I started learning Chinese with Emily in January 2025, and from the very beginning her teaching style felt warm, flexible, and surprisingly fun. She isn't just a teacher, she's someone I can chat with about daily life, culture, and all kinds of ideas, which makes every lesson feel easy and natural. Before Emily, I'd tried apps and videos, but none of them helped me use Chinese in real conversations. She changed that quickly. Her lessons are practical, relaxed, and genuinely enjoyable — even grammar somehow feels easy when she explains it.

I take lessons with Emily almost every day, and they never feel like lessons, just easy conversations that somehow make my Chinese better every time. If you don't want to learn Chinese from textbooks and would rather talk naturally, discuss real life, or learn through news articles and videos, Emily is a great choice. Her lessons feel more like real conversations than rigid, textbook-style lessons, which makes learning Chinese feel natural and enjoyable instead of forced.

I've really been enjoying my Chinese lessons with Emily. She's enthusiastic, patient, and explains everything in such a clear and friendly way. I also appreciate how organised she is — she always follows up with notes and resources that make it easy to review after class. I especially love how she uses everyday conversations to help me improve my listening and speaking without pressure. The lessons feel relaxed but genuinely effective, and reviewing with her notes afterward makes everything easy to remember. I'd happily recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, enjoyable way to learn Chinese.

I would highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for Chinese lessons that are personal, thoughtful, and truly tailored to the learner. Learning Chinese with Emily has been a relaxed, enjoyable, and genuinely effective experience. She designs each lesson around my personal needs and goals, especially my desire to speak Chinese more naturally with my Chinese-speaking wife and to feel more integrated into her family. She quickly understands where my weaknesses are and we spend focused time working through those areas, while also continuing to develop and maintain the parts of my Chinese that are already strong.

I started learning Chinese because I often work with Chinese-speaking teams in my industry, and I needed a practical, structured way to communicate better. Emily's lessons have been exactly that — clear, detailed, and incredibly well organised. She breaks down grammar in a way that makes sense to me, and always connects new ideas with what we've covered before, which fits perfectly with the way I learn. I especially appreciate how she adapts the lessons to the technical vocabulary I actually use at work. It's rare to find a teacher who can keep things both accurate and easy to understand. If you need Chinese for professional reasons and value precision and structure, Emily is an excellent choice.

For anyone learning Chinese for family or personal connection, I couldn't recommend her more. I wanted to learn Chinese mainly so I could feel closer to my wife and her family, and Emily's lessons have made that possible in a very natural way. We talk a lot about everyday situations, family conversations, and cultural topics, which helps me learn the kind of Chinese I actually hear at home. I also love how relaxed the lessons feel. Emily brings my interests, food, hobbies, and even small stories from my week, into the conversation, and somehow each chat helps the vocabulary stick. Every lesson gives me one more small step toward understanding the language and the culture I'm now part of.

FAQ

Good question.

How does the free trial work?

Pick a 50-minute slot, enter your name and email, and create a password. Emily will meet you on Google Meet — the link arrives by email and lands on both calendars automatically.

How does the subscription work?

Each package renews every 4 weeks via Stripe. You get a set number of lesson credits (4 or 8) at the start of each cycle. All credits in a cycle must be booked before that cycle ends, but the lessons themselves can take place later.

Can I cancel or reschedule a lesson?

Yes — freely up to 12 hours before the lesson. Within 12 hours, you can cancel but the credit is used and Emily is paid in full. Rescheduling inside the 12-hour window isn't available.

What if I want extra lessons in a cycle?

You can add a one-off extra lesson anytime. It applies only to the current cycle and won't auto-repeat the next.
