" Xiao Zhou is a excellent Chinese teacher. She is considerate, patient and caring. I have found her to be professional in all our dealings and would have no hesitation in recommending her to other people wishing to learn Chinese "

" I am a conference interpreter so I am not a novice to learning languages. Xiao Zhou has the great ability to adapt precisely to my level, she can adjust the speed with which she speaks and her vocabulary so that I have to make an effort but I am still able to follow. She can explain Chinese grammar in Chinese in a way that I can understand but in the rare event that it should be necessary she also has perfect command of English. She is always well prepared and at the end sends me her notes which is very useful for revision. She is 100% reliable - mathematically speaking, not just metaphorically. All this gives me the impression that I am working with a professional who cares passionately about her work and her results. Xiao Zhou is the best Chinese teacher I have ever worked with. "
