歡迎來到小獅子中文教室
WE ROAR TOGETHER
小獅子中文教室由充滿活力和熱誠的 Kristy Wong 創立，小獅子致力於讓粵語學習變得有趣、互動且每個小朋友都能參與。僅僅兩年，我們位於布里斯托的中心已經發展成一個充滿活力的學生社群，吸引了過百個各個年齡層的學生，大家都懷著好奇與熱情，期待每一堂課的到來。
Founded by the lively and dedicated Kristy Wong, Cubbies is here to make learning Cantonese exciting, engaging, and accessible for all. In just two years, our Bristol-based centre has blossomed into a vibrant community of over a hundred students of all ages who look forward to each lesson with curiosity and enthusiasm.
大家好，我是 Kristy 老師，小獅子中文教室的創辦人，也是一位熱愛教學、堅持傳承中文文化的教育工作者。
我於 2014 年畢業於香港教育大學，主修小學中文教育，副修視覺藝術，同時亦曾修讀幼兒教育高級文憑課程。畢業後，我全心投身教育行業，在香港一所津貼小學任教近八年，八年間除了教授中文科及其他學術科目，後來更升任為特殊教育統籌主任，以領導的角色照顧全校學生不同的學習需要。教學期間，我不但建立了穩固的教學基礎，也深切體會到語言對孩子思維、文化認同和自信心的深遠影響。
2020 年，我移居英國，與許多移民家庭一樣，初來乍到，對未來充滿不確定。在機緣巧合下，我加入了 Bristol 名校 Clifton College，擔任 Nursery Practitioner，從事幼兒教育工作。雖然每天都與孩子們相處得非常愉快，但我始終放不下中文教育這份熱情與專業。
在與不少香港家庭接觸的過程中，我留意到許多家長都有一個共同的困難——想讓孩子學好中文，卻苦無方法或資源。坊間缺乏適合海外兒童學習廣東話和繁體字的教材，令不少家長在教導孩子時感到無助和迷惘。
這讓我萌生了一個念頭：為何不自己動手，創造一個真正屬於海外華人孩子的中文學習平台？於是，我在幾位香港家長的鼓勵下，決定勇敢一試，創辦了小獅子中文教室。
創校初期困難重重，教材、課程、教學方法樣樣都要親自構思和試驗。為了讓孩子們學得有效又開心，我設計了整套適合 3 歲至 GCSE 程度的中文課程，並根據不同年齡階段的語言發展和學習需要，編寫教材、設計遊戲、創作練習活動。課堂生動有趣，強調互動與應用，讓孩子不再覺得學中文是沉悶或困難的事。
幾年來，我們的學生人數穩步上升，這讓我更堅信：「只要方法對、態度正，海外孩子一樣可以學好中文。」為了讓更多孩子受惠，我現正積極培訓熱誠、有創意的中文教師，建立一支專業且具活力的教學團隊，讓優質中文教育的火種傳承下去。
對我來說，小獅子中文教室不只是一個學習平台，更是一個傳承文化、凝聚身份認同的地方。我希望每一位學生，都能從學習中文中感受到文化的溫度，也學會為自己的華人身分而驕傲。
Hello everyone! I’m Miss Kristy, the founder of Cubbies Chinese Learning Centre, and an educator who is passionate about teaching and committed to passing on the richness of Chinese language and culture.
I graduated in 2014 from The Education University of Hong Kong with a Bachelor of Education (Honours) in Primary Chinese Education, minoring in Visual Arts. I also studied a Higher Diploma in Early Childhood Education. After graduating, I dedicated myself fully to the field of education and spent nearly eight years teaching at a government-subsidised primary school in Hong Kong. During those eight years, I taught Chinese and other academic subjects and was later promoted to the role of Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENco), where I led efforts to support students with diverse learning needs across the entire school.
Throughout my teaching journey, I developed a solid foundation in pedagogy and gained a deep appreciation for how language shapes children’s thinking, cultural identity, and self-confidence.
In 2020, I moved to the UK. Like many immigrant families, I faced uncertainty and challenges in starting over. By chance, I joined the nursery department of the prestigious Clifton College in Bristol as a Nursery Practitioner, working in early childhood education. Although I truly enjoyed working with young children, I couldn’t let go of my passion and expertise in Chinese education.
As I connected with more Hong Kong families, I noticed that many parents shared a common struggle — they wanted their children to learn Chinese, but lacked the proper resources or support. There were few, if any, teaching materials available that were tailored for overseas children learning Cantonese and Traditional Chinese, which left many parents feeling helpless and overwhelmed.
