Hsu Jiayun

I love my classes with Jiayun. The times flies by and I always feel motivated after class. She readily adapts the class to my interests and has an impressive collection of resources to supplement the class. She is super kind and encouraging, as well as professional and organized. I am looking forward to progressing with my Mandarin.

Amazing teacher, who helped me a lot with my Mandarin. Skills and knowledge that Frances helps you to gain are invaluable. Frances loves her job and cares about the progress of her students. You'll start speaking Mandarin incredibly soon and your path to excellence will be fun and smooth. I highly and sincerely recommend Frances to everyone who wants to master this not-so-easy language.

I can’t say enough great things. I was starting to get a little burnt out from some of the people that consider themselves teachers and call themselves teachers. I studied mandarin in an immersion setting, so it was very intense. I had a little bit of a foundation. I really was looking for an appropriate teacher. I think many people are maybe like tutors or people you can just practice having a conversation with. I was really looking for a teacher that could meet me where I am and help me move forward seriously with my mandarin. I also first met her during my immersion program and desperately asked her for help with homework. She jumped right in and taught me things that really helped me survive the program. She takes notes and assesses your level and came up with the perfect plan for me. I feel very happy and confident in her helping me to get to the next level of mandarin. I’m so excited I found her. She is absolutely excellent.

There are teachers that are simply good at speaking their mother tongue. Jiayun however is that kind of a teacher that knows every trick in the book. She literally knows every online tool and language smartphone app and she’s really trying to include new approaches of language learning. I enjoy her lessons a lot and it makes me feel a little awkward when she‘s better prepared than me 😳

Hsu was amazing and is an excellent teacher!

Excellent, excellent. Immediately understood my needs and my challenges. Taught me one sure fire really impactful way to quickly facilitate my progress. Was extremely helpful and gave me much relief and support. She was so efficient and clear. Talked about where I am and what we can do moving forward. Understood exactly what my goals are and planned for the next lesson. She’s so understanding and kind. Approachable, accessible, easy to follow and understanding. I found my teacher and will work with her!
