Xirong has been helping my year 10 son with his GCSE Mandarin. He is finding the lessons very helpful and he really enjoys working with her. We are planning to continue the lessons. Thank you!
From Mark
Xirong's lessons are inspiring, informative and enjoyable. She has a good pace covering useful phrases and interacts with testing sentences giving opportunity to role play conversations in every day situations. Xirong praises each phrase correctly delivered and reinforces correct pronunciation if wrong in a positive manner. Highly recommended! If you require a confident, happy and knowledgeable Chinese tutor then Xirong is highly recommended!
From Caleb
I have a very good time in Xirong's lessons. She is very patient with me if I am struggling with something, and is always willing to explain in a way that I can easily understand. She also has a good sense of humour as well, so the lessons never feel too serious and intimidating.
From Adam
Xirong is professional and friendly as a tutor. She has very good ability in teaching and I highly recommend her to those wishing to learn Chinese.
From James
A great teacher! Very patient with my slow learning!
From Hannah
I have very much enjoyed my lessons with Xirong so far. They are well structured with plenty of repetition to improve learning.
From Jade
Xirong is a great teacher! She is very encouraging and is flexible with her approach and lesson plan. I find her lessons fun and engaging despite Cantonese being difficult!
From Richard
I have really enjoyed my lessons so far with Xirong. She has quickly assessed my ability and wants to understand my motivations to learn. She is flexible with lesson times and works with my schedule. I am very much looking forward to continuing our lessons!
From Caroline
Xirong is a fantastic tutor. We have been covering the basics of conversation and business level Mandarin. Both my classmate and I really enjoy our lessons and find the hour passes so fast! We would definitely recommend Ms as a tutor for adults wanting to learn Mandarin.
From jean
Xirong is an excellent teacher who really likes to teach. She is well prepared and enthusiastic. I am progressing and I gain confidence thanks to her lessons.
From Connor
I started lessons with no previous experience of speaking Cantonese. I have taken one hour classes once a week with Xirong, and have been very happy with the standard of tutoring provided. She is clear in her guidance and instructions, and makes learning fun. I am very pleased with the classes, and will be continuing for some time.
From Lisa
Xirong is currently tutoring my 3 primary aged children and they each look forward to their lessons with her. Xirong conducted an assessment of their current Mandarin language skills and has adjusted her teaching accordingly. I’m particularly grateful for her passion and energy. She takes time to prepare interesting and varied lessons. I make no hesitation in recommending Xirong to others.
From My
I've had 5 lessons with Xirong and have found her to be friendly, organised and a professional tutor. She invites you to suggest topics to focus on for your next lesson if that's something you'd like to do. Would recommend.
From Katherine
Xirong is a very patient and thoughtful teacher. Her lessons are well structured, and there are plenty of opportunities to practise vocabulary in a safe space. She adjusts the pace of her classes well to support the needs of her student and takes the time to understand why you want to learn the language to ensure full commitment to learning. I have had three Cantonese lessons with Xirong now and I am starting to feel much more confident in my ability and pronunciation (I hope Xirong agrees!)
If you are looking to learn Cantonese or Mandarin, I would strongly recommend choosing Xirong as your teacher.
I totally agree. You are such a fast learner, only three hours of lessons make you as if you have been living in Hong Kong for at least one month. Well done!
From Isabelle
We have only had 1 class so far, but I think the group enjoyed the session. I am sure I will be able to give more detailed feedback at a later stage.
From Aaron
Very good teacher, well organised lessons, would definitely recommend!
From Lillian
My grandson is 17 years old and dyslexic he has never studied a foreign language before starting Mandarin. He is very keen to do Chinese studies at university so decided to start Mandarin lessons to give himself a better chance of being accepted on the course. He has enjoyed his lessons with Xirong very much and is making excellent progress. Xirong explains everything in a clear patient manner and my grandson feels that she is an excellent teacher.
From Paul
I’ve only had a couple of lessons, but so far Xirong has been enthusiastic and helpful enough that I want to book more sessions with her.
From Kathleen
Xirong has been most helpful in preparing my son for his forthcoming GCSE Mandarin exam. She is very thorough in her teaching.
From Oliver
Xirong is a fantastic tutor who takes time to plan her lessons extremely well and provide high quality resources. I have enjoyed my lessons so far and look forward to continuing learning with her. Thank you very much!
From Clair
Xirong has marked several written papers promptly and thoroughly, giving very helpful suggestions and feedback. We are looking forward to continuing to work with Xirong in the run-up to the exams in November.

From Jisun
Very professional and organised. I had lessons from her for 2 months and am currently having a break for work, I will come back to her for sure to learn Chinese again.
From Jennifer
We started our children (aged 3 and 5) with Xirong for Mandarin lessons after we moved back to the UK from Singapore (where they had previously been learning it). We have been so impressed with Xirong's teaching. She is patient and kind, and the children are not only progressing well with their Mandarin, but having fun too. They are always eager to go to their lessons, and come back from every one full of energy and enthusiasm.
From Russell
Friendly, professional and encouraging. My son is thoroughly enjoying his lessons.
From Caroline
Clear and focused tutor who has an excellent approach to teaching my son. Very happy and I would recommend this tutor.
