Amazing teacher, I was nervous to practice but she made me feel very comfortable and encouraged me to speak a lot right away. I'm looking forward to our next lesson!

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.
