About Carren
I am a qualified English teacher with a PGCE from the University of Bristol. Growing up between the UK and Hong Kong, I am passionate about languages and literature. I became a professional English teacher in the UK and taught KS3 and KS4 students for 4 years both online and in secondary schools. I am familiar with Edexcel and Cambridge mark schemes and assessment objectives.
As a speaker of Cantonese, I am uniquely equipped to help native Cantonese speakers transition smoothly into the UK GCSE curriculum.
I believe English and poetry should be for everyone and no one should feel anxious about language learning. I want students to share what they're passionate about and feel confident in using a language that may not be their own.
Tell me what you want to learn and what exams you want to pass and we'll do it together!

If you're learning English as a second language or a GCSE student, you've come to the right place! My teaching is dialogic, interactive and personal.
I will focus on helping you achieve your personal goal in mastering English. We will learn about lots of cultural terms and focus on using phonics to help build your reading skills. It doesn't matter how much English you can comprehend or produce. I will tailor the lessons to fill your learning gaps!
I break down complex literary texts and essay-writing frameworks into manageable, step-by-step steps. Whether you are struggling with unseen poetry, analysing Shakespeare, or mastering SPaG (Spelling, Punctuation, and Grammar) for your exams, I tailor every session to your target grade. We will work with mark schemes and learn about what the examiner is looking for.

I had the pleasure of working with Carren and have always found her to be a dedicated and highly knowledgeable English teacher. She has experience teaching both GCSE English Language and English Literature and has a strong understanding of the relevant specifications and mark schemes.
One of her key strengths is her ability to put the needs of her learners at the centre of her teaching. She consistently considers the individual needs and abilities of her students and works hard to ensure that learning is accessible and engaging for everyone. She has a particular talent for breaking down complex concepts and providing clear guidance that enables students to develop confidence and make progress.Carren explains things clearly and patiently, in a way that's easy to follow. She teaches Cantonese in context, so you learn the culture and background behind the language beyond just vocab, which makes it much easier to understand, remember and connect with. I'd recommend her to anyone who values understanding the language and culture at depth.
Carren has been my Cantonese tutor for a few months now, she’s a kind and patient tutor that makes every lesson engaging and fun.
She’s identified what has been working well for me and has been tailoring our lessons to ensure I get the most out of them. I look forward to our lessons as she also includes lots of facts around the topics we are learning to keep it interesting rather than just rope learning words and phrases.
I would highly recommend her as a tutor or speaking partnerCarren is such a brilliant Cantonese teacher! She’s so patient and kind, even when I mix up my tones (which happens a lot!). What I love most is that she tailors every lesson to what I’m actually interested in, so it never feels like a boring textbook slog. If you’re thinking about learning Cantonese, Carren will make you feel comfortable and confident from lesson one. Can’t recommend her enough!
