Hillary Yip 锶雅

I've been learning Chinese together with Hillary for about a year. All this time she's been an absolutely great teacher, always well-prepared, easy-going, patient and understanding, with extremely helpful personalized advice and additional materials. Every time we have a lesson, we have a lot of fun, which makes learning Chinese feel like a trip to the amusement park :D I definitely recommend her to anyone who's interested in learning this, or in fact any language! :)

Good structure. I liked it

She’s a brilliant teacher. Always look forward to the lessons always

Hillary is hands-down the best teacher I've had on italki, she might even be the best teacher I've had for anything ever. Hillary's really good at keeping the conversation fun and spontaneous - even when I'm stumbling through the language - and she's helped me massively improve my comprehension, speaking and vocabulary. Hillary's fluency in English and skill at explaining concepts and meanings (in any language) is super helpful when I have more detailed questions or if I switch to English to say something. When Hillary gives homework it's always interesting, and she has great vocab and grammar write-ups for heaps of Chinese short videos - my favourite so far is about Ding Zhen's World in Tibet. Also, if I need more time, Hillary's very chill about taking an extra week or so to study and discuss the homework, which helps me get a better grasp of the vocab and structures. If you're looking for a Chinese teacher, I can't recommend Hillary enough!

Superb tutor who is considerate and caters to my son's interests. Hillary uses lots of engaging activities that captures my son's attention in lessons.

Very experienced, engaging and natural lesson. Understands English perfectly, so we are able to bridge the gap in communication when needed. Can highly recommend (especially for English speakers).
