Reviews
老師 Yun is a marvelous educator. She will go above and beyond to guide you in your Mandarin Chinese journey. Her breadth and depth of Mandarin Chinese will leave you wanting for more. She will make you feel at ease during the lesson with a dash of humor. 謝謝老師 Yun.

I look forward very much to each lesson. They are always very interesting – each lesson is varied (some conversation practice, some grammar points from the textbook, some real life learning etc) and comes with custom materials which are helpfully annotated during the lesson with new words and then sent to me afterwards. Even the homework is fun and varied each time!

I like how the lessons are focused on real-life Taiwanese Mandarin (instead of textbook language), and how each lesson consists of a review session and homework analysis. Also, the lessons are well paced and the usage of written language is appropriate for the student to understand the message. A minimal usage of English is also appreciated.

Yun is one of the best teachers I’ve had in decades of Chinese language study. She prepares excellent materials for each lesson, is very knowledgable, super fun to talk with, and has a wonderful personality. Highly recommend her as a tutor!
