Fabiana Fang

I've been taking classes from Fabiana for over a year now. She is an incredible teacher. She is very diligent about helping me improve and clearly takes pride in her work. I've learnt a lot from her that I couldn't have picked up from textbooks or self-learning. For example, she spotted that I had been writing several characters in traditional chinese wrongly and gave me a tip to check a taiwanese-chinese dictionary when learning unfamiliar characters. As an intermediate learner, I have periods where I want to give up on learning. But every time i have a lesson with Fabiana I start feeling excited about the language again. Even when I get lazy and want to spend the lesson chatting about nonsense, she always gets the lesson back on track and makes sure that I learn something new. Thanks Fabi for helping me improve and I hope to be able to continue learning from you!

I've been practicing conversation with Fabiana for a few weeks now and her lessons are always a lot of fun and push me to expand my vocabulary and use more appropriate grammar. She even goes as far as to make a list of all the vocab we use each class. Within 2 months I already feel a lot more confident about speaking in Chinese.

Fabi is a mature and serious instructor who presents a sincere and engaged desire to bring forth her best effort for her student, me.

Fabiana is a superb educator. In our first lesson together, she came prepared with activities and was able to modify them on the fly to fit my skill level. Figuring out a student's strengths and weaknesses in about 20 minutes then still managing to teach something after that on the first day is an impressive ability I've yet to encounter in any other teacher. She's energetic, passionate about teaching, creative, and ready to adapt what she does in order to better teach. The number of lessons I've taken (a number that will continue to grow) is a testament to her skill.

Fabi takes the time to make inquiries in Chinese at the level of my ability to create sentences and builds from there while providing examples that are saved for further reinforcement.

I've completed another bundle of lessons with Fabiana and continue to enjoy learning and practicing Mandarin with her! She knows how to make the lessons the right amount of challenging and fun. I highly recommend taking lessons with her.
