Kil Choe W.

7 Mandarin lessons

There are times when my son is not participating (90 minutes is a long time for a preschooler) and Sharon recognizes that he needs a break and doesn't force the lesson to continue. At times she will instruct him in Mandarin to run or jump, fast or slow. This is always fun whether we are inside or outside. And the days that she brings treats are very special! I think she goes above and beyond to make sure my son is enjoying the lessons and learning at the same time.

Alice gave me a very nice introduction to learning Mandarin pronunciation. She is understanding and patient and tries her best to make sure you understand and pronounce correctly.