That’s when a thought came to me: Why not create a Chinese learning platform specifically designed for overseas Chinese children? With the encouragement of several Hong Kong parents, I decided to take the leap and founded Cubbies Chinese Learning Centre.
The early days of the centre were full of challenges — I had to design everything from scratch: the teaching materials, curriculum, and methodology. To help children learn effectively and joyfully, I created a comprehensive curriculum that spans from age 3 all the way to GCSE level. I developed custom teaching materials, engaging activities, and interactive homework based on each age group’s developmental and linguistic needs. My classes are lively and hands-on, making sure that learning Chinese feels fun and meaningful, not boring or intimidating.
Over the years, our student numbers have grown steadily, which has strengthened my belief that: “With the right method and the right mindset, children growing up overseas can learn Chinese well.”
To help more children benefit, I am now actively training a team of passionate and creative Chinese teachers — building a professional and dynamic teaching team that will carry the torch of quality Chinese education forward.
To me, Cubbies Chinese Learning Centre is more than just a place to learn the language — it is a platform for cultural connection and identity-building. I hope that every student who learns with us can feel the warmth of Chinese culture and grow up proud of their heritage as part of the global Chinese community.
大家好，我是小獅子中文教室的聯合創辦人之一，也是一名英國執業律師。在香港土生土長的我，從小接受中英雙語教育，中學畢業於拔萃女書院，後來遠赴英國修讀法律，並在這裡開展了我的職業生涯和家庭生活。
我一直非常感激我的母親，當年她堅持讓我入讀重視中文教育的小學，讓我奠下穩固的中文基礎。這個決定不但讓我能夠精通兩文三語，也讓我今日能夠在不同語境中自如切換，在工作上獲取明顯的競爭優勢。作為香港人必須珍惜我們自身的優勢，在未來職涯的選擇上，孩子擁有中文能力，無疑是打開更多機會之門的一把金鑰匙。
儘管身在海外，中文一直是我與家人、文化和自我身份的重要連繫。多年來，我深切體會到，語言不僅僅是溝通工具，更是文化傳承和身份認同的根基。正是這份信念，推動我與Kristy老師一同創立小獅子中文教室——一個希望讓海外華人家庭的孩子，從小就能擁有學習中文、了解中華文化的平台。
同時，作為香港人，我深知我們擁有獨特的語言文化背景——我們說粵語、寫繁體字、擁有中西交融的思維方式。在小獅子中文教室，我們希望透過有趣、多元的課堂設計，讓孩子們不單是學會中文，更是建立起對華人文化的自豪感，認識自己的根，珍惜身為香港人的身份。
小獅子不只是中文教室，更是一個文化與身份的承載者。我們希望每一位在這裡學習的小朋友，未來不論身處世界哪一個角落，都能帶着對中文的熱愛與自信，走得更遠、看得更廣。
Hello everyone, I am one of the co-founders of Cubbies Chinese Learning Centre, and I am also a practising solicitor in the UK. Born and raised in Hong Kong, I received a bilingual education in both Chinese and English from an early age. I graduated from Diocesan Girls' School and later moved to the UK to study law, where I built both my professional career and family life.
I have always been deeply grateful to my mother, who insisted on enrolling me in a primary school that placed strong emphasis on Chinese education. That decision laid a solid foundation for my Chinese language skills. It not only enabled me to become fluent in both Chinese and English, but also gave me the ability to switch seamlessly between languages in different contexts—an advantage that has significantly benefitted my career. As Hongkongers, we must cherish this unique linguistic edge we possess. In today’s globalised world, having a strong command of Chinese is undoubtedly a key that opens the door to more career opportunities for the next generation.
Even though I now live overseas, Chinese remains a vital connection to my family, my culture, and my identity. Over the years, I’ve come to realise that language is not just a tool for communication—it is the foundation of cultural inheritance and self-identity. It was this belief that inspired me to co-found Cubbies Chinese Learning Centre with Miss Kristy — a platform dedicated to helping children from overseas Chinese families learn the language and connect with their cultural roots from an early age.
As a Hongkonger, I also recognise the uniqueness of our linguistic and cultural heritage — we speak Cantonese, write in traditional Chinese, and embody a blend of Eastern and Western perspectives. At Cubbies, we aim to design engaging and diverse lessons that not only help children learn Chinese, but also instill in them a strong sense of cultural pride, a connection to their heritage, and an appreciation of their identity as Hongkongers.
Cubbies Chinese Learning Centre is more than just a language school — it is a place where culture and identity are nurtured. We hope that every child who learns with us, no matter where they are in the world, will carry with them a love for the Chinese language and the confidence to go further and see wider.
