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! :)

Great teacher. Very patient and enjoys taking the time to help me learn. Best of the best.

Quite possibly the most patient instructor I have had the pleasure of learning from. I enjoy her methods and professionalism so much. Can’t wait for the next lesson.

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!

Hillary is a great teacher! Engaging and friendly, and using a variety of tools to help the student learn!

She has a wonderful teaching style. Lots of resources to help you learn. Very easy to learn from
