Her explanations are easy to understand, and her pronunciation is very clear.
She is very enthusiastic and encouraging, and I always look forward to our lessons.
I really appreciate how she helps me retain what Iโve learned ใ

Iris teacher is very kind, patient, and professional. She prepared for me a presentation about travel. She helped me learn common phrases to take the bus and take taxi. She explained some of the origins of the Hanzi, and included some cultural explanations. When I don't know something, she gave clues to help me think of the answer myself. (Great strategy!) The teacher has a lot of experience and knowledge. I enjoyed the class a lot and would recommend her class 100%. Thank you teacher!
