Warm, Patient Chinese Tutor with a Psychology Background Teaching Teens to Love Chinese Through Stories & Culture. Judgment-free space for every learner.

I've been studying Chinese for the HSK exam for quite a while. At the beginning, I ran into many difficulties. I often confused similar characters and words, and kept forgetting new vocabulary. I also struggled with long and complicated sentences, which slowed down my reading and lowered my scores. What’s more, I could hardly keep up with the speed in listening tests.

Luckily, Yuan knows the HSK exam inside out. She sorted out comparison lists for confusing words and made review plans to help me memorize steadily. When explaining grammar, she broke long sentences into simple parts for easier understanding. She also arranged targeted listening practice and taught me useful skills to catch key points. We went over every mistake together after practice.

With her steady guidance, I have fixed most of my weaknesses and become much better at taking tests. I also feel more relaxed about my study. She is professional and patient, and truly understands the challenges of HSK preparation. I highly recommend her to all test-takers!

I travel around China a lot, so I learn Chinese to talk with local people easily. Yuan does a great job correcting my pronunciation and teaches real everyday expressions, not just stiff textbook lines. Classes are fun and relaxing. I highly recommend her!

I'm a company manager. I first enrolled my daughter in Chinese lessons, and she improved rapidly. Later I started learning too for my business. I was really impressed that Yuan designed completely different courses to match our separate needs. Strongly recommend!
