Shirley / Phương

Highly recommended. I will book again.

Trial lesson was a great introduction to Pinyin. I will definitely be booking more lessons with Shirley!

This is my third week with Shirley. We have built a good relationship. She has quickly understood my learning style and strengths and adapted our lesson pacing appropriately. She is careful to ensure that I progress through lessons with correct pronunciation. She is diligent in reviewing work and will record samples for students to practice with.

After about 3 months of lessons, we reached the conclusion of the HSK2 course. I have been very satisfied learning with Shirley. She has been able to use my prior language background to explain concepts in an understandable way. Over the past few months I could feel noticeable improvement every lesson. I went from basic word recognition to understanding questions in conversation. I feel more comfortable articulating more complex thoughts and ideas using correct grammar and expression. It has been a very fulfilling language journey.

Was such a positive first experience outside of school learning a language! She was very positive and encouraging!

Shirley is consistent and provides great feedback and conversation help. She is diligent in providing useful corrections and is patient in allowing the student to figure out how to express oneself in their level of Mandarin.
