Hong Li is an extremely knowledgeable in all facets of culture, history, economics, and social issues. Therefore, during her lesson she introduces her student to a plethora of new vocabulary, and engages the student in a series of question and answer discussions, I highly recommend her to anyone wishing to improve or increase their language learning skills.

My first class with Hong Laoshi was one the best classes I've had on iTalki. Hong Laoshi not only is very well prepared with teaching materials and a willingness to adapt to her students' Chinese level, but perhaps more importantly, she makes a consistent effort during the class to keep the conversation going and ensuring you are actively learning the entire time you talk to her. I look forward to taking more classes with her!

Excellent lesson and Amazing teacher! In class, we saw my homework where Maggie gave corrections explaining what was wrong. Then, we made some speaking about the topic of success giving our points of view, read three texts and Maggie asked me some questions to see if I have understood them. So, today was another comprehensive lesson which include all the skills. As usual, Maggie is punctual and organized with the activies to do: she is skillful and she exactly knows what she has to do or say during the class. In addition, she provides great feedback to let me know my progress and she is always at the student's disposa if he need something. Thanks to Maggie, my Chinese is getting better every day. She is an excellent Chinese teacher, but also a lovely and precious person. Her lessons are valuable as ten stars lesson. Great experience. 我们下个星期见面 ❤️

Lezione fantastica, Maggie è sempre sorridente e spiega ogni cosa molto chiaramente, rispondendo anche al dubbio più stupido. Un'amica ormai, sempre meravigliosa 💕

Hong Laoshi is an amazing teacher. She is creative, full of energy and explains things very clearly. She gives many opportunities to practise listening, talking, reading and also writing. I'm really happy to be her student and I really recommend her to others.
