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!

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.

6 weeks before my planned trip to China, I took lessons with Ria Zhang, and it was really incredible. She helped me prepare, she gave me confidence in speaking more, and most importantly, she made me feel like a can actually learn this language. Very supporting, very friendly, very patient. I highly, highly recommend anyone to take lessons from her. When I am back from China and have practiced what I have learned with the locals, I will definitely continue with my Chinese learning journey with her. :)

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.

Teacher Ria is a wonderful conversation partner. If you want to improve your ability to speak Chinese and acquire new vocabulary in your areas of interest, Teacher Ria should be your first choice.

Teacher Ria is really skilled at bringing interesting subjects to the sessions. These subjects lead to vocabulary and some grammar work.
