李老师 is great at speaking at a level I understand while giving me plenty of repeated exposure to new words. She's skilled at bringing conversation topics to talk about (e.g. Chinese culture and news) so that I get plenty of natural conversation practice in which I'm learning things about current events or culture.

李子木 is an amazing teacher. I started studying with her a long time ago, after trying many different tutors and when I still couldn't express myself in Chinese. It was very difficult at first, but she was the only one who truly understood my needs and adapted the lessons accordingly. She is extremely patient, skilled, and capable of helping students make real progress in learning Chinese. After taking a year-long break, I came back to her because she’s simply the best! I highly recommend her.
