Effective & Efficient Tutor!

Amy is an excellent tutor! My daughter struggled with understanding and memorizing the pronunciation of different tones in the Mandarin language. Amy did an outstanding job of explaining and helping my daughter understand where the differences were in tone, usage, and pronunciation. My daughter said Amy is skilled in teaching, inspirational, highly resourceful, easy to understand, and worked at a good pace with her.

Great and encouraging teacher!

After first lesson with Amy, I felt more comfortable with pronunciation and making mistakes to aid in practice! I also left with clear notes about what we discussed and highlighted areas to practice to get better. She also shared several additional resources to aid in my own practice
