Xin

Xin is very good at keeping the conversation going and notes down all the vocab and grammar in Google docs. She is very supportive and is encouraging me to tackle material outside of my comfort zone, and write more. Xin is also very punctual and has never canceled on me. I have been taking lessons for over a year now and am very pleased that I have found such a good teacher. I really like her lessons and look forward to the next one.

Xin put me through a number of exercises to discern my knowledge level about tones and the pronunciation of Mandarin consonants and vowels. She was continuously positive and encouraging. Despite it being my first Mandarin lesson ever and my feeling a little nervous about it, Xin's presentation and ethos made it easy to relax. She painted it as the beginning of a journey, suggesting that what I didn't know now I could enjoy hearing and practicing.

Xin is an excellent teacher. Her sessions are challenging, interesting and enjoyable. During this session, Xin helped me make sense of the countless questions I have about Chinese grammar, and as always, she patiently explains the grammar patterns until I have a better understanding of them. In fact, her explanations of grammatical patterns is much better than most Mandarin grammar book!!

Another great lesson with Xin! I learn so much during our classes. I look forward to the next one!!

Xin is such an excellent teacher! I am looking forward to our next lesson.

I was so impressed by my trial lesson with Xin! While it was my first lesson with her, I can already tell she is an amazing teacher. She is wonderful with phonetics and explained tone combinations in a way that really clicked with my learning style. Her linguistics background is clear and super helpful, even in the first lesson. She is also very engaging and personable. I am so excited for my next lesson with Xin!
