Selina L
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

Wei is a lovely and dedicated teacher who is thorough throughout her lessons and takes the time to explain anything you’re struggling with in great detail to make sure you fully understand. She sets regular homework, marks it carefully, and goes through it with you, pointing out any mistakes and explaining how to improve. She’s always very well prepared and organised, making each lesson structured and productive. Her teaching style is patient and encouraging, which really helps to build confidence when learning Mandarin. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a supportive and knowledgeable tutor.
