Very good experience. Helps me remember Japanese, conducts the lesson as much as possible in Japanese and points out the Mandarin equivalent where possible.
The teacher prepares materials in advance that are appropriate for the level and for the purpose of the learning. Overall really strong recommendation, especially if you already have some Chinese knowledge as the teacher provides equivalent Chinese constructions where appropriate.

Wow Crystal has a very fine ear and a great method for improving pronunciation. She’s the most amazing teacher I’ve found for improving Mandarin pronunciation, and clearly enjoys the musicality of Chinese. As a language professional (interpreter/translator l/teacher) she also has a great sense for language and language learning in particular.
