Great teacher! We have lessons almost a year already- going through HSK program. I feel a huge progress even considering my inconsistency in learning. Katherine makes tremendous work on my pronunciation and grammar, provides all needed materials and a lot of tips how to improve my Chinese. I even started understanding native speakers lately 😅Thanks a lot!
