I've been having lessons with Cady for a few months now, and my Chinese speaking/listening have improved massively in this time! This is thanks to the mix of approaches she uses in her class, covering both engaging small talk and more formal long answer questions. I really appreciate that she sets interesting homework and takes the time to review it and talk you through the feedback. Even though I'd been learning for two years before starting lessons with Cady, I was initially very shy about speaking and struggled stringing together sentences. Cady's patient attitude and willingness to take time to figure out what her students need has helped me come out of my shell and my confidence has improved along with my language skills. Thank you so much!

Cady is a great teacher and has helped me improve my conversational Chinese so much! Lessons have been a mixture of conversation practice and long answer questions, and she's very good at pushing me out of my comfort zone to help me improve. She's also very attentive between lessons and reviews my speaking practice to let me know where I can improve. Strongly recommend!
