Crystal Lin is a great teacher! I struggle with all parts of learning the language (tones, words, writing, and reading), but she is very patient no matter how many times we have to repeat things. She tailors the lessons to what the student wants and needs without hesitation, and sends review notes and other materials to read and study long after class is over. I feel that she is extremely dedicated when it comes to teaching language and wants to see all of her students excel in learning Chinese.

木木老师 has been a fantastic teacher for my three-year-old son. I especially appreciate how flexible she has been, adjusting based on the interests and moods of our son. 木木老师 is patient and engaging. Given how she's scaled lessons, I have no doubts that she would be an excellent teacher for all ages.
