Testimony

Over the past years I have been tutoring more than 50 students aging from 3-year-old to over 70-year-old with various levels and background in Chinese study. The vast majority of my students enjoy learning and and make substantial progress. A number of students have achieve A* results in their GCSE Chinese exams! Below are some of the tesinomy I received.

My son got A* in GCSE Chinese exam with Helen's help

My 2 sons have been with Helen for over 4 years now and I cannot recommend her enough. My kids have loved her from day one. They also attend a mandarin school and my children only ever wanted to go to her.  Helen is fun friendly and helpful says Ben.  James says she is great teacher, she knows what she is doing and is so helpful.We all agree that she goes the extra mile to make sure the children are prepared for their exams and to teach them the joy of learning a language.Just need to mention through all Helen and James' hard work he achieved an A* in his GCSE Chinese exam this year!

A wonderful experience of Mandarin learning

Helen is an amazing Mandarin tutor. When I started with her, I had never studied Chinese before, and she worked through the Pinyin pronunciation very patiently and carefully with me, teaching me the fundamentals that I needed for further live and work in China. Overall, I found my Chinese was greatly improved with her tuition. Helen is extremely patient, encouraging and motivating. I would enthusiastically recommend her to any students who wish to learn Mandarin language knowledge and skills.

Learning Chinese is fun - who would have thought?

Helen is an outstanding Mandarin teacher. My son is nearly 11 years old and has been attending weekly lessons with Helen for a few months.  Learning Chinese is difficult, but Helen make it looks simple and fun. Its a wonderful thing to see your child motivated and looking forward to his next lesson. I can wholeheartedly recommend Helen. I am so glad we found her!

My daughter loves her GCSE Chinese tuition

Although my daughter has only started taking GCSE Chinese lessons with Helen a few months ago, she has made significant progress. Helen's lessons are interesting and well-structured and my daughter always looks forward to them. I have spent years looking for a good Mandarin teacher for my daughter. It is such joy to have found Helen  - she is really passionate about teaching Chinese and is always kind and encouraging.

My son loves his Mandarin lessons

I can't recommend Helen highly enough. She is by far the best language teacher I have ever had. Helen has been teaching my now 6 year old son for about 7 months and prior to that, I struggled to find someone who could make learning Chinese fun. What I find most amazing about Helen is that she is able to combine FUN with STRUCTURE. My son actually loves going to Helen's and looks forward to his lessons every week. It is easy for any bystander to observe that Helen is passionate about teaching Mandarin and that her students make progress through her teaching!
