Candy

Candy is an extremely knowledgeable and attentive teacher. She makes sure you understand everything before moving onto the next lesson and plans out personally how she wants to approach each learning aspect with you. She also encourages you to find what works for you in terms of learning Chinese, and isn't strict about how you learn the language.

This is my umpteenth return to learning Chinese, and I already feel really positive about making this attempt stick thanks to my first lesson with Candy (and overall, in the past two years). She was very prepared to adjust to my "false beginner" level, engaged with my half-Chinese, half-English output throughout and gave me actionable feedback at the end alongside a possible lesson plan/structure for next time (while inviting my own input about my goals), which felt very encouraging. I would definitely book another lesson with Candy.

Thank you Candy for another great lesson! Candy is always engaged and cheerful, I love the high-energy atmosphere in the lessons. She encourages me to speak and we laugh a lot. I also feel like Candy understands me well 😊 I look forward to our next class!

I had another enjoyable lesson with Candy! We covered lots of new words in a fun, conversational style. I highly recommend Candy as a teacher!

I had another great class with Candy! We had a good mix of free talk and conversation based on the slides she prepared. I always enjoy our classes so much!

I’ve only been learning Chinese with Candy for a short time, but the progress has been incredible. She has a special talent for breaking things down in a way that makes even complex grammar and tones feel approachable. Both my Taiwanese colleagues and my Chinese in-laws are amazed at how much I’ve been able to learn so quickly. Candy is patient, encouraging, and knows how to keep lessons engaging while still challenging me to improve. She’s living proof that you can teach an old dog new tricks! I couldn’t recommend her enough for anyone serious about learning Chinese.
