I had my first Chinese lesson on this app and felt so nervous beforehand since I haven’t studied in years. However, I had a lot of fun chatting with her and liked how it was basically free flow conversation, with her making corrections and writing down any vocabulary words. I’m looking forward to taking more classes!

Elena has been an outstanding Mandarin teacher for our children. When they first started, neither of my children could carry a conversation in Mandarin—but now, they both speak fluently with extensive vocabulary for their age. This spring, after 2.5 years of studying with Elena, my 11-year-old daughter passed HSK3. Also this spring, my 8-year-old son passed YCT3 after learning with her for less than 2 years. As a Japanese-American family, we never imagined a day where our kids would become fluent Mandarin speakers—and this magic is all thanks to Elena. She is incredibly effective, organized, meticulous, and consistent in her teaching. While she provides structured, formal lessons, she’s also wonderfully flexible, mixing in videos and fun conversations to keep the kids engaged. She is truly a gifted teacher, and we’re so grateful for everything she has done for our children.

Elena is the best Mandarin teacher on planet. My daughter just passed YCT4 after only two years of studying with Elena. She did not speak Mandarin when she started but is now able to take lessons with her without using my English. She is able to converse with her Chinese friends in fluent Mandarin, and it feels unreal. My 7-year-old son who is with Elena for one year is also learning quickly, and he loves learning Mandarin with Elena. Thank you so much Elena! We are beyondc grateful.
