      high efficient Chinese tutor-help you Speak Chinese in 3 months — Want to speak Chinese or Cantonese fluently in just few months? I can help you to achieve that goal! One of my students can speak daily conversation, like occupation, hobby, plans, etc, in just one month! (Well, he is also very working hard:D. He learns 3-4hour/week, for your information. )

      Why choose Bonnie l.

      "Bonnie has been helping our son learn Cantonese here in Australia. He is 10yo and started from scratch and so far after a couple months has still really enjoyed his weekly sessions with her and seems to have learnt quite a bit more and has stayed interested in learning. I’m so glad we found Preply and Bonnie as this is a way better option for us than trying to find a weekend Chinese school which I think he’d dislike. Excited how he will progress over the next 3-6 months"

      🔹Teaching Chinese Since 2013 🔹Mandarin & Cantonese Fluency Specialist 🔹Multilingual Parenting Educator & Practitioner 🔹Sino-Spanish Business Owner — Hi! I’m Miki, an experienced tutor with 8️⃣ years of teaching Mandarin and Cantonese. I specialize in helping you efficiently and naturally integrate Chinese into your daily life through immersive and interactive methods 🚀
      Originally from Canton, China, I now live in the Canary Islands, Spain.

      Why choose Miki C.

      "Miki is an exceptional teacher. I have several Chinese coworkers and initially signed up for lessons hoping that I could learn a little bit of the language and relate to my coworkers more easily, and didn't think I would develop much fluency. Just a few months later, Miki and I are spending part of the lesson speaking in only Chinese! Miki's English is also excellent, so she is able to figure out when an English-speaking student is making a mistake in Chinese that comes from commonly-used English syntax. She breaks down words and phrases into smaller parts that are easy to remember (and often are funny mnemonics). She even spends time after lessons and records vocabulary and dialogue from the lesson for practice later. I take the audio recordings and break them down into audio flashcards, which are SO helpful for practicing listening. I really can't recommend Miki enough. If you have trouble seeing yourself achieve fluency, she's a perfect match for you."
