Learning habits vary enormously from one person to another, so it’s important that the teacher become aware of each student’s strong and weak areas, offering instructions designed to keep the lessons and self-study *productive*. A good teacher knows how to balance the intense learning moments with lightness and fun – everyone knows that feeling, right? I enjoy setting students on the effective-learning track. 1.

This is my 100th lesson with Molly 老师。I have to say that I have made great improvements to my fluency. Molly is always patient, fun to talk to and always willing to discuss many interesting topics. This is one of the many reasons which has enabled her lessons to be very enjoyable. 谢谢老师。

Although I've realized that progress is not linear, I got a chance to reflect on how much better my Chinese has become. It does take time and effort, but achieve higher levels of proficiency is worth it. Since progress is not linear, I am at times concerned about hitting plateaus, in which no progress is visible, and it can be frustrating. Molly has continued to give me advice, techniques, and feedback on how to keep on progressing, especially in this lesson that I just had. Well worth it.

Molly is very focused and friendly. I love how she forces me to use Chinese and to not rely on my English too much! She is great!

It is amazing what can be accomplished within quite a short period of time just with a bit of dedication and the help of a Great Teacher. 1 year ago, I had my very first lesson with Molly, I had then barely reached HSK1 level and could hardly say anything in Chinese. Since then I’ve successfully passed my HSK3 exam in March and HSK4 in June this year; I’m now well on my way to HSK5. Sure, the road to fluency is still long, yet I feel proud of this accomplishment and feel very grateful for having found such a wonderful teacher. Now whenever someone asks me for some advice about learning Chinese, I just tell them to go on italki and book regular lessons with Molly. 3 or 4 lessons a week, just in a few months you are bound to see some great result.
