Karen, is by far one of the best ever teachers I’ve come across, her teaching is an exceptional standard, it’s very simple, as well as very rememberable She is always so patient and so fun, I always have a good time when I have lessons with her, and the slides she uses are such a great memory aid And the best thing is, is I always feel like I’ve learnt something, every time I have a class with her

Karen is very bubbly and fun to learn with. I highly recommend learning with her. She makes lessons engaging, and uses a good mix of mandarin and English that strikes a good balance in the learning process to help learners understand spoken Mandarin alongside conceptual aspects of the language. She uses high-quality sets of slides, resources and tools in her lessons and is thorough in her approach. She will also follow up and provide resources (quizzes, notes and so on and so forth) to help you learn outside of the lessons, which I find particularly helpful to reinforce the learning outcomes from her lessons, and I am certain others will as well.

This was a very helpful lesson with visual examples and speaking practice! Karen was very encouraging and provided clear explanations for speaking with different levels of formality.
