TESTIMONIALS

We are very satisfied with the Chinese lessons. They are going great!

Yan is able to transfer a feeling for the language and culture in an enjoyable, playful way. We have great communication, and both my daughter and I are extremely happy with the courses.

I had private one-on-one lessons with Yan every week for six months. Each lesson was an hour and a half. In my first class, we discussed how best to approach the lessons, what would be most effective. As I wanted to focus on speaking and enhancing my vocabulary, we spent around half of all class time chatting about current events [highly relevant to my profession], sometimes including the material of my textbook.

We would talk about the weather, public transportation and even international politics. Whenever necessary, we would focus on specific vocabulary and expressions. Yan also took the time to correct my grammar exercises and weekly ‘homework’ done between lessons, and we would discuss areas in which I could improve during class. We also spent time on Chinese proverbs, which figure in the Chinese language in a major way.

In general, Yan gave me valuable reflections during class time while at the same time providing sufficient material for study between our meetings, without any extra pressure.

I really enjoyed the atmosphere of our classes. She is a great, caring teacher. I can only recommend her teaching to anyone seriously wanting to improve his/her Chinese.

I have only the best to say about the lessons of Ms. Wang. My Chinese is getting better with every single lesson.
