Laoshi Miao is excellent; she can teach the four tones of the Chinese language, which are fundamental for listening and speaking.

Laoshi Miao, is amazing at teaching tonality, Chinese syllables and pinyin. I highly recommend her for western students that struggle with Chinese pinyin and tonality.

Laoshi Miao was excellent. She is able to explain to western learners, how to pronounce Chinese Pinyin and grammar. She is an expert in Chinese grammar and is fun and has strong knowledge of HSK Chinese system.

Belle 老师 is a great teacher. Every lesson is well planned with well thought out materials. Learning so much from each lesson and now very confident with the Chinese pinyin system only after a few lessons. Highly recommend Belle 老师。
