Huiwen is an excellent tutor. My daughter studies Mandarin at University level. She has learning disabilities so we thought getting a tutor for her would help. She finds the sessions very helpful and we both agree that Huiwen is a lovely person, which makes the sessions even better. I would highly recommend her services.

I wanted to share some very positive feedback about your Chinese lessons. I’m genuinely impressed by how quickly and effectively you teach — the classes are clear, well-structured, and very focused. Most importantly, Alex is making really big progress. He is understanding the material better, learning new content faster, and becoming more confident with Chinese. I also really appreciate how you keep him engaged and motivated, and how you explain difficult topics in a simple, easy-to-understand way. Thank you again — we’re very happy to continue working with you.

We are so happy with our son’s Mandarin tutor, Vivian. She is fantastic - she makes the sessions fun and engaging, and he genuinely laughs and enjoys every lesson. After just a few sessions, his confidence has grown enormously, and he is now much more confident in his Chinese lessons at school. We are extremely grateful for the positive impact she has had in such a short time.

TrinhFirst Tutors

We have just started our journey with Huwein (Vivian) and from the first conversation we knew she was the teacher for us. She asked questions that showed an interest in our daughter’s development and listened actively for her answers. Huwein has great GCSE mandarin knowledge and has designed a course of study that suits and will confidently deliver the results at the pace we’ve asked for.

It’s my pleasure to support and guide your daughter on her GCSE Chinese journey. She is truly talented, and what’s most impressive is her genuine enthusiasm and passion for everything she learns in class. I look forward to working together to help her achieve excellence in Chinese.

JessicaFirst Tutors

This from my daugter"She takes what is said in lessons into account and we have found great success with how she tailors to autism. She is supportive and encouraging, leaving lessons enjoyable and us wanting more. She can explain topics, sentence structure and even the history of characters in a way that makes sense while also answering questions well and informatively. Her experience as a actual teacher in the MEP programme really helps with supporting my school learning. It has so far been a pleasure with her and she has really supported my confidence." From a parents point of view she has been supportive and engaging and i have seen my daughter confidence in speaking and understand of sentence structures expand. Vivien's teaching style is fun and informative.

Tutor response

Thank you so much for sharing such thoughtful and encouraging feedback—it truly means a lot to me. Teaching your girl has been an absolute joy, and I’m so grateful to witness her growth and enthusiasm in every lesson.

SondyFirst Tutors

Huiwen is an experienced Chinese teacher who knows my daughter's strengths and weaknesses well. She also provides thorough assessments of her learning progress. I am confident that my daughter will do well in her studies and in the GCSE exam next year.

Tutor response

Thank you for the review. It is my pleasure to teach Naomi.

SerdilFirst Tutors

I can't say enough good things about Vivian! 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

Tutor response

Hi Serdil, Thank you for the feedback. It is a pleasure to teach you Chinese. I also learn a lot from your language and background. Vivian

EmmaFirst Tutors

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!

Tutor response

Thank you for the review. It is my pleasure to have a lesson with an advanced student.

AnilFirst Tutors

Tutor response

Thank you for the feedback. It is my pleasure to teach your daughter who is very bright and willing to give Chinese a second chance to learn better.
