Amber Lin

I’ve been taking classes with Amber for almost 2 months now and I’ve retained so much knowledge working with her. I am still not confident in my speaking abilities at all, but with Amber, I’m comfortable trying without feeling embarrassed, which has allowed me to attempt more complex sentences, and build my vocabulary. After today’s class, she even did a check in with me to see what else I wanted out of my language learning journey aside from conversational skills. This was a surprise question for me, but I was glad she asked it, because I was able to express my interest in improving my reading comprehension of Chinese characters. She listened to the suggestions I had and we made plans for our future lessons together. Can’t wait to see where I am two months from now :)

My first lesson with Amber was great! I'm a complete beginner so she had the lesson already structured but was able to adapt it to my learning pace as we went along. She also laid out how future lesson plans could go according to my interests.

I had no prior experience studying Chinese, but Amber Lin came thoroughly prepared with a wide range of resources and materials to support my learning. She is highly recommended and a very friendly teacher!

Super kind and personable teacher. I appreciate how helpful she is at providing me with more native ways of expressing myself and typing them out while i'm talking without interrupting me. I like to get carried away when I practice speaking Chinese and she's a great conversation partner. (She's flexible so just explain how you want to learn if you prefer a different way of course.)

谢谢Amber Lin老师。今天的课非常好。下次我们可以一起讨论一下一个话题。

Amber is awesome. She really makes me feel comfortable trying to discuss complicated topics in Mandarin!
