Lessons usually begin with a conversation where I am encouraged to speak by responding to questions about what I have been doing or plan to do. This invariably involves learning new words or phrases or talking about some aspect of Chinese culture or the culture of my country. We then cover the homework. We then move forward into new material or revision. Lessons are always pleasant and the learning experience has been very fulfilling.

Fanfei recognizes my strengths and encourages me to be confidant, while also noting my weaknesses and curating my lessons and homework specifically to them. Since starting lessons with my Fanfei my vocabulary, confidence, and understanding of the language has greatly improved.

Another great lesson with Fan Fei! Her classes are always well structured, engaging and tailored to my level. Thank you!

I always look forward to my lessons with Fan Fei. She starts each session by having me talk about what’s going on in my life, which makes learning feel natural and engaging. I appreciate her clear expectations and the structured, predictable lesson format. Fan Fei is always calm and patient—she never gets frustrated, even when I struggle to understand a concept or make the same mistake repeatedly in my homework. Her supportive approach makes learning Chinese both enjoyable and effective!

Wonderful lesson and great materials prepared. Fanfei went above and beyond to help introduce me to the Chinese language.

Another great lesson from Fan Fei! I appreciate the variety of materials she assigns as homework and her willingness to explain interesting grammatical and cultural points as they come up in our conversation.
