Me as a Teacher

My lessons & teaching style
My classes are fun and flexible.
Provide a safe and immersive Chinese environment for you to learn in without feeling overwhelmed.

TLDR: I'm in the infancy stage of Chinese. She provides an extremely safe and flexible lesson environment, quick and active feedback pronunciation-wise, personalized vocab sheets, and gets you talking a lot in the language!
Sophie is a fantastic language teacher! I am within my first month of learning Mandarin Chinese, but have previously attained conversational fluency in French. I have found that the best sign of a language teacher is that both:
1. The lesson time flies by AND
2. You were speaking the target language almost the entire time.
The second one is not a given as a beginner, but is so important. Sophie makes sure you're always trying to speak and gives such good feedback anytime you attempt to speak.
Her lessons are 100% customized for you, and always sends a list of all the new words with their meanings & pinyin afterwards. Personalized reviews in the beginnings of lessons and she is *always* ready to answer cultural questions as well as random language questions. :)

Sophie is a great and patient teacher. She encouraged me to make sentences and helped me form natural Chinese sentences. Her classes are very fun too, I even didn't realize we already finished our class lol. Guys, I highly recommend to try her lessons!
