From Emma (/5): Very happy with Huiwen as a teacher, its good that she always prepares the lesson and its clear she is a very qualified teacher. She is able to explain grammar etc in a clear way which some of my teachers of the past haven't been able to do as effectively. I've been learning Chinese for a while so not a beginner but I wish I had had a teacher like Huiwen from the beginning because she has taught me some things I should have learnt from the start. I'm looking forward to continuing with her and taking my chinese to a more advanced level. I like how she sends me resources between lesson too!
Reply from: Huiwen: Thank you for the review. It is my pleasure to have a lesson with an advanced student.

From Elle (/5): Huiwen is very responsible. She helps my 14yrs old for GCSE Chinese. We've just started and had a few lessons. I can already see my son's approach to Chinese learning has become more consistant. Huiwen gave him homework after each lesson and set up words to learn. The words were tested in each lesson to ensure his learnings are solid. We are very happy with Huiwen and would recommend her.

From Wei (/5): Huiwen is teaching my two daughters age 6 and 11. She is a very experienced teacher which makes it much easier for my two daughters to learn this difficult language. I had tried to teach my daughters myself as I am a native speaker. However, after a few lessons with Huiwen , I realised she has great knowledge and methods of teaching Mandarin. My two daughters became much more motivated to learn the language, and they are always looking forward to having the lessons. Definitely recommended.
Reply from: Huiwen: Thank you for the feedback, Wei. It is my pleasure to teach your lovely and bright daughters.
From Josh (/5): Excellent teacher. Builds confidence in student by making them feel comfortable in explaining themselves and their thoughts in a second language. Progress is incredibly fast as a result. Varied topics also improve vocabulary at a quick rate. Couldn't recommend enough.

From Sarah (/5): The lessons have been really useful so far. I like the way they're structured, and writing short pieces for homework has been challenging but helpful. It's been really great to have examples of online articles to read, or a film to watch, has this has helped develop different skills. It's also been good to have lots of new vocabulary each lesson, and to be encouraged to try and use more complex language. Thank you, Huiwen!

Reply from: Huiwen: Thank you, Shuan. It is very nice to teach a very hardworking student like you.
She's an amazing Chinese teacher. Learning Mandarin with her is genuinely fun. She's so engaging and always finds ways to bring Chinese culture into the lessons, which makes everything so much more interesting and easier to remember.
But what really makes Vivian stand out is how much she cares about her students. She actually took the time to learn about my background and culture, and then started incorporating it into the lessons! It made me feel so seen and valued, and it really enhanced my learning experience.
I would recommend Vivian to anyone who wants to have fun while learning Mandarin.
Thank you Vivian
