Elena

Teacher slowly practices and teaches at your speed and pace. Teaches you how to say the words before getting you to practice while offering corrections.

Very comfortable environment to practice speaking and appropriate material for my level 🤠, look forward to improving in mandarin and cantonese.

Takes time to ensure you understand the material. Will say it first, ask you to follow, and will still say it with you slowly if required. Very patient

We talked about our day, today, and it branched off into other topics. And then we went on to the reading material. Whenever I wasn't sure of a word to express myself, I would ask, and my teacher would tell me and write it down for me to review. Her teaching style is great!

I’ve been learning with Elena on italki from HSK 1 all the way to HSK 4, and I can’t recommend her enough. She is incredibly patient and understanding—especially because I don’t have much time to study outside of class, so our lessons are basically my only study time. She never makes me feel bad about that and is always accommodating to my situation. She’s easy to talk to, open-minded, and genuinely enjoyable to learn with, which has helped me stay consistent and keep progressing. I highly recommend Elena to anyone looking for a patient, flexible, and engaging teacher.

Elena is an excelent teacher. She is pacient and explain the sounds e tone using example. I enjoyed it.
