I would like to recommend Helen as your next chinese/mandarin teacher! Helen is truly amazing, both as a teacher and as a person! She is very attentive to my study goals and adjusts the lessons to suit me personally! I can feel she always puts great effort in creating lesson plans that include many interactive dialouges, and fun learning games. She always tries to explain the cultural context of many chinese phrases and words, and create a deeper level of learning. Thank you Helen for your fantastic teaching I am excited to continue our study journey together :) :)

Helen is a wonderful teacher and I really enjoy learning with her! She takes so much time to customize the lessons around what I am interested in learning about and making custom slides for me. She also is quick to respond to any questions I have in between lessons. As an English speaker it is difficult for me to pronounce all the Chinese tones but she is very patient in teaching me how to learn each sound. She makes learning Chinese fun and I look forward to my lesson with her every week :)

Helen is one of the best teachers I have encountered on Italki as she really wants me to succeed in learning Chinese and is open to feedback on how the lessons best work for my style of learning. The classes are no-nonsense in nature which I need right now.

Learning Chinese with Helen has been such a treat! She's a wonderful tutor who's always prepared and engaged during our lessons. She takes time to answer all my questions, and often shares extra cultural insights such as comparisons between historical times vs modern day, current slang/conversational phrases, and more. She also tries to adjust the lessons to fit your personal interests/hobbies. It's been so wonderful to develop my Chinese skills with Helen :)

I've really enjoyed my lessons with Helen. I prefer learning with some structure but not too rigid, and allows for flexibility and she is able to provide that learning experience for me. Lessons feel well-planned/paced which makes it easy to follow along while also leaving room for questions and further explanations (if needed). She's a patient teacher and I never feel rushed. Highly recommend Helen!

Easy to communicate with. She understands my needs and goals. I look forward to our next lesson.
