Tammy

I am taking the "Chinese Speaking Practice" course with Tammy, and have completed 5 lessons now. When I started, I asked for the classes to be immersive and for her to mainly speak to me using Chinese in order to help me with my listening skills. She has done just that. Even with 5 lessons, Im already able to "hear" vocabulary and comprehend sentences when she speaks. She also pushes me to create full sentences when speaking and doesn't let me get lazy with my communication. Because I can read pinyin and some chinese characters, she types out vocabulary words or sentence structures to help me better understand grammar concepts. I love that she does this in Chinese and not English as it further reenforces my understanding of the Chinese language. Her prices are also afforadable, which allows me to take multiple lessons a week (currently 4/week) which allows me to have consistent oral practice. If you want to start speaking Chinese naturally (not textbook), book a lesson with her.

Had a great conversation with the instructor. Appreciate her insightfulness and questions to keep the chat going.

Tammy made every minute count and I appreciated the practice.

Tammy is amazing! I had my first lesson today and it went by in a flash. She was patient, engaging, and was genuinely interested in what I was talking about. She always wrote down any words I didn't quite know or gave me better ways to express what I was trying to say. I would give 6 stars if I could. Will definitely be booking many, many more lessons :)

I've been studying with Tammy for almost a month now (Yay!). Two weeks of that month have been me taking classes 4 times a week (Monday-Thursday). With that, I've already been introduced to over 100 vocabulary words. As you can imagine, that's a lot to remember. I recently struggled to remember ALL of the vocabulary learned, so today Tammy took the time to review yesterday's lesson topic, and had me practice speaking using the vocabulary I learned yesterday to describe photos and have general conversations on the topic. I loved how she adjusted the lesson this way to meet my learning speed. This allowed me to practice the vocabulary already taught the previous day, practice discussing scenarios and making longer sentences, and practice my fluidity (which sucks right now, but it'll get better). This method helps with repetition of speaking but also listening to build language skills. I will be booking my lessons for next week. See you soon Tammy.

太棒了
