6 years Chinese teaching experience / Certified Chinese teacher / HSK Invigilator / worked in Cambodia and the UK as a Chinese teacher / TCSOL

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. Throughout my time under her guidance, I observed not only her exceptional knowledge and expertise but also her unwavering dedication to their students' growth and success.

Teacher Jie consistently displayed a strong passion for teaching. She possess a remarkable ability to tailor their teaching methods to suit the diverse needs of different students, ensuring that each one maximizes their potential.

One of her most distinctive qualities is their approachable and friendly nature. They establish a positive rapport with us students, making me feel comfortable expressing my thoughts and seeking guidance when needed. This not only enhances the classroom experience, but it also encourages students to participate actively in discussions, resulting in a more engaged and interactive learning atmosphere.

Beyond her exceptional classroom instruction, she demonstrates a tireless commitment to student success. She goes above and beyond to provide additional support outside of regular classroom hours, whether through one-on-one tutoring sessions, providing valuable feedback on assignments.

In summary, I believe that teacher Jie is a wonderful educator. Her ability to foster a positive learning environment, coupled with her exceptional teaching strategies, I have no doubt that she will continue to positively impact the lives of students.

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.

She is extremely patient, helpful and kind.

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. Speaking of engagement, she always ensures that everyone takes part in a lesson by asking them questions and offering constructive feedback. I had an amazing time being taught by Jie and feel that I improved a lot thanks to her!

Jie taught me Chinese for several years, and she proved to be an excellent instructor. She was patient, kind, and extremely supportive. I recommend her to anyone who appreciates a gentle and generous approach to language learning. She is more than capable of adjusting to the learning tempo and interests of any student, and her knowledge of Chinese language and culture is impeccable.

Jie is not only a fantastic Mandarin teacher but also a very likelable person!
I had a pleasure to be taught by her at Nottingham Confucius Institute and I enjoyed my lessons a lot. Jie always makes sure that her lessons are funny and full of useful information. 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.
