Yun Xian continues to provide awesome Chinese language insight and learning techniques that regularly help me in how I think about Chinese and learn the language. She helps me innovate my learning process and changes things up when I'm not catching on and learning how I should be. Great lessons!

I've enjoyed multiple pronunciation lessons with Yunxian. Each lesson is engaging, practical, and tailored to my needs, and I can hear the improvement in my speech after every lesson. Yunxian is extremely patient with as I practice giving me clear feedback and ample opportunity to practice. I highly recommend Yunxian's pronunciation lessons for anyone serious about mastering authentic Mandarin pronunciation!

She is the best teacher I've ever had. She's very professional and she's knowledgeable not only about the language but also about the culture and history of China. She makes learning Chinese interesting and fun, she's always engaging and enthusiastic. With her I'm learning at a much greater pace than I ever thought would be possible.
