[China-HK]

I have been searching for an English tutor for a long time...
Again, I work and live in HK island and prefer some one near around (either a native speaker or an ABC or the equivalent) to improve English. In reture, if you are interested, I can offer free courses in standard mandarine and pure cantonese. Or local knowledge about Beijing, Guangzhou and Shenzhen.
Thanks for your kind attention.

I don't mind trading for Cantonese. I'm an Eng. teacher in Hong Kong. I was born here, but my Cantonese is poor. I've worked at the English department of a university in New York City and for Berlitz (http://www.berlitz.com.hk). Are you on HK or Kowloon side?

Take care,

Jay

I'd be interested in trading for putonghua. I need much more practice.

Are you an english teacher at Berlitz? Because I am looking for an English school here in HK for one of my friends from Europe...

jayinhongkong - what can you tell me about Berlitz? I'm thinking about taking an Beg Mandarin class there. Any insight? Is it worth the money, good teachers, quality?? Any input would be great. Thanks!

Lukbelaldy: The teachers are good, they're all intelligent and it's centrally located. You'll have a variety of teachers and you can pick one to stick with. They aren't cheap, though.

Schorizo: I'd be happy to teach one of your friends. Here's a link to my ad on Geoexpat. I've taught a lot of people from this forum, and I'm still teaching quite a few.

If you don't like the teacher, there's always the possibility of getting a different one if you request it. Also, if the teacher is ill or unable to make it, you'll get a different teacher. People learn in different ways, so what suits one person might not suit another.
