I’ve been having Mandarin conversational classes with Teacher Vivian for over a year now, and I feel that I have learned so much with her patient help & excellent teaching style. The lessons are always fun and interesting, where we can speak about anything from normal daily life to culture and current news. I’d really recommend you try a lesson with her if you’re looking to improve your Mandarin, and learn more about China along the way.

In this first (trial) lesson, Vivian was very helpful in helping me to define my learning strategies. I like the look of the material she shared with me and look forward to working with them, and her, hopefully tomorrow!
