About Jessica
Hi there! I'm Jessica - (杰西卡 Jiéxīkǎ)
Chinese is one of my biggest passions—I decided to take my first Chinese course at Stellenbosch University, and the rest was history. By the time I graduated, majoring in Chinese, I had been to China three times, participated in international language competitions, and reached HSK 5 (汉语水平考试五级).
At first, learning Chinese felt like an uphill battle, but by the end of my degree, I could write the infamous biáng biáng noodle character (58 strokes) from memory. Nowadays, I tutor English-first-language students learning Chinese, teach English to Chinese students, and challenge myself by learning the hardest traditional characters (繁体字 fántǐzì) just for fun!
One of my deepest passions is helping second language learners feel confident tackling something incredibly challenging, giving you the support to push yourself, and building skills that will benefit you exponentially—whether applying for jobs, making friends, or traveling to one of my favorite places in the world.

Are you a university student confused about tones, stroke order, or how to study Chinese without endless memorization? I know the struggle, and I can help you with practical, systematic support to have you reading Chinese without relying on Pinyin in no time.
I hold an HSK 5 (汉语水平考试五级) in Mandarin Chinese, and can help you tackle character lists, tone memorization, and Chinese listening tasks with confidence. Together we can strategize, break down your assigned syllabus, improve memory and Chinese-specific study habits, and get comfortable with confidently communicating that someone is your mother (妈妈 māma) and not your horse (马 mǎ).
Additionally, I love to talk about the latest Chinese animes, which province has the best hotpot, and exploring the rich history and culture behind one of the world's most challenging second languages to take in a non-Chinese speaking country.
I'm here to help you on your exciting journey—加油! (Jiāyóu!) Good luck—you've got this, so don’t give up!

Perfect! Lǎoshī Jessica is the teacher tha I was looking for. We did the first class and she genually heard what I say and my dificulties - and I have a lot, however she lessened my fear and worry of being unable to leran Mandarin. Jessica is also open minded with a style teach that it's not tradicional, acctualy it's more free. I appreciate that about her! I'm really looking forward to the next classes with teacher Jessica!

Perfect! Jessica is an exceptional teacher! She brings a magical, 'teaching fairy' energy to the lesson while maintaining a very impressive, tailored structure. She took the time to truly map out my learning needs during our first session, and her approach is clearly professional and thoughtful. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a teacher who truly 'gets' their students! Thank you, Jessica .

Jessica helped explain difficult concepts in a way my brain needed it. I have more of a practical learning style and often struggle to learn things in the boxes of education. Jessica helped me to find ways that work for my brain - giving me the broader concept in order to understand the smaller units I was meant to learn. I saw immense improvement with just one or two sessions. It led to increased confidence in terms of my work and made going to class less daunting, because I felt in control. I am grateful till this day!
We have known Jessica for over a year, beginning when my child attended English and middle school subject training courses at an institution in Cavendish, Cape Town. Jessica has a gentle personality and treats her students with kindness and patience. Her teaching is clear, well-structured, and demonstrates her broad knowledge.
Beyond strengthening my child’s language skills, Jessica also introduced academic subjects such as the periodic table of chemical elements. Impressively, she is fluent in several languages, including Chinese. With her guidance, my child’s grades improved significantly, and she gained much more confidence in his schoolwork.
I highly recommend Jessica as a private tutor for her professionalism, warmth, and ability to inspire students to achieve their best.I met Jessica at Cape Town School of English, where she was my ESL teacher. She is patient, kind, and very professional. Her lessons are clear and engaging, and she always makes students feel comfortable and confident when speaking English. I truly improved my English thanks to her teaching and support. I highly recommend Jessica to anyone who wants to learn English in a positive and motivating environment.
I would recommend Jess to anyone , who wants special attention ,being challenged , having a debate and sharing thoughts.She helps me a lot from my own experience.So she is clearly the one.
