She is a very attentive, patient, and supportive teacher. She explains Mandarin clearly and sends notes after lessons, which I find very helpful for revising and practising on my own. She is also very accommodating when I need to change lesson times. I’ve really enjoyed learning with her and would highly recommend her to anyone wanting to study Mandarin
