Laura C

I have taken over a thousand hours of classes with thirty teachers on italki. Nearly half of this time has been spent taking Laura's class. Why? Because it provides by far the most efficient and seemingly effortless learning experience. Over our time working together, she has helped me quickly progress to an intermediate level of fluency. Now, I can listen to podcasts, read articles, write stories, and debate complex topics like ethics. Laura uses a variety of learning material and teaching techniques to help me achieve my goals. For me, it's a combination of meeting the HSK standard, watching/reading the news, understanding jokes, and being able to clearly express myself. Depending on what we're doing (and how tired I am), we’ll do different tasks like retelling stories, debating topics, writing new vocabulary, reading articles, and intuiting the meaning of words from their context. I am lucky to have stumbled upon her class. Of all my recommendations, this is my most wholehearted.

My daughter enjoys Laura's classes sooo much! They're having so much fun, and her Chinese is better and better every day! Thank you!

Laura did a fantastic job by adapting the content of the lesson. It was enjoyable and fun! Thank you!

Laura 是我最喜欢的老师。我们已经 上课三年。总是她教得很有意思，快乐, 有 效的。谢谢你辛苦了！

It’s a great start. Laura is very friendly and experienced in teaching beginners. She kept the conversation rolling by asking simple questions about daily life, time of the day, and etc. I can’t overstate her patience in giving correct inputs of how to say something. Great class.

Always receptive and helpful to whatever I'm trying to focus on. We also have conversations about whatever happens in life. This language is hard but I have definitely improved thanks to her classes
