Shi Laoshi is professional and kind. She is great at explaining things. The lessons are well-tailored to my level. I always learn a few great new words to use from our Oral Chinese Practice lessons.

Ivy was very helpful. She quickly identified which language domains I needed more improvement on, and focused in on those. I will definitely be ordering more lessons in the future!

Ivy has been a great teacher. We are working from a textbook and review new vocabulary and sentences every week with listening and speaking skills. She is very professional. I would highly recommend her as a teacher.

Ivy Shi is an excellent teacher, and her lesson was challenging, interesting and enjoyable. During the lesson she asked me a plethora of questions pertaining to a particular topic that I selected, and corrected my enunciation of certain words. I highly recommend Ivy to anyone wanting to improve their speaking and listening skills.

As usual I appreciate her patience, especially when it comes to me confirming lessons or missing them.
