Ruby is a great teacher! She is well organized and created a ppt for our first lesson based on my skill level that was great for me since I'd like to continue reading Chinese and use pinyin for words I don't know.

Ruby is attentive and changes lessons to meet your needs. I can tell she carefully plans each lesson, and she is a very good teacher that challenges you and reviews concepts to encourage retention.
