5. What my previous students say about me
__The best choice to whom seeking a Professional, Educated and Friendly tutor. Becky is an extremely good Chinese teacher and I continue to have lessons with her to this day. She is very flexible and enthusiastic and has a very good teaching style! I believe that her system has been much more effective than a large majority of tutors that I`ve used in the past. What is especially good about her is that she is patient. I feel I am the type of person that takes a little longer to learn things. Becky`s instructions to help me understand the core basics has given me a foundation in which I am able to practically learn on my own. I have to say that it is worth the effort, time, and money put into the sessions with her. Heydar Naghiyev (Consultant from Kalido Private Office)

__-Studying mandarin with Becky was a really valuable experience. I found the one-to-one style of learning the best way to make solid progress in the language and Becky’s teaching style was very thorough and engaging. Becky helped me to be well-prepared for my HSK 3 examination and achieve 99% in this exam. I would certainly recommend Becky as a mandarin teacher to anyone who is dedicated and committed to learning the language. Lisa Richer (student from Cambridge University)

If you are looking for a proper, qualified and highly experienced tutor and you are a serious learner, I will be the right person to help. Looking forward to hearing from you soon!
