Katherine is the best teacher I could imagine. She has been very supportive, encouraging and patient which only makes the whole studying process more pleasant and effecive. Because of her, learning Chinese became easy and I can feel my progress.

This was my first class with Katherine. I liked that she asked if I wanted correction on pronunciation that didn't impact understanding, which I've never had teachers in the past ask. She also went into more detail about my learning goals than other teachers. Will definitely take more classes with her

Great teacher! Very patient and very helpful. She allowed me to control the flow of the conversation which was fantastic. Will book again!

Wow! Katherine is a great teacher. I learned more from her in one lesson than I have from all my lessons with previous teachers in the past (even though I have had some very good teachers in the past too). She really understood what I was hoping to achieve. She is clearly very good at customising lessons for different students. Thank you Katherine!
