About Maggie Hoi Lam
Hi all active Chinese learners!
I am a Chinese teacher who holds a Chinese Education bachelor's degree from the University of Hong Kong, with more than 10 years of tutoring experience, in both Hong Kong and London. I am now currently doing a MA in Language and Cultural Diversity at King's College London, aiming to acquire more knowledge in facilitating my Chinese teaching through examining the relationship between language and culture.
I am perfectly fluent in both Mandarin and Cantonese because I was raised in Hong Kong but also studied in Beijing. I can also read both traditional and simplified Chinese so it will make your Chinese learning more fruitful and all-rounded.

I taught Chinese to international school students in Hong Kong alongside my bachelor's degree. Then I've decided making teaching Chinese as a second language my career as I have had relevant experience and I really enjoy it. Then I moved to London in 2015 and started working with different schools and people. As an education graduate, I am quite knowledgeable about teaching pedagogy and I know how to create an effective classroom. My students are aged from 5 to 40, including preschoolers, GCSE/AS/AL/HSK students, adult learners (bankers, PhD students) who target on business and academic language usage.
When I first meet my students, I love doing an entry test with them to see what level they have achieved. For complete beginners, don't worry, I have been designing a lot of different materials in order to make a start for them. I love creating tailor-made teaching materials as I believe everyone has their own way to succeed.

Perfect! Excellent tutor
Really happy with my lessons and the support provided by Maggie, she has given me the structure I need to keep up with my Cantonese learning. Maggie is a very friendly tutor and her teaching pace is just right for a beginner like me: not too slow (we started speaking in Cantonese straight away) but also not too fast so that I didn't get frustrated or overwhelmed. Maggie doesn't just provide tuition during lessons, she also provides homework tasks and supporting materials to help improve vocabulary and general learning throughout the week. I also really like how she introduces colloquial expressions during lessons, because with a language like Cantonese (which has plenty of slang!) this is the way to start to sound more like a native :-D
Overall, I highly recommend Maggie for Cantonese lessons, she is a great teacher and I am already learning so much!
Subject : Cantonese
Outcome : Very happy with my lessons and highly recommend Maggie!- Maggie Hoi Lam's response :Thank you, Colin! I am glad to hear that you find it useful for your learning. I had a nice time with you too because you were also responsive and attentive. Keep up the good work!

Recommendations

Maggie has been my Chinese teacher for 3 years and I would have no hesitation in recommending her to others. She's professional, patient and also very reflexive in her teaching, always ready to adapt the class and her approach to whatever your needs are.
Miss Maggie is an enthusiastic and engaging tutor. My son enjoys having lessons with Miss Maggie and I would recommend her to any student.
Maggie was one of the BEST teachers I have ever recruited for our school. She was always helpful and supported the school with additional work at all times.
Maggie was employed as a Chinese Language Tutor at the Chinese Independent School of Tower Hamlets from February 2016 to June 2017. She taught her students age between 5 to 16 through reading, speaking, listening and writing to raise their interest in learning about the Chinese language (both Cantonese and Mandarin) and culture, but most of all to enhance their communication skills to have the confidence to express themselves with their mother tongue, which is the main goal that she had always aim and managed to achieve.
Maggie assessed her students' ability and progress on a regular basis and hence she was able to plan her lessons well and able to cater for all students' needs.
She was a high-energy self-starter who quickly assumes responsibility and she was not afraid to face new challenges and situations. She got along well with all her colleagues, her students, and parents, as she stood a good role model to their children.
Maggie was nominated as one of the Jackchey's Young Achiever winners in 2016 as well as the winner of the leader's award in 2017 for the recognition of her work.
Through my careful observation, the way she carried out her tasks and outcomes of her performance, she exhibited excellent leadership and have a very strong organisational and communicational skills.
As a supervisor of Maggie, I wish her great success in her future and am glad to know that she wishes to pursue her career with a company as established as yours. I strongly recommend her fully and would be happy to discuss her candidature further if required, you may feel free to contact me at any time.View more recommendations
