Invaluable for My Practice

I am studying Chinese with Shelley to further improve my communication skills in my role as a doctor. Shelley is highly knowledgeable and a great teacher.

She not only addresses my learning needs well but often expands on topics to improve my cultural understanding and communication with my Chinese patients, which is invaluable for my practice.

Shelley is an engaging teacher and I always enjoy our lessons. Would highly recommend her!

Communicate Effectively

Shelley is the ideal teacher for healthcare professionals seeking to acquire Mandarin language skills. Her lessons are not only enjoyable and stimulating but also provide a challenge.

Shelley designs her lessons to enhance medical Mandarin vocabulary, and I've already noticed a significant improvement in my ability to communicate with Mandarin-speaking patients.

In addition to her teaching skills, she is an excellent listener, an exceptionally kind and patient individual, and any student would be fortunate to have her as their tutor.

Tailored and Taught to My Level

I have been learning Chinese with Shelley for the last few months as I really need to improve my language skills for work as a doctor.

It has been an absolute joy. Her experience really shines through in her ability to tailor and teach to my level and keep all the lessons and vocabulary relevant.

She has always been so encouraging, I couldn’t recommend her more. Looking forward to future lessons!

Improve the Patient Experience

Working in a hospital means meeting patients from diverse backgrounds on a daily basis. In most Metropolitan Sydney hospitals, many patients are of Chinese heritage, and it is not uncommon to meet a Chinese patient who does not speak English. For these patients, being hospitalized is often scary and isolating.

Identifying this issue during medical school is what spurred a fellow junior doctor friend and I to engage in Chinese lessons with Shelley to improve our ability to communicate with Chinese-speaking patients and their families.

Shelley’s lessons have been focused on improving our medical vocabulary and our ability to translate between Chinese and English both efficiently and accurately.

Over the past two years, Shelley has helped me to improve my Chinese language ability beyond a conversational beginners level, to the point where I am able to communicate confidently with patients who do not speak English. I have found this to be not only useful in a rapidly paced healthcare environment, but also immensely rewarding as it improves the patient experience.

Shelley is highly knowledgeable in specific medical terminology that even native Chinese speakers may not encounter in their everyday conversation.

Her lessons are individualized and focused on growing your confidence. Her teaching style makes lessons both encouraging and fun. With Shelley’s approach, learning Chinese has become a hobby of mine, rather than a chore.
