Fun conversation lessons- English or Chinese (Mandarin / Cantonese)
Hello! My name is Mary and I'm from Singapore. I love traveling, meeting people and learning languages. I'm a polyglot, that means I'm interested in languages and can use quite a few of them fluently: English, Mandarin, Cantonese, Japanese, etc.
My background
I've been living and teaching in Japan for over 20 years. I've taught at schools and universities, large corporations (JR East), government Ministries (MOE),and even the military (JIETAI).
During my time here, I've taught English (still teaching) to people from all walks of life: school students, teachers, home-makers, retirees, technicians, designers, company executives, physicians, lawyers, police officers and military personnel, etc. I've taught conversational Mandarin & Cantonese too, to students of all ages, both in person and online.
My focus and belief
I'm friendly, fun and energetic. In my classes, I focus largely on having a good time. My belief is that you learn better if you're having a good time. Of course, I also believe in helping my students improve their pronunciation, intonation, and fluency; and for them to reach the goal of communicating naturally and confidently in the language (languages) they choose to learn.
So, what are you waiting for? Contact me today, and let's start this exciting-and-fun-learning journey together!
Accents, spelling / characters:
-English: North American
-Mandarin: Mainland China (Simplified Chinese)
-Cantonese: Hong Kong (Traditional Chinese)

Step-by-Step English: Fun with Reading, Writing, and GrammarWelcome to our Virtual English Class!
In this fun and interactive online class, I’ll help you build a strong foundation in English. You’ll learn how to read simple stories, write complete sentences, and understand basic grammar rules like punctuation, parts of speech, and sentence structure.
Each lesson is designed to be engaging and age-appropriate, with activities that make learning exciting—like games, short writing exercises, and group reading time. We’ll also focus on building confidence in using English, whether you’re writing a sentence, reading out loud, or spotting grammar mistakes.
This class is perfect for young learners who are just starting their English journey or need extra practice with the basics. Best of all, it’s completely virtual, so you can join from the comfort of your home!
Chi Chun
Everyday English and Chinese! Language made simpleLearning a new language can feel like trying to read IKEA instructions—backwards. But don’t worry, I’m here to make it simple, practical, and even a little fun (yes, even grammar!).
Whether you’re just starting or you’ve been ghosting Duolingo for months (we’ve all been there), this class is for real people who want to actually speak Chinese or English in daily life.
🗣️ What you’ll get:
• Real conversation practice – no robot-sounding textbook stuff
• Useful words and phrases (like how to say “I’m lost” and “Where’s the bathroom?”—top priorities!)
• Pronunciation help so people actually understand you
• Cultural tips so you don’t accidentally insult someone’s grandmother
• 1-on-1 lessons, so it’s all about you
Whether you’re trying to order hotpot in Mandarin without burning your tongue 🔥, or finally want to say something in English other than “Hello, my name is...” – this class is your safe, supportive space.
🧠 Bonus:
We’ll laugh through the mistakes (yes, tones in Chinese can betray you 😅), celebrate the wins (you ordered coffee in English and it wasn’t a disaster!), and help you feel like a language legend in no time.
🌱 Build Real Progress
One lesson is a great start — but you’ll see real, lasting progress after a few sessions. That’s when you’ll start surprising yourself with how much you can understand and say. Think of it like planting a language seed — let’s water it together and watch it grow! 🌿
Ready? Bring your curiosity (and maybe a snack), and let’s start speaking!
