Helen Tian

This is my third lesson and the shadowing and listening we did was so helpful, i think i am going to built it into my self-study too. It's also great to get conversation practice where I can get lots of repetition of the important phrases and sentence-order i need to learn too, so it really starts to stick! I will study hard before my next lesson, 加油！

I love that Helen always encourages me to speak more Chinese. During class we follow a textbook but we also have conversations about different topics. She also incorporates new vocabulary. I enjoy her classes a lot and I always learn something new in each class. For those of you that also study writing, Helen knows a lot about characters and how they are formed and their meaning.

excellent combination of structured materials and informal dialog

We've been studying together for four years, twice per week, every week from HSK 0 to the threshold of HSK 5. Helen is an amazing teacher.

A lovely introduction lesson - thank you so much!

Good lesson, she had materials to work from but we modified the lesson to create more dialogue. She does simple roleplay to practice the materials.
