14 Chinese lessons

My boy knows some Chinese, can speak some Chinese . But I want him to keep learning Chinese , and learn all the Chinese skills, such as listening, reading , speaking and writing. Miss Bunny cares for student's interest by asking him what lessons he liked better and what lessons he disliked most. My child told her the truth that one lesson was too simple for him, but the rest of lessons were fun. The next day, Miss Bunny quickly adjusted all the lessons that were really fun.

We were very lucky to find Lily. She is not only a native Chinese speaker, but also a truly professional Chinese teacher. My daughter really enjoys working with her, and we can already see improvement in both her confidence and understanding. Lily is very organized and gives clear instructions before the lesson, which we really appreciate as parents as well. I highly recommend her for high school students who are studying Chinese.
