I am enjoying lessons with Hilary! After a few lessons with her, I was so impressed by her teaching style and patience that I decided to enrol my 7-year-old son as well. We’re both thoroughly enjoying our lessons. Hilary has a calm, encouraging approach that makes learning feel fun and manageable. She’s great at adjusting her teaching to suit different learning styles and ages. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to learn Cantonese and Mandarin, whether for themselves or their children!

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!

Such a great teacher, really takes time to explain the concepts and extremely patient

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! :)

Hilary is a great teacher for my 10 year old kids. She offers clear instructions and is very patient in guiding them through the lesson. She is very likable and my kids enjoy the lessons.

She’s brilliant as always
