8+ yrs PSC Certified Tutor | Mandarin, Cantonese | HSK,Business | Cross-Cultural
Hi! I’m Anita — and here’s something I’d love to share with you:
👩🏻🏫 What kind of teacher am I?
MBTI: ENFJ-A | Friendly, Patient, and Supportive
I’m a multilingual Chinese tutor (Mandarin + Cantonese) with over 5,500 hours of teaching experience, both online and in person. I’ve guided 60+ students from 25 countries — from teens to adults, beginners to advanced — always tailoring each lesson to their unique goals.
After living in Istanbul for 12 years, I’m now based in Malaysia, and recently earned my MBA degree. As a lifelong language learner myself-currently learning Italian, I understand the challenges and joys of this journey — and I’m here to support you every step of the way.
㊙️ What are my strengths?
I specialize in HSK preparation & Business Chinese. If we follow the study plans I provide step by step, I’m confident you’ll pass the exam with a result you’re proud of. Many of my students have seen strong improvements in a short time with consistent support and feedback.
I also help learners improve their daily conversation skills — from practical, everyday phrases to expressing opinions, emotions, and ideas naturally. I always adapt topics to your lifestyle and interests so that you can use what you learn right away.
My Cantonese lessons are especially popular among students learning for family, heritage, relocation, or business purposes. Whether you're starting from zero or want to polish your skills, I’ll build a structured but relaxed learning path with you.
🌍 #What’s my teaching style?
My lessons are warm, flexible, and practical. I focus on pronunciation, real-life usage, cultural relevance, and building your confidence. I use authentic materials and tailor everything to your goals and pace — whether you're a beginner or already advanced.
📘 Lesson types I offer:
HSK / HSKK / YCT / BCT exam prep
Business Chinese & Cantonese
Daily & travel Chinese
Cantonese for personal, cultural, or professional use
Chinese culture & traditions
❤️ What do I care about most?
I genuinely care about your progress and confidence. Whether you're learning Mandarin or Cantonese, I’m here to help you feel comfortable, capable, and proud of every step. Book a lesson and let’s begin this meaningful journey together!

We’re confident you’ll love learning via LanguaTalk. We're trusted by students all over the world because we're transparent. We ask students to rate each lesson, and we display reviews on tutors’ profiles.
99.8% of lesson ratings are 5 stars. Why? Because unlike other platforms, we accept only the top 10% of tutor applications.
To see our full FAQs or get help from our friendly team, click the 'Help' button in the bottom-right. You can also watch students talking about their experiences learning via LanguaTalk below.
1-on-1 lessons are perhaps the best way to improve speaking skills, and because of this many students use LanguaTalk to learn to speak Chinese fluently. That said, some people have other, more specific goals. Let your tutor know what your goals are and they'll tailor the lessons to your personal needs. Most tutors can help with any of the following:
- Practical Chinese for travelling or integration
- HSK, TOCFL, SAT Chinese, AP Chinese Language and Culture exam preparation
- Business Chinese
- Improving specific skills: speaking, reading, listening & writing
- Preparation for school exams – A Levels / Baccalaureate etc.
- Grammar (for all levels)
- Improving pronunciation
Most of the Chinese tutors on our site are able to teach students of all levels. When you click on a tutor's profile you'll see if certain levels are not supported. For example, certain tutors cannot teach complete beginners.
Whilst the majority of tutors offer Zoom Chinese classes for adults, you’ll see on profiles that only some of them are suitable for kids and teenagers. If your son/daughter wants to take lessons to support their school/college studies, you can optionally provide the tutor with the materials or topics covered. Please note that as per our Terms & Conditions, students who are under 18 must get permission from a legal guardian before booking.
New to LanguaTalk? You'll have one credit for a free trial. Most tutors offer a trial for free. If they do not, they’ll offer a trial session at a discount compared to their usual hourly rate.
