Super recommended! Zhen immediately understood what I was looking for from lesson 1, preparing thoroughly for each class in a well structured way. We usually pick a topic of my choice and then dissect it over 2-3 lessons. She knows I want to my improve my vocabulary, and she promptly asks follow-up questions for me to hone my skills. Also, she speaks at natural / fast speed upon my request, so it's truly what I was looking for – prepared, receptive, and competent. Really recommended!
