Jiandan H
My son has gained a great deal of confidence in Mandarin after learning with Jiandan. She explains concepts clearly, patiently answers questions, and always clear any doubts he has. Her support was especially valuable during a crucial exam period, helping him improve his understanding and perform with greater confidence. Jiandan is a dedicated and encouraging teacher, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking to learn Mandarin effectively.

Phil T
My child was really struggling with Nat 5 Chemistry and parts of the Physics syllabus; the school was unsuccessful on 3 occasions at employing a chemistry teacher so you can imagine the horror we presented to Phil!
He took it in his stride and within weeks had not only found the level we were working at and begun to establish rapport, and it was joyous to see the boost in confidence alone.
Phil has a no nonsense approach and is incredibly diligent – I don’t think he’s doing this as a side hustle, he does actually want to get your kid to learn.
Feedback is very good too.
My child is expected to pass with good marks now and above all felt confident going into the exams.
We will definitely be keeping him on for Highers next year!