Trial sessions are 30 minutes. They allow you to assess whether the tutor is a good fit for you, and get a feel for learning online. The tutor will assess your level and aim to understand your needs and interests so that they can customise any lessons you decide to take. You'll be encouraged to speak in Chinese as much as possible, but of course you can speak in English too! Book a trial today to see if taking Chinese lessons on Zoom works well for you.
After your session, if you feel that the tutor isn’t quite right for you, you can simply book a trial with someone else.
Lessons are taught 1-on-1 so that you receive your tutor’s full attention and can make fast progress. Communicating via video call, you’ll be able to talk to your tutor and share learning materials as if you were in the same room.
The tutors vary in terms of their teaching methods, resources, experience, and personalities. So we suggest you look at several profiles to choose the best tutor for you. Whichever tutor you pick, they'll aim to tailor the lessons to your individual needs.
The vast majority of students take 55-minute lessons. But some tutors also provide the option of 30-minute lessons. If they do, you’ll see this noted on their profile (below their pricing and above the ‘Buy Lessons’ button).
55-minute lessons are recommended for most students. In general, we only suggest considering 30-minute lessons if they’re for your child, or you have an intermediate level and only want conversation practice.
The beauty of taking lessons online is that you can learn anytime, anywhere. To see tutors who are likely to fit your weekly schedule, use the availability filter at the top. Then when you see a tutor you like, check their profile calendar to make sure their time slots work for you. Some tutors have limited availability as they already have lots of students.
We want students to have an exceptional learning experience on LanguaTalk, so we only accept the very best tutor applications. Though we consider qualifications and experience, we place equal value on communication skills, personality and reviews from previous students. Almost all of the tutors are native speakers of the language they teach, and they can speak English too.
Each tutor is unique - they have different backgrounds, strengths, teaching methods and personalities. So we suggest you browse several profiles to find the right tutor for you.
Our booking system is designed to be easy to use. You can see tutors' available slots in your local time zone. If you choose to book lessons with a tutor, you'll be able to buy them one at a time, or purchase in bulk with a volume discount. You can pay securely by card on our website.
You can manually add bookings to your personal calendar, or if you use Google calendar, you can add bookings automatically with our syncing feature. You'll also be able to receive email reminders to help ensure you don't forget to turn up.
You can reschedule or cancel lessons in a couple of clicks. Please note that this can be done up to 24 hours before the lesson time. We have this policy to be fair to tutors, who cannot replace lessons at the last minute and need some form of income protection.
How much do Chinese tutors on Zoom typically charge per lesson?
Chinese lessons via Zoom tend to be cheaper than face-to-face because the tutor doesn't need to travel. Online Chinese tutors may cost between $14 to $50 per hour, but be aware that very cheap tutors on certain websites may lack experience. On LanguaTalk, Chinese tutors typically charge between $14 and $40 per hour.
Of course, receiving Chinese tutoring via Zoom or Skype is not the cheapest way to learn; you could learn via a free app instead. But if you're serious about learning, nothing beats 1-on-1 Chinese lessons with a great teacher.
How does learning with a Chinese teacher on Zoom differ from learning face-to-face?
Students sometimes feel unsure about learning online because they think it won't be as effective as learning face-to-face. But usually when they try it, they find that the experience is almost the same and they often build a strong relationship with their tutor.
Once you start a video call with your chosen Chinese tutor on Zoom, you’ll be able to communicate with them as if you were in the same room. They’ll usually also share learning resources with you (using Google Docs, YouTube etc.) and you’ll be able to collaborate in real-time.
What's the best way to learn Chinese?
There is no 'best way' to learn a language - it depends on many factors, such as your needs, level and budget. If you can't afford to take 1-on-1 Chinese lessons on Zoom, you can use a free app like Duolingo to build your vocab. And to improve your listening skills, you can try watching TV and listening to podcasts in Chinese. But to learn how to actually speak a language, you need to talk to a native speaker on a regular basis and receive accurate feedback so that you improve. If you want to make fast progress, it's best to take private lessons that are tailored to your personal needs by an experienced teacher.
