Ria Zhang

Ria is fantastic. As language learners, practicing output is hard and basically the biggest reason to work with a tutor on iTalki, and Ria gets this. Ria is a great conversationalist and experienced. Above all, Ria's so patient, even in those moments where you spend 30 seconds trying to stutter out a semi-familiar sentence structure you want to practice.

I enjoyed my class with Teacher Ria. She is very professional. She helped me with my sentences and pronunciation. Her audio is very clear. 谢谢 Ria 老师!

A very nice first lesson with Ria. We talked a lot, she helped me learn new words and phrases and it was an enjoyable, fun experience. She's a very encouraging, professional teacher.

Lovely patient knowledgeable teacher. Always have a bit of a laugh even when we might be discussing heavier topics. Almost 5 years now as her student and I still look forward to have lessons every week.

Ria is my favourite teacher on italki! She is an amazing conversationalist and we haven't run out of things to talk about for 25 lessons so far. If you are looking for a positive and encouraging environment to practice your Chinese, Ria is the best!

After 6 years and coming up for almost 200 lessons. Ria is really more like a friend than a teacher. We talk every week about a variety of topics from 分道扬镳 to 网红打卡地. Conversation never fails to take new and interesting tangents that further my understanding of Chinese language and culture.
