From Murisa (/5): Shirley is lovely and pleasant lady, very efficient and professional. Her lessons are engaging, useful and she is very patient. I would highly recommend her to anyone interested in learning English.
From Ken (/5):
From Matthew (/5): Shirley is a great communicator. She explains concepts well and gives opportunity to practice new skills.
From Hamish (/5): We are very pleased that we found Shirley. She is very well prepared and knowledgeable. She has a great teaching style and personality for teaching. My son was a bit worried about having a tutor one-on-one because he is in the shy teen stage. Shirley has obviously dealt with teen awkwardness a lot. She made him feel immediately relaxed by being so confident, friendly and no-nonsense. He said Shirley seems really kind, knowledgeable, easy to interact with and chat to, and has a good sense of humour". My son is already reporting that he feels more confident with his Chinese, a huge turnaround, and they've only just started!
