A skilled Mandarin tutor with 4 years of teaching experience,2000+ online lessons I've given.

I've been meeting with Flora almost two years now (I can't even believe it!) More than a tutor she's a friend. She is FOR you and your language learning journey; and her patience, grace, and kindness will be such an encouragement as you improve!

She is there to tailor your lessons to your context and needs, as well as support you when it feels like you just aren't getting it. She's also good at including a lot of cultural exchange in our lessons: she doesn't just want teach you, but she also wants to help you talk about relevant topics in Chinese.

It's been fun to watch her grow as a tutor as well during these two years--I'm so grateful to have had her as a tutor since I started learning Mandarin!

I can't recommend 淑芳 (Flora) highly enough! I have been studying with her twice a week for seven months now and I love our lessons. She is a very patient and encouraging teacher and makes you feel really comfortable and motivated to learn. Flora has a good level of English so she is able to explain grammar points and vocabulary usage in a clear way. The lessons consist of a range of language skills including speaking, reading, listening and grammar and I have really seen my progress grow since studying with her. She has a great bank of resources from great in-class PowerPoints to stories, TV recommendations and flashcard sets etc. for out-of-class study. She sets a range of different homework tasks that help you creatively use newly learnt structures and always gives feedback on your homework so you can continue to improve. Flora is always happy to go off topic and talk to you about Chinese culture and other areas of interest, giving you the opportunity to learn vocabulary and structures related to your passions on top of the textbook content. If you are about to start Chinese lessons, Flora is a fantastic teacher and I would 100% recommend doing lessons with her!
