Qualified Bilingual UK English Teacher (PGCE) | 4 Years Classroom Experience | GCSE and EAL Specialist

I had the pleasure of working with Carren and have always found her to be a dedicated and highly knowledgeable English teacher. She has experience teaching both GCSE English Language and English Literature and has a strong understanding of the relevant specifications and mark schemes.

One of her key strengths is her ability to put the needs of her learners at the centre of her teaching. She consistently considers the individual needs and abilities of her students and works hard to ensure that learning is accessible and engaging for everyone. She has a particular talent for breaking down complex concepts and providing clear guidance that enables students to develop confidence and make progress.

Carren explains things clearly and patiently, in a way that's easy to follow. She teaches Cantonese in context, so you learn the culture and background behind the language beyond just vocab, which makes it much easier to understand, remember and connect with. I'd recommend her to anyone who values understanding the language and culture at depth.

Carren has been my Cantonese tutor for a few months now, she’s a kind and patient tutor that makes every lesson engaging and fun.

She’s identified what has been working well for me and has been tailoring our lessons to ensure I get the most out of them. I look forward to our lessons as she also includes lots of facts around the topics we are learning to keep it interesting rather than just rope learning words and phrases.

I would highly recommend her as a tutor or speaking partner

Carren is such a brilliant Cantonese teacher! She’s so patient and kind, even when I mix up my tones (which happens a lot!). What I love most is that she tailors every lesson to what I’m actually interested in, so it never feels like a boring textbook slog. If you’re thinking about learning Cantonese, Carren will make you feel comfortable and confident from lesson one. Can’t recommend her enough!
