Online Mandarin Chinese Tutor

Rae L.

Knowledgeable, easy to follow, patient

One of the marks of a good tutor is their skills in the language of the student. This helps them explain how to speak in the language the student is learning. Rae's pacing is great, her pronunciation is easy to understand (Beijing style Mandarin), and she writes it out in pinyin as she is speaking which helps learners who need to both hear and read pinyin to retain the information.

Very helpful with pronunciation and character writing!

So far we have covered a couple hundred characters including writing(i love calligraphy!), pronunciation such as tones and pinyin, and even etymology to help with memorizing the meaning of the characters. We have also worked a lot on formulating sentences recently since the grammar is a bit different in mandarin to English! Had a great time so far learning mandarin and looking forward to more!

She tailors the lesson to my needs. She goes out of her way to suggest authentic chinese dishes that are vegetarian.

Rae did all of the above and she recorded words and phrases on my phone so I could practice. A delight to work with. And so patient with me as a senior citizen.

She's great!

I feel like I'm learning a lot with Rae. Not only are we covering characters and speaking, but we're getting into the nitty-gritty of grammar concepts. Highly recommend her!

Reliable and Dependable

My middle schooler enjoys working with Ms. Rae. She is patient with him and makes sure he gets all the nuances of articulating and pronouncing workds in the right way.

Kind and Results-Focused

Rae is an excellent tutor. She creates a supportive and encouraging environment that makes learning feel natural and enjoyable. Each session is structured with reviews of previous lessons and meaningful conversation practices. I am new to Mandarin and am gaining confidence in both speaking and listening after every lesson. I really appreciate the patience and genuine encouragement she brings to each session.

Great with kids

Rae tutors our daughter who is almost 6. They work on vocabulary and simple reading. She used material we provided and also adds her own material to make the lesson informative and fun for our daughter. She is really patient and has been flexible with the schedule. We highly recommend her as a tutor for Chinese!

Knowledgeable and patient

My son had his first session with Rae and he enjoyed the conversation. He went to a mandarin immersion elementary school but is now at a school that doesn’t have mandarin so we wanted something to keep his mandarin going. Rae did a great job of getting him to speak and figuring out where he is. She kept him engaged, was patient, and the session seemed to flow great.

Fantastic & Patient Tutor

Rae is a wonderful teacher. I have a couple learning disabilities and have had many different Chinese tutors. Rae is by far the best because she is incredibly patient, genuinely wants you to understand the material, and makes sure to go at your own pace. She wants you to understand what you are learning and wants to minimize the stresses of learning a new language. Rae is fantastic at making me less intimidated with learning Chinese by breaking down the grammar of the language and learning it step by step. Her mission is to help you learn and not frustrate you. She is incredibly patient, intelligent, kind, and most importantly she genuinely cares about her students. I would recommend her to anyone wanting to learn Chinese.
