has to be local tutor. I found a platform called superprof with tons of local tutors here and am filtering out to find one suitable for me. Concurrently, I'm self learning while doing duolingo.

Honestly, living here has been challenging, especially as someone unable to speak my own mother tongue— which is ironic considering this isn't China. I've faced more hostility from my own kind for this, and even my peers (non-chinese) dont get treated the same way I do.

It has reached to the point that now I actively avoid kopitiams and any interactions with my own kind.
