About Janet
Hi! I'm Janet, and I grew up in Hong Kong speaking Cantonese. Mandarin became my second language through school and daily life, so I understand both the challenges and the excitement of learning a new language from personal experience.
As my interest in Mandarin grew, I found myself becoming just as interested in how people learn languages. I was always curious about how to express ideas more naturally, how native speakers would say the same thing, and what makes a conversation sound truly authentic. That curiosity eventually inspired me to become a language teacher.
Today, I teach both Mandarin and Cantonese because I genuinely enjoy helping people connect with others through language. Whether your goal is travelling, communicating with family, advancing your career, or simply learning for the joy of it, I'd love to be part of your journey.
I believe the best language learning happens when students feel supported, stay curious, and aren't afraid of making mistakes. My goal isn't simply to teach vocabulary or grammar, but to help students build the confidence to communicate in real-life situations.
One of my favourite moments as a teacher is seeing students use the language outside the classroom—whether it's ordering a coffee, chatting with family, travelling independently, or suddenly realising they can understand a conversation that once seemed impossible.

My priority is helping students build the confidence to communicate in Mandarin or Cantonese from their very first lesson.
Before we begin, we'll talk about your goals, interests and learning style so that every lesson is personalised to suit your needs. Whether you're learning for travel, work, family, heritage, exams, or simply for the enjoyment of learning a new language, lessons are designed around what matters most to you.
Lessons may include:
Speaking confidence and real-life conversations
Everyday communication
Travel Chinese or Cantonese
Heritage language learning
Business communication
Pronunciation and tones
HSK preparation (if required)
Reading and writing (optional)
For younger learners, lessons are engaging, interactive and age-appropriate, helping them develop confidence naturally through communication rather than memorisation.
Above all, I want lessons to feel encouraging, enjoyable and practical. I believe every learner progresses at their own pace, and every small step forward is worth celebrating.
Learning with me means...
Lessons tailored to your personal goals
Practical communication from your very first lesson
A friendly, supportive and encouraging learning environment
Building confidence step by step
Celebrating progress, not perfection

She is always professional, well-prepared, and thorough, constantly pushing me to improve. I’ve really benefited from her deep understanding of Mandarin, including regional and colloquial variations.

Highly recommended!

Janet is a creative, organised and adaptive teacher. She makes learning Mandarin very fun and I always look forward to out lessons.
Janet is an amazing Chinese tutor for kids. She has a very special way of teaching that keeps children engaged and actually helps them understand quickly. My son enjoys her classes and has improved a lot in both confidence and speaking.
She knows how to teach efficiently without wasting time, and her methods really connect with children’s way of thinking. It feels like she understands exactly how to enter a child’s brain and make learning natural and fun.
Highly recommended for any parent looking for a professional, patient, and skilled Mandarin tutor.We met Janet when she was teaching Cantonese for a not-so-great Language School in the city. When she decided to leave to teach privately we were more than happy to follow, as she is a great teacher, very organised and dedicated, expecting results yet also adaptable to the student's interest and progress - fun, kind but also serious about her vocation. She teaches both Mandarin and Cantonese, and is always considering ways to use diverse materials in her teaching. Highly recommend!
We are extremely grateful to have Janet as our children’s Chinese tutor. She consistently goes above and beyond, not only teaching the language but also making every lesson engaging, enjoyable, and meaningful.
Janet’s patience, care, and genuine commitment to our kids’ progress truly stand out. She takes the time to understand each child’s learning style and always puts in extra effort to ensure they feel confident and supported.
It’s rare to find someone who is this passionate and invested. We’ve seen a noticeable improvement in both their skills and enthusiasm for learning Chinese. Highly recommended to any family looking for a tutor who truly cares.I’ve been studying Mandarin with Janet for the last nine months and it is the best language learning experience I have ever had! Janet is very kind and understanding, but she is also highly professional and is greatly involved in every lesson and learning process in general. She provides personalised lessons based on your level, preferences, skills and interests. Janet is not only teaching the language, but she has also introduced me to Chinese culture, different dialects, pronunciations, history of the language and many more. She is a great teacher if you want to study for official language tests, but is also amazing if you want to learn how to speak colloquially, like a native and feet into the mandarin speaking community. She is a versatile professional who can adjust her techniques based on your goals and interests. Highly recommend!
Janet is an exceptional teacher who goes above and beyond in her approach to instruction. She tailors her teaching to meet each student’s individual needs, carefully identifying areas where improvement is needed and addressing them directly. Janet’s classes are not only informative but also engaging—she has a unique ability to make learning fun and keep her students interested and focused.
One of her standout qualities is the personalized feedback she provides. After every class, she highlights key takeaways and offers specific advice on how students can work on their weaknesses outside of class. She also shares great resources, including website links and materials, that empower students to continue their learning independently.
Overall, Janet fosters a positive, motivating learning environment where students feel both challenged and supported. If you're looking for a teacher who genuinely cares about your progress and makes the learning experience enjoyable, Janet is an excellent choice.
Thank you Janet for always providing an amazing Chinese lesson!Teacher Janet is always nice and patient. I have a group class with her for Chinese and I really love her teaching methods. Janet helps me improve my Chinese speaking, reading, writing and listening skills. Without her, I would not passed my HSK exam with flying colors

As a beginner, her guidance has been invaluable. Whether you’re just starting out or need some extra help along the way, Janet is the perfect teacher for your musical journey.

I never thought at this tender age of 34 I will have the urge to learn how to play piano and thought it was too late for me to learn. But thanks to Janet's effortlessly teaching style and guidance I'm able to grasps the basic learning of playing the piano. She's very patient with the teaching and the lessons doesn't feel rushed. She's also teaching Mandarin and Cantonese beside her piano lesson. I highly recommend her.
Janet is a friend of a friend who was reccomended to me when I expressed wanting to learn Mandarin. The way she teaches is easy to understand. She's patient and helpful when explaining things I didn't grasp yet. My Mandarin is improving bit by bit with every session with her. Very reccomended!
Janet is a very patient instructor, and I am confident I will soon achieve my piano goals with her guidance. She was introduced to me by a mutual friend, and we've been having wonderful times in front of the piano. I would strongly recommend Janet because she clearly has a passion for music and a strong desire to teach.
Janet is an amazing tutor, she is very patient and helped me to get started with my piano classes. I was a complete beginner, and now I know the basics. Highly recommended.
