Sherry is absolutely fantastic! I've really enjoyed every single lesson, and always look forward to the next. What really sets her apart for me is how fun the lessons are: full of laughter, jokes and good vibes. I learn a lot every time, not just about Chinese but also about interesting local news and cultural nuances. I wholeheartedly recommend her.

Sherry is an amazing and patient teacher. She makes sure to prepare the material according to student needs and level, takes her time to explain everything until you understand and definitely creates an environment where you feel free to speak, make mistakes and practice your Chinese. I have tried multiple teachers on italki trying to find a teacher that would work for me, but after having a class with Sherry, I never looked for a different teacher again!

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!

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.
