Jennifer Chen

Jennifer is a gem! Aside from being just a really good teacher, she is also very flexible. This is a quality a student might overlook when considering an instructor, but it is important during the lessons to keep them engaging, as well as when it comes to maintaining the consistent practice that is key to language learning. Jennifer has been very accommodating when I request lessons at shorter notice due to my random work schedule. This has helped me stay on track and learn at a satisfying pace. Additionally, Jennifer adeptly manages to stick to her prepared plan and, also, tie-in spontaneous input from questions or observations I bring to the lesson.

Very productive class! Jennifer explains word usage very clearly and gave helpful suggestions to improve my sentences.

Second class with Jennifer and it’s great 😊

I have been taking lessons with Jennifer for about 3 months now; and I can’t say enough positive things about her. My Chinese lessons have become trice-weekly high points that I eagerly anticipate. My assessment of Jennifer is from the perspective of being both an anxious learner and a fellow language teacher (ESL). As a teacher, Jennifer, keeps each lesson focused and productive so that you finish the class feeling your time has been well spent and enriched with new knowledge. We cover a lot of information, but always at a pace and level that is comfortable for me. She is, also, very skilled at gently challenging you to trust in what you know and to present it. I am often surprised at what I can actually say, and have also retained, due to her engaging personality, and our lively interactions. I don’t expect to become fluent quickly, but I do feel very confident that I will get to a level of satisfying proficiency, sooner than I had believed, before starting my lessons with Jennifer.

Another amazing session with teacher Jennifer. I am really falling in love with Chinese more and more .

First sample class with Jennifer and I can’t wait for my next full class already.
