About Victoria
Hello! I specialise in tutoring languages (French, English and Chinese) and I also tutor History. I have a huge passion for the arts and my hobbies and education have always revolved around this area, with an interest in the business world too. I studied in the UK, France, Switzerland, and the United States and I started tutoring after completing my bachelor's degree. I love helping my students progress and achieve their learning objectives- aiding the academic, intellectual and personal growths of my students are highlights of my tutoring experience, not to mention my own growth as a tutor thanks to my students!
My Education Background:
I did my A Levels in French, History, Geography and Chinese at Canford School in Dorset and I graduated from King's College London with a BA in French and Management in 2017. During my year abroad at King's, I completed a six-month study exchange at ESSEC Paris, studying French and Business, and another six months at Université de Genève reading French Literature and Philosophy. Languages aside, I also completed an MA in Art Business at Sotheby's Institute of Art in 2019, where I also studied Contemporary Art in New York for a semester exchange. I recently completed my PGD Certificate in Chinese Art at SOAS in London.
When not tutoring, I like to take the time to enjoy art, cinema and literature, and I also love sharing yoga with my friends and students.
Tutoring Experience:
I am a CELTA-certified teacher with 4 years of teaching experience. Since 2017, I have tutored over 120 students and I specialise in languages and in helping UK students with GCSE and A Levels exam preparations for French, Chinese and History. My clients are based in London, Paris, Hong Kong and Shanghai; ranging from as young as 6 to adult learners. In 2019, I also tutored at a private tutorial centre in Hong Kong for current and prospective pupils in the UK.
Subjects I have been tutoring:
• French - Beginner to Advanced Levels, GCSE and A Levels Preparation
• Chinese - Beginner to Intermediate Levels, HSK Exam Preparation
• English - Beginner to Advanced Levels, IELTS and TOEFL Exam Preparation
• History - GCSE and A Levels Preparation
General Tutoring Approach:
Language classes are generally structured around speaking, listening and reading with writing tasks set as homework. Geography and History classes are structured around case studies and source analyses, with note-making and essay writing tasks set as homework. None of my students share the same learning programme - everyone has a different learning style, so I tailor my sessions according to my students' individual interests and needs. I use various academic resources and learning materials readily available in the market in my classes, as well as my own original materials sourced from classic and contemporary literature and media. I aim to deliver relevant and empowering learning results, focusing on critical thinking, creativity, and self-development.
For Exam Preparation:
Note-making, past papers revision as well as quizzes are the main focuses for my exam preparation sessions. Having experienced both Asian and Western education systems and studied for their exams, I am honoured to share comprehensive and effective studying techniques.
For Leisure or Business:
Classes are theme-based and split between oral, reading and listening comprehension, whilst working on grammar and pronunciation throughout. I started my journey with French when I was 10 and with Russian four years ago, allowing me to be in my students' shoes as a fellow learner too!
Please do get in touch if you have any questions, tuition rates vary depending on age and level and whether it is in-person or online. I am more than happy to discuss what works best for you and your learning needs!
Free Consultation and Assessment/ 50% off first hour:
I offer a free 30-minute consultation and assessment for us to get to know each other better, and for me to assess your level before we move forward with class. After the assessment, you will have 30-minute taster class to get to know my teaching style and lesson materials.
Late Cancellation Policy: please notify me at least a day in advance to reschedule or cancel, otherwise confirmed lesson will be charged.

Victoria is an exceptional tutor. I started learning Cantonese with no experience whatsoever with my last experience of language learning being years ago so my confidence wasn't high. From the first lesson, she listened, really got what my needs and approach were as a student and was patient, clear and kind. She has a special knack of understanding how you will learn best and then explains in ways that makes everything make sense. She is also very lovely and fun and provides just the right balance of support and challenge. She is a great teacher, very dedicated and whoever you are, I would you say that if you want to learn one of her subjects, just go for it. I couldn't recommend her more highly!
Victoria is a wonderful, compassionate teacher who identifies brilliantly with children and has fun, innovative means of making Mandarin accessible to them. I thoroughly recommend Victoria.
Victoria is teaching my daughter Sienna French to prepare her for her GCSE next year. She is super-organised, friendly and professional and tailored her lessons superbly according to Sienna's strengths and weaknesses. Victoria is very patience with my daughter and she couldn't have ask for a better tutor. We highly recommend Victoria. Sienna has improve so much in her French since starting her lessons with Victoria.
I am delighted to act as referee for Victoria Ng. I have known Victoria for some two years, ever since I began my first French lesson for business purpose in year 2019.
I am running an antique dealership business on my own, and I deal with many French colleagues on almost daily basis. So I thought learning French would be extremely helpful for building a good relationship with my French colleagues. I got to know Victoria via a mutual friend, and that's when I started my journey with learning French.
Victoria is a very patient and experienced tutor. Her lessons are relaxing and at the same time, fullfilling. She is always well-prepared and happy to discuss, answer questions after-class. Her teaching approach is highly practical for adult learners, the content is useful and easy to practice in daily life.Victoria has really helped me improve my French speaking skills and helps me a lot with my pronunciation. In between lesson time she really helpfully sends me interesting and fun reading material in French, which sometimes I have to translate and we discuss it in detail during our lessons, making sure that I have understood everything, and that I am using vocabulary from the text in our discussion. I always enjoy our lessons, thanks Victoria!
Thank you Victoria for teaching me French for 3 years, I got a 9 grade because of you. After taking the tests last year, I still enjoy lessons with her, as I am now studying A-Level French.
Victoria is an excellent tutor. She has helped to my daughter to boost speaking and writing skills in mandarin. At the end of this academic year, she got a 9 ( A*)
Victoria’s timetable is very flexible letting you pick the time that fits you the best. Lesson times can vary from 15 minutes and onwards (to practise speaking multiple times a week), which my daughter find very practical.Victoria Ng worked at our tutorial centre, Ascent Prep, for 6 months from
the beginning of 2019, teaching GCSE History, Geography and French as
one-to-one lessons and group classes.
The feedback from clients was overwhelmingly positive, with students
frequently mentioning Victoria’s passionate and patient teaching style,
which meant they felt pushed to reach their potential whilst being
supported. Working with students with different goals and expectations, as
well as abilities, she was always finding ways to relate challenging
material in a unique and engaging fashion to keep lessons entertaining and
educational. Many parents noticed and appreciated her extra effort and
willingness to go above and beyond, whether it was providing additional
learning materials, wider reading recommendations or insightful feedback.
During Victoria’s employment at our tutorial centre, it was clear to see
that Victoria is an incredibly erudite and compassionate teacher who
demonstrates specialist expertise in arts & humanities subjects and
languages. Beyond her academic competence, Victoria exhibited
professionalism and conscientiousness in the thorough preparation for her
lessons and was a positive, charismatic presence in the office. I have no
hesitation in recommending Victoria as a teacher.I had a very basic understanding of mandarin (HSK1) but wanted to get
fluent before a business trip to Beijing/Chongqing. Victoria in less than 6
months took my skills to another level and even showed me the subtleties
between traditional/simplified business Chinese (Handy if you go to Hong
Kong). She especially helped me with my oral in sharpening my understanding
of intonation nuances and consolidated my comprehension skills with simple
and interesting reading materials.View more recommendations
