Li B. is a wonderful teacher for my 11 year old daughter who is continuing her Mandarin upon our return to the US after living in Singapore. As a former primary school teacher from mainland China, Li B.'s style is both nurturing and encouraging while keeping my daughter challenged in conversational Mandarin, including writing and reading characters. We feel so lucky to have met Li B, and so thankful to continue Mandarin studies in Boca Raton, Florida of all places!
Catherine D.

6 Mandarin lessons

I am learning Mandarin to communicate better with my partner's family and eventually teach it to my future child, and Li was very supportive of those goals. I especially appreciated her patience with pronunciation and her willingness to adapt to my learning needs. The lesson was engaging, organized, and encouraging, and it left me feeling excited to continue learning Mandarin. I highly recommend Li to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, patient, and supportive Chinese tutor.

Robert’a has been tutoring my son in Mandarin for several weeks now. She is patient and knowledgeable and established a great rapport with my teenage son. He is in his second year of high school Mandarin and needed additional help with grammar as well as the recitation of Mandarin poems for class. She has really been able to facilitate his learning and his confidence snd mastery in both areas has grown. We are very pleased.
