very experienced and accustomed to listening to the goals of her students and pinpointing what their needs are. She asked about my preferences for learning styles. To further give me an idea of what I would be studying to make me feel at ease, she gave me some sample textbooks to look at (because I said I like books for my learning style). I initially chose a trial lesson with Ms. Yuen because I was looking for someone who was extremely well-versed in the language. Although I can speak fluently, I am not very literate at all. Her credentials and experience certainly shone through in the trial lesson. I am looking forward to continuing my studies with Ms. Yuen and type a review in Chinese one day!

Feedback : Good luck with her learning, and with her teaching her children. She has come a long way—from recognizing just a few characters to being able to write Chinese short passages on a computer. With the right guidance, she has continued to learn and improve steadily

It's great to have class with Carine again! In today's lesson I was able to use a lot of Cantonese to express ideas. I really love the way you give supportive feedback to the student expressions and ideas in the target language. The suggested vocabulary was very helpful and offered very naturally without breaking the student's flow of thought. I thought the mp3 listening material was just at the level that I need. After listening to the mp3, I was able to read the traditional text as I remembered the material. This is a great way to practice the vocabulary in a reading format and was a great boost to my reading confidence of traditional Chinese. I think you have some great material for our next class!

Finland student (Cantonese Beginner)
Ms Yuen gave a very thorough picture of our study plan. She is very accomodating to all levels of language proficiency and I felt comfortable with her even though I was a bit nervous about my language proficiency at first. I fully recommend anyone wanting to learn Cantonese to book a lesson with Ms Yuen.

My trial lessons

Thank you for your trust and interest in learning Cantonese with me! The first trial will be a short session. It would be helpful if you could let me know your current level in Cantonese and Mandarin, and whether you have used any books or materials before. That way, I can give you a better idea of how the course can be tailored for you.

Looking forward to meeting you soon!
