Hi, welcome! My name is Stacey, my students also call me "张老师 (Teacher Zhang)". Besides teaching Mandarin Chinese to foreign students, I'm also a part-time student in French, Spanish and psychology. During my leisure time, I enjoy reading, writing, attending yoga classes, visiting the gym, cycling around the city, hiking in mountains, taking photographs, doing sketches and cooking with friends.

Comme toujours, j'ai passé un très bon moment en cours de chinois. Cela me mets de bonne humeur pour toute la journée. Stacey mene le cours de façon organisée et les temps de conversation libre sont toujours un très bon exercice où je me sens à l'aise pour simplement parler chinois sans redouter de faire des erreurs. Elle adapte également le cours pour répondre à mes questions (je crois que j'ai compris les nuances du 要, et j'ai eu un déclic pour la prononciation des sh/zh/ch !). Merci encore et à la semaine prochaine ! Bon voyage !

I almost never leave comments but I'll do one here. Stacey is probably the best language teacher I've had for any language, ever. She reviews vocabulary, gives various sentences, understands my horrible Chinese, and explains complicated grammar so much better than anyone I've ever seen. Her knowledge of English is incredible and that's why I think she can explain. nuances of grammar and discern how to convey the idea on a native level rather than just use the Google translate word or even just stop with 1 example. Because I've learned multiple languages, I think I have a better understanding of how to ask about a wide variety of contexts to make sure that I *really* understand how to use it, and Stacey gets it. She is an incredible teacher and you would be lucky to have her. I recommend her to all my friends all the time.

Stacey is so good at making the lesson feel easy and fun while keeping a focus on grammar and vocabulary. I can’t understate how worthwhile these lessons are. It’s like getting the value of several college professors in one person and all one-on-one private lessons. Even though I struggle and search for words every 3 seconds, she keeps me engaged and speaking. She clarifies grammar/vocab points both verbally and through notes she shares with you so you can always review what you learned in past lessons. For my lessons, she only speaks in Chinese, but she is able to speak perfect English at an academic level. This means that she is able to understand the English logic behind my attempts at constructing a Chinese sentence. She then takes my poorly constructed Chinese sentence and repeats it with the correct grammar and vocabulary. I feel like 1 hour with her is like spending a week in a college class. She will make you feel like you’re getting your money’s worth and then some.

I have just started taking lessons with Stacey as a complete beginner, and I am really enjoying it so far. Stacey gives a lot of positive encouragement to learn the tones and start speaking, explains the plan for each lesson clearly so I know what we are trying to achieve, and ends each lesson by telling me what we will be doing next time, which shows that her beginner lessons are well planned. I am looking forward to continuing to learn with Stacey, and would recommend her highly.
