China Unbound — Local services in London

I have studied with China Unbound for nearly a year with one to one tuition with Grace. I came to her as I study mandarin at university as a part of my degree but found the course content lacked a focus on speaking and listening. Since studying with Grace my speaking ability has come on in leaps and bounds, from someone who could barely string a sentence together to being able to hold nearly 20 minutes of conversation at the start of every session. Furthermore, she has been amazing at helping me fully comprehend the grammar points taught in university lessons and has provided a number of brilliant resources to supplement my learning. Grace supported me through all of my university assessment preparation and while I have now finished university I have already signed up for some of their group classes over summer to continue my studies. I would not be close to the level I am today without these sessions which have really helped increase my familiarity with the language. Grace has been absolutely wonderful and I cannot recommend her or China...

I've been studying with China Unbound for 2 years now. I started knowing absolutely nothing, and in my last lesson we were discussing mental health and the perils of sitting in front of a computer for too long each day!!! Wow! :) I like the structure of the lessons, there's an opportunity to practice free form talking (initially talking about your week, then with specific subjects as you get more advanced) followed by the grammar points, followed by reading and understanding the text for the week. The teachers have all been great, as have my fellow students. (谢谢大家!) If you want to have fun, yet still learn Chinese then give China Unbound a go.. :)

Update at the 4 year mark, and I've just started HSK5! Its been a really interesting and enjoyable journey, with some excellent 老师 and some fun 同学们 :) Looking forward to getting better...

Alfie being a BBC who wanted to improve his Cantonese and reconnect with his Chinese roots and Jo being native English wanting to learn basic Cantonese, we decided to do something about it and take up one-on-one virtual Cantonese classes during lockdown in February with Grace.

We’re really glad we did as we’ve enjoyed our experience with her! Grace has all the qualities of a fantastic teacher: friendly, patient and much more. She has a great approach, tailoring lessons to our own personal objectives and managing to strike the right balance between our different levels of knowledge of Cantonese. We also appreciate her digital teaching style, using Google sheets during our Zoom classes as another visual resource to help our learning. We would highly...
