About Xiao
I am a Beijing-born Chinese, graduated from Peking University, and have lived and worked in the UK for over 25 years. I work in a college and a private school as a Mandarin teacher. On weekends, I teach Mandarin at a Chinese school for adults and children, and I provide private lessons in my spare time. I am familiar with the Mandarin curriculum taught in UK schools and colleges, and have in-depth knowledge of the exam specifications, structure and techniques.
My students range in age from 10 years old to GCSE, A-levels, and HSK at all levels, including individuals working in the business sector. I am a GCSE specialist, targeting grades 8–9 upon requirement, with tailored writing and speaking practice. I'm very proud and happy to have helped my students pass their GCSE and HSK exams and achieve their goals in life.
In my lesson, I interact with my students, encouraging them to talk and practice all the time, helping them to improve their pronunciation and use of phrases. I customise the lessons according to individual interests and needs.

I’m a very patient and adaptable person, always have a smile on my face. Understanding cultural differences and the challenges of learning a second language, I strive to make the process accessible and memorable, helping students build confidence and retain what they learn. In my lessons, I teach using a variety of multimedia such as YouTube, animations, or videos, and discuss a range of interesting topics. I focus on teaching the most useful words and expressions in real-life situations and sharing opinions with you in a relaxed conversation.
Here’s the feedback from one of my privately tutored students: Rating: 5/5 Comments: Xiao (Susie) has been an excellent tutor for my teenage daughter who is taking lessons in Mandarin for beginners. Xiao is friendly, reliable and a talented teacher. Her lessons are engaging; she's patient and encouraging. Between lessons she regularly follows up with links for additional learning. Xiao has been highly professional from the start and I'm delighted that we found her.
Review
All of our reviews are collected by us and are 100% reliable. They correspond to a real experience lived by students with Xiao.
Perfect! We love Xiao! We're doing IGCSE Chinese lessons. She's really kind, warm, engaged and encouraging. At the same time, she's very well prepared, the lessons are very efficient and she is familiar with the exams. We are attempting the GCSE in one year and she has helped us break down the required work across this period. I feel like we're in good hands and I can relax. Very many thanks!
Perfect! Ms. Susie is a very responsible and dedicated teacher. She first assessed my daughter’s ability and identified the areas where she lacked confidence, then tailored a learning plan to address those needs. She also explained the learning direction clearly to us as parents, which we really appreciate. Although my daughter has only had a few lessons so far, she is already very happy with Ms. Susie’s teaching. Highly recommended!

I have been learning Mandarin with Xiao for the past two years and have made tremendous progress. I passed my GCSE exam and reached an advanced level in Mandarin. I began working with Xiao after searching for an experienced tutor, and she exceeded my expectations. Her teaching style is patient, engaging, and tailored to my individual needs and pace. She uses a variety of interactive resources throughout the lessons, making each session both enjoyable and informative. I highly recommend Xiao to anyone seeking a skilled and supportive Mandarin tutor.
