Wilma

I've been studying with Wilma for the past 4 years, and she has significantly improved my Chinese abilities in all areas - speaking, writing, reading, and listening. Her teaching methods are highly effective and she is incredibly dedicated to teaching, patiently explains my misconceptions, encourages me to use Chinese beyond the classroom and helps me even outside class via Skype! She was particularly helpful in preparing me for my GCSE Chinese examination, where I achieved a Level 9 (the highest grade possible)! I couldn't have done it this without her guidance and support in these past few years! Incredibly grateful for her teaching over these years!

I've had quite a few Cantonese lessons with Wilma now so feel like I've got enough experience to write a review...I really enjoyed my initial trial lesson with Wilma and went through many many profiles before going ahead with her. Right after I had my trial session I bought a pack of classes because I was confident that I would enjoy continuing my classes. My Cantonese is at upper beginner/intermediate and I sought iTalki to improve my conversational skills. Wilma has been very accommodating to my needs (what and how I want to learn) and creates a great environment for me to speak, ask questions, and learn. I've committed to taking lessons on a weekly basis for 45 min and hope that I can reach my goal of speaking very comfortably with my family when I go to HK next year :)

It was just a trial so I can't provide a full review, but so far Wilma seemed very helpful, structured and organised; it is clear she has a lot of experience in teaching!

Wilma is fantastic - I've been working with her a couple years already. I am a native Cantonese speaker born to an immigrant family. I am bilingual but not biliterate. Wilma is great because not only does she know written Chinese, she knows jyutping too which is really what I was looking for in a teacher since my goal is to learn jyutping first. Next, Wilma is very adaptable and mixes up our lessons from vocab, to demo/feedback, to free flow conversation. I think she's fantastic and welcome anyone else to partner with her!

Wilma is an amazing cantonese teacher. It is especially helpful that she has an amazing mastery of both English and Mandarin as well, which helps when there are vocab words or grammar structures that are hard to translate. She is very patient and makes the lesson super fun! Moreover, she has been very flexible with scheduling! Lastly, we spent about half of our lessons translating popular Cantopop songs, which I found so helpful and was something I don't think I would be able to do on my own. Thank you so much Wilma!

Thanks for an enjoyable lesson ☺️
