Areta (Yizhen)

Yzhen Laoshi is a really excellent teacher. Her lessons are always interesting. It is full of new things to learn, i.e, learning how to read pinyin, understanding the meaning of a Chinese song and even exploring topics related to Taiwanese culture. She is very enthusiastic about answering all my questions and provides clear explanations. Learning with her becomes a fun moment and it definitely boosts my confidence to enunciate Chinese words with the correct tones. I will continue to study with her and hopefully I will be able to converse in Chinese with confidence. Thank you Laoshi for the good times.

Yizhen is a really skilled tutor. I really appreciate the ongoing spreadsheets of vocab words I don't know as we talk, and she is able to multitask without missing a beat in our conversation. She also entertained my specific desire to read essays about specific topics as a means to build my language learning motivation around my hobbies. This requires time outside of the lesson, something not every tutor will do.

Thank you very much Areta for this very useful lesson with the vocabulary to know already written in excel!

Areta is a great Chinese teacher. Listens closely for any grammar or vocabulary mistakes I make and gives me good word recommendations based on what Taiwanese people would actually say in day to day life. I also really appreciate that she writes all her corrections and new vocabulary in a Google Doc that you can view during class or review after class. I have reviewed that Google Doc to learn a ton of new vocabulary. Highly recommend.

good lesson

I am grateful that Areta is so patient with my constant forgetting of words and mangled grammar :)
