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!

She’s brilliant and friendly and is amazing as a teacher

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! :)

Hillary is really well versed and is very helpful in educating

She’s an absolutely brilliant teacher always looking forward to every single lesson
