Jiandan H
She is such an amazing tutor. She helped my son build his confidence for his A-levels. She knows exactly how the exams work, so every lesson was made around his tests and final exams. She also gave him homework and went out of her way to make him revision cards. She went above and beyond and was so professional throughout. My son is even considering staying with Jiandan whilst at Uni to continue improving his abilities in Mandarin as a good tutor isn't easy to find! I couldn't be more pleased or more impressed. Thank you so much, Jiandan, and I look forward to seeing more of you in the future.

She is a very attentive, patient, and supportive teacher. She explains Mandarin clearly and sends notes after lessons, which I find very helpful for revising and practising on my own. She is also very accommodating when I need to change lesson times. I’ve really enjoyed learning with her and would highly recommend her to anyone wanting to study Mandarin
