15 months of experience teaching personalized Chinese lessons to learners of all levels

She is a very talented language learner! She has an excellent ear for Mandarin and does a great job of listening to and imitating Chinese tones and pronunciation. Her Chinese sounds very natural—even compared with many learners who have been studying Chinese for a much longer time.

She is also very motivated and consistently puts effort into practicing outside of class. With two lessons a week and regular practice, I believe she could reach a level where she can have basic conversations in Chinese within just three months.

She has made a wonderful start, and I’m really excited to see how much she can improve. She has a natural feel for the language and so much potential. I highly recommend that she keep going with her Chinese learning journey!

The student has a very solid learning foundation. Their pinyin is well mastered, and once we adjusted the pronunciation positions, their pronunciation quickly became much more native-like. Progress has been fast and noticeable.

At this stage, the main area for improvement is independent sentence formation. Sometimes the student understands vocabulary and structures but needs more practice actively creating sentences on their own.

In the next phase of our lessons, we will focus more on dialogue-based practice. After each conversation, the student will be encouraged to summarize the content in their own words and turn it into a short paragraph. This approach will help strengthen listening and speaking skills, as well as the ability to build sentences using an internal “sentence bank.”

As a concrete goal, we will work toward the student being able to speak continuously in Chinese for 30 seconds without interruption, building both confidence and fluency.
