Jie is a star teacher, your best bet to learn Chinese. Her teaching style is adaptive, motivational and focused on guiding the learner toward steady progress in linguistic and cultural fluency. Signing up for her classes was the best decision I made. I recommend her without reservation. Learning Chinese is never going to be easy, but the journey will go faster and be more rewarding if you have Jie as your guide.

Jie is a remarkable person. Not only she teaches well but she also care about her students. I have a really tight schedule and had cancelled and rescheduled my classes so many times. She never complained.

The passion she has towards teaching is undeniable. She gives classes until midnight. For me, it was really helpful considering the jet lag.

She makes learning enjoyable! She doesn’t just stick the books, she also gives extra vocabulary (according to your situation), she explains the culture of the country etc.

I started the classes 2 years ago with a really beginner level. Now I feel a lot more comfortable. I am able to understand normal conversations at normal speed. It is all thanks to her.

Jie makes learning Mandarin for my 10 year old daughter fun and engaging. She is kind, patient and professional. We wanted Jie to help our daughter with conversational Mandarin - sh makes teaching topics interesting and relevant to keep her engaged. I have no hesitation in recommending Jie to anyone who would like to learn Mandarin

Right after completing my trial lesson with Jie I knew that she was perfect for me. I needed structure in my sessions so we’ve been going through different topics every lesson. She also keeps a record of the lesson so you can always go back and reflect on them as well as have access to the HSK PDF and workbook which has been helpful for me to go through throughout the week. I look forward to my lessons with her because of her fun personality and her ability to make the lesson engaging. She’s not just a teacher, she’s also your friend

I am writing to highly recommend teacher Jie. As a former student of her, I had the privilege of learning Chinese language from her.

JIE taught me HSK level 1 at Nottingham University Confucius Institute.
I had not been in a formal classroom environment for over 20 years so I was nervous.
It turns out I should not have been worried.
JIE immediately made me feel welcome and her positive, warm attitude helped our group bond together.
JIE not only taught well but made it also enjoyable.
Not only will you learn well but smile while you are learning.

Jie goes above and beyond the expectations of a tutor, responding to each question asked with examples and details, ensuring the students all understand before moving on. Classes are engaging and entertaining and always aimed at the appropriate level of the student. Jie has made my HSK1 experience fantastic. I highly recommend her as a teacher to any seeking to learn Mandarin.

Jie Chen has helped me achieve excellent results in Mandarin HSK2 and motivated me to continue my journey learning Mandarin.

Based at Nottingham CI she has maintained high professional teaching standards at all times.

I and my fellow students will be sad when she returns to her home country.

Jie has been a phenomenal Chinese teacher!! Her lessons are thoughtfully planned and she always makes sure to incorporate some fun learning games to make learning much more engaging.

But also she makes sure her students make progress in learning. Jie is a teacher who is always available to answer any questions. I greatly recommend Jie as a Mandarin teacher.

I highly recommend Jie as she is a fantastic Teacher. Highly organised and professional. She is there when you need her. I know her as she is my former Chinese Teacher. She helped me get to HSK3.

Jie was my Mandarin Chinese teacher while I studied at the University of Nottingham’s Confucius Institute.

I greatly enjoyed my lessons with her; she was a very personable and engaging teacher. Jie is highly organized and consistently punctual. She conducted her lessons with great enthusiasm, and it was obvious she was passionate about sharing her knowledge of Mandarin and Chinese culture. Additionally, Jie possesses extensive knowledge of the HSK curriculum and could guide me through the exam requirements at each level. She showed great flexibility and adaptability with her lessons, tailoring them to develop the areas of Mandarin I needed the most improvement in.

Among the five Mandarin teachers I have had, Jie has been the most engaging and hardworking. Therefore, I would highly recommend Jie to anyone who wants to learn Mandarin.
