Grace is the best Chinese tutor I’ve had- no, without a doubt Grace is the best tutor I have ever had, for I truly believe her teaching transcends the boundaries of any specific subject; Simply unparalleled among the 50+ tutors whom I've had prior experiences with.
Grace helped me achieve an A in Chinese in just 1/3 of the usual GCSE course duration, with 0 prior knowledge.
Her exceptional planning, detailed notes on each student, tailored lesson structures, and an overall thoughtfully curated learning plan (extending even beyond lessons with personalised homework), made every session incredibly effective.

I'd also like to highlight the fact she would often extend the lesson by 30-40 minutes to ensure I fully understood each concept, even teaching despite illness and covid! Her dedication and passion for teaching is real, I cannot recommend Grace highly enough!

Grace excels at explaining Mandarin concepts with patience and clarity, all while infusing humour into her teaching. I felt completely comfortable asking her questions throughout the lessons, which I believe was key to helping me fully engage with the Chinese language and understand its nuances. Additionally, I really appreciated how we went beyond the academic curriculum to explore cultural holidays and trendy slang currently used in China. Grace's deep knowledge of the language, including regional slang from different Chinese-speaking countries, and historical background of each character and symbol, only deepened my respect for her. Grace's expertise is remarkable, and I felt very secure knowing that I was learning from someone highly knowledgeable. There wasn't a single question of mine she couldn't answer!

Her dedication to her students' success not only drove me to excel academically, but also infused me with an appreciation for Chinese culture. Thanks to her, I learned far more than just the language, and a year after my exams, I can still comfortably converse in Mandarin with my Chinese friends!

I highly recommend Grace!!!

Grace was a very dedicated tutor who tailored her teaching to my level of ability very accurately. She achieved a good balance between reading, writing, speaking and listening. My Mandarin studies advanced very well with Grace's encouragement. She was also highly professional in her approach.

Grace is an exceptional Mandarin tutor, who I was incredibly lucky to find. Starting a language like Mandarin from scratch was a daunting challenge for me, but Grace has a natural gift for teaching. In three years I learned more than I ever could have possibly imagined. Grace is kind and patient, and her style of teaching is dynamic, interactive and engaging. She is extremely attentive to her students' needs, tailoring each session to focus on areas that need the most improvement, whilst using fantastic materials to make even the most difficult concepts in Mandarin enjoyable for me, which made a world of difference to my progress. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to improve or learn Mandarin.

Grace was a wonderful tutor for me for 4+ years. She helped me to make it through a Chinese language university degree, achieving a 2:1. I wouldn't have been able to do it without her, and reccomend her very highly.
