Rachel

Each lesson with Rachel is a pleasure. She is always prepared and takes her job seriously, but every lesson is also relaxed and personal. If I'm focused, we can progress quickly; if I'm struggling, Rachel takes more time to go over things in a variety of ways until I get it. Learning a new language will always be a challenge, but with Rachel helping me, I feel a lot more confident that someday I’ll finally get there.

Rachel is a very supportive teacher and is always very well prepared. She sends me an article to read before the class and then we go through it together. We also have free flowing discussion in which she helps me with any unknown vocabulary. I really enjoy my lessons with Rachel. Rachel is very punctual and has a great internet connection, so that our lessons can proceed smoothly.

Finding the right tutor has been essential in improving my Mandarin comprehension—and I’m incredibly grateful to have found Rachel. I’ve completed over 20 sessions with her, and throughout that time, she’s shown incredible patience, creativity, and resourcefulness in adapting the material to meet me where I am. Her teaching style strikes a great balance between textbook work, conversational practice, and homework exercises, making each lesson both structured and engaging. Thank you Rachel!

Rachel was very good and very well prepared. I am a complete beginner - she made sure that my tones were correct, taught me several useful phrases, and explained the words behind the phrases.

Amazing first lesson with Rachel. I felt very comfortable and came out the lesson with motivation to keep learning.

Rachel is an amazing teacher. She is very patient with me and assists with understanding Chinese on every level.
