📣Kid/AP/Adult-Lydia

I have done over 100 lessons with Lydia and even when I reach my desired fluency level probably will never stop. You will not find a better teacher than her. Somehow she always knows exactly where I'm at in my learning and how to push me. She always uses vocabulary and sentence structure within my skill set. She remembers everything so every lesson is perfectly tailored just for me, things I like to discuss, current happenings, pets, food, etc. Somehow she does this for all her students. My world has opened up since learning chinese, I have made chinese friends and attended cultural events and my world is so much better having done so. It's so great being able to have conversations in chinese that I thought I'd never be able to do. None of this would have been possible without Lydia. If you are lucky enough to be her student and work hard she will help you achieve whatever your fluency goal is.

Something amazing happened with my son’s Chinese last week that really surprised us! We walked into a Chinese restaurant, and he not only ordered our food entirely in Chinese but even struck up a conversation with some of the other Chinese speakers there! We couldn’t be prouder. He said he felt confident thanks to Lydia’s lessons, where they cover all sorts of topics using fun videos, pictures, and structured practice. Now, he’s also getting more interested in reading Chinese characters. He loves how Lydia uses pictures, stories, and games to make characters stick. We’re so grateful to have Lydia as his teacher and couldn’t recommend her more!

Lydia is the best! I’ve been studying with her for three years and we always have a great time.

I'm a heritage Chinese speaker, and I started taking lessons to pass on the language to my son. I left China at 4, and my ability to express myself felt largely frozen at child level. And my reading was awful! After over 2 years of regular classes with Lydia, I'm now able to speak to my 3 year old exclusively in Chinese, and read Chinese kids books to him. My adult level vocabulary has massively improved also. I'm able to express myself better and I can listen to some native language podcasts. Lydia has been key to my progress. She's patient, encouraging, and adapts classes to my interests. Despite being a busy working parent, I've managed to stay consistent with lessons for over 2 years because Lydia makes them interesting - and long-term consistency is key to improving your language skills. Lydia is a great teacher and can help you reach your Chinese goals. I wholeheartedly recommend booking a lesson with her!

I really enjoyed my first class with Lydia, I’m very excited to continue learning with her💛

My son had a great lesson with Teacher Lydia! He enjoyed getting to know her and was very comfortable with her teaching style. He's looking forward to the next lesson :-)
