Award winning Mandarin teacher with 20 years teaching experience in universities and secondary schools in the UK, China and South Korea. Master’s degree in International Chinese Education and PGCE.

Lucy taught my three children the basics of Mandarin over the summer. She was very engaging and enthusiastic and they loved their lessons with her!
They didn’t just learn the language but about the culture too. I would highly recommend her.

Lucy is an excellent tutor who is always organised, patient, and supportive. She creates a relaxed and encouraging learning environment, making lessons both enjoyable and productive.

She genuinely cares about her students’ progress and is always well prepared. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a friendly, professional, and effective tutor.

I have studied with Lucy from my first steps in Chinese at the beginner level to advanced HSK 5, and I can heartily recommend her as a fantastic teacher! She prepares great lessons, is attentive to her students' needs, is excellent at facilitating discussion and student participation in the classroom, and is always looking for ways to further improve students' experience based on feedback. I have very much enjoyed learning Chinese with her and would recommend her as a teacher to others. Lucy's excellent teaching was also instrumental in helping me pass the HSK 5 exam, for which I am very grateful. Lucy also gives excellent feedback on Chinese speaking, I feel like my speaking skills improved a lot through her lessons.

Lucy is an exceptional teacher very patient and meticulous in her approach. Her teaching methods really make learning Chinese fun. I started from basic to advanced in a space of 2 years. I can’t rate her highly enough. Thank you

Lucy was a great teacher with friendly, yet no-nonsense attitude. She always worked hard to make the lesson content as close to the students' needs and interests as possible.

I did one to one Mandarin lessons for a couple of years with Lucy and thoroughly enjoyed them.

She moved at the pace I wanted and needed, was great at explaining concepts and providing clear examples, and shared all course materials and presentations, so I could review and go over them again in my own time or revise. She remained accessible and responsive outside of classes, too, if I had the odd question or confusion I needed help with.

I would recommend Lucy and would use her again for my own Chinese learning if and when I’m able to start lessons again.
