As a teacher, I believe that language learning should be dynamic and immersive. My background in journalism has equipped me with the tools to make Mandarin both relevant and engaging. I focus not just on the technical aspects of the language, like grammar and vocabulary, but also on the cultural context that brings the language to life. By integrating real-world examples and current events into my lessons, I make learning Mandarin an enriching experience that goes beyond the classroom. Le mie lezioni e il mio metodo di insegnamento

Dawn was amazing, teaching me the differences between English and Chinese grammar, especially with the difficult word 被. I am getting a lot better at Chinese grammar and pronunciation with her help!

As an avid language learner as well as a teacher, I'm always interested in different lesson styles. I tried Dawn's class that uses a news article, seeking a new approach to my Chinese learning. It's quite comprehensive, involving listening, explaining the information that you understood in your own words, oral reading, vocabulary and quizzes. Getting the tones and pronunciation right is a challenge in Mandarin, which makes listening and speaking especially harder compared to many other languages. I think this type of lesson can be really helpful because you use the same material for both input and output practices repetitively. Dawn is gentle and dedicated. I'd certainly take her lesson again and hopefully incorporate them into my Chinese learning journey on a regular basis.

It was a pleasure learning with Dawn. She was very responsive to my messages even before I booked a class. As I am preparing for a specialized oral exam, she took notes on my presentation and gave me detailed feedback on strengths and areas for improvement. She suggested alternative words and sentence structures and took care explaining when each word should be used. This helps me avoid the same mistakes in the future. It was a great experience. Thank you, Dawn!

Dawn was an excellent teacher in this lesson, helping elevate my Chinese! While I know five European languages conversationally, and three quite fluently, Chinese has been far more arduous. Dawn has motivated me when I have been demotivated, and is helping me speak correctly, and avoid having broken Chinese! It is a privilege to work with her!

The instructor was fantastic, and I have booked a follow-on lesson with her! Chinese will never be easy, but she makes it as close to enjoyable as it can be, while I go through the tones! I am very excited to keep working with her and improving my Mandarin, and I would love to visit Taipei and read primary sources on the horrors of Communism.
