I really liked how insightful Sherry's lessons were, especially regarding how radicals form each character and why it is that way through the individual meaning attached to them. This really helps with building intuition about some characters that I hadn't known before.

Sherry is consistent and patient. Working with Sherry has really improved my speaking listening reading and writing. I am able to pick up what’s being said from context at time and starting to form my own sentences and thoughts.

I had a lesson with Sherry to figure out what my pronunciation problems were as a self-taught learner. Within 30 minutes she found all my issues and showed me how to correct them very patiently.
For anyone with pronunciation problems, you should definitely ask Sherry for help!
