XirongFrom Mark (5/5): 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 (/5): 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 Connor (/5): 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 (/5): 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 (/5): 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 (/5): 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!)

Reply from: Xirong: 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 (/5): 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 (/5): Very good teacher, well organised lessons, would definitely recommend!
From Lillian (/5): 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.
