I would highly highly recommend Shelley from Chinese for Professionals. Honestly I think it's been transformational for me.I have been in China for 15 years and have been learning Chinese on and off for a lot of that time but reached a plateau, or comfort level and struggled to find a teacher who I wanted to stick with.Shelley has been incredible; patient, encouraging, and great at balancing new words and existing knowledge together in a way that is actually useful for your current situation.

Shelley is one of the best Chinese language teachers you'll find in Sydney! She keeps every lesson interesting with contemporary topics, new methods of instilling content and vocabulary, and novel ways for us to practice.Her friendly and sociable personality makes lessons with her all the more enjoyable, providing opportunities to learn the language not just from the chosen topics but also from a series of fun conversations.In addition, she goes the extra mile as a teacher by putting in effort for her students even beyond lessons. One example of this thoughtfulness is how she forms a community among the students in her various classes, such as by organising gatherings.I would highly recommend Shelley as a teacher who is unparalleled in the dedication and time she gives her teaching and her students.Thanks Shelley! - Clarence

I have been learning Chinese with Shelley for over a year now. Shelley is very friendly, patient, and teaches with passion. Class with her is never boring as she tries to mix things up through different teaching methods, making it easy to attend class every week. I would highly recommend her to anyone interested in learning the language.

Private lessons with Shelley were such fun and have been incredibly helpful! Tailored to my level, learning pace, and intended use (speaking to parents colloquially). She really focused on my weaknesses and testing them again and again until they were ready. She was flexible and incredibly accommodating of my schedule. Would thoroughly recommend!!

Shelley is an exceptional Chinese language teacher! Her extensive knowledge of the language and culture, combined with her passion for teaching, makes every class both enjoyable and fruitful. The lessons have always been carefully crafted to meet my individual objectives and goals. I have been fortunate enough to be a student of Shelley's for several years and have seen significant growth in my Chinese language abilities. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a skilled and dedicated teacher.

Chinese classes with Shelley are a highlight of my weekend. Her energetic and passionate teaching style, patience and knowledge of the language contribute to a highly enjoyable class. Her classes are not ‘textbook-style’ at all, rather they are fluid and adapted to whatever the latest news or socio political issues are. I have really enjoyed learning from Shelley and would recommend her as a teacher.

Shelley is an amazing teacher who is very patient, adaptable and challenging. She has helped me learn so much in just a single term.I have been working with Shelley for the past four months and have been very impressed with her teaching abilities. Not only is she incredibly knowledgeable about the Chinese language, but she is also patient and able to explain complex concepts in a way that is easy for me to understand - especially when teaching me so many new characters!One of the things I appreciate most about Shelley is her ability to tailor her lessons to my needs and goals. She is always willing to go above and beyond to help me succeed, whether it be by providing extra practice and homework materials or staying later to answer my questions.Overall, I highly recommend Shelley to anyone looking to learn Chinese no matter what level you are beginning from.
