Sharon Cen

Sharon is just the best teacher! I've progressed beyond what I thought was possible thanks to her help. Every lesson is fun and and interesting. I learn so much every time! It really helps how she is great at giving lessons that are at the right level for you, and she knows exactly how to explain things so you truly understand. She's so patient and encouraging, so I don't feel bad making mistakes or asking lots of questions. I feel so lucky to have found Sharon! She is truly an exceptional person and teacher.

Such a patient and understanding tutor! She perfectly understands my goals and level, and is able to teach in a way that is very helpful and fun. Mandarin is an extremely difficult language to learn, but these lessons are certainly helping it feel a little less impossible!

Sharon was very patient and understanding during the moments when I ran out of words. I really appreciated my lesson with her and learned a lot.

We finished learning Pinyin today, and moved onto Hanzi and simple vocabulary! Sharon made it so fun and easy to remember. She also adapted the lesson to support me with a university exam that I have tomorrow. I am absolutely loving these lessons, and I have found an entirely new love for this beautiful language.

Teacher Sharon is not only one of the best Chinese teachers I’ve ever had, but also one of the best teachers I’ve had the pleasure of learning from. She’s methodical in her approach and is always happy to change her lesson plans depending on your current goals. (Which has ranged from speaking, reading, and also most impactful phrases to use in my upcoming trip!)

After six months of weekly lessons, I can say that 岑老师 is the best. She's very friendly and comforting, and encourages conversation in Chinese from the very beginning, not just following the book. The only way to learn a language is to actually use it to communicate things, and she makes sure you can do that.
