my first lesson with Joanna was really good! she came to the lesson very prepared and sent me a summary of everything we learned so I can review it later. I enjoyed talking to her and found her methods to be very easy to understand and suitable for my needs. I am buying a package now and I have a feeling it won't be the last one :)

A fantastic teacher. We have been working together on business Chinese and I feel like I am quickly improving. Recently, I have really valued her ability to easily explain the differences between similar verbs and insights into word choice. I highly recommend her to anyone quickly wanting to improve their formal Chinese.

I have really valued my lessons with Joanna! Joanna has a tremendous sense of quickly gauging my skill level, developing programming uniquely catered to my personal skillset. Joanna is resourceful and thoughtful, especially when it comes to adapting lessons to my strengths and weaknesses. We have only gone through one week of classes, but I have learned at a surprising pace thanks to Joanna's help. Looking forward to continuously learning!

Thank you again for a great lesson and for correcting my pronunciation! Now I feel more confident while reading and speaking, and I’ll try to use all the tips though my angry ‘no’ is not angry at all😂
