"Wonderful!!"
- Savannah, Waukesha, WI on 5/30/13I love my lessons with Yan, she makes Mandarin easy and fun. I would without a doubt recommend her to anyone trying to tackle the Chinese language.
"Engaging tutor that goes the extra mile"
- Becky, Hudson, FL on 7/24/17My 12 year old and 9 year old sons have had two lessons so far with Yan. She has an engaging style that keeps them focused for the entire hour. Being able to see what she writes and the pronunciation through Wyzant app is great. Yan goes the extra mile and sends follow up emails and texts with a recap of the lesson. Yan is amazing.
"Exceptionally Knowledgeable, Kind and Patient Tutor"
- Courtney, Harrisburg, PA on 5/30/17Yan is an amazingly talented tutor with an very patient teaching method. She is very receptive to her students needs and tailors the curriculum to reflect the students language level. I feel I have known her for years and I've only had one lesson.
"Great Start"
- Kristin, Lakewood, OH on 4/9/17Yan and my daughter had a great start to Chinese lessons. We look forward to more lessons. My daughter enjoyed Yan's teaching style. We will use Yan again this week.
"Patient and Practiced Tutor"
- Piper, Kaneohe, HI on 3/6/17Yan Laoshi is very intelligent, and is also an extremely patient tutor. She teaches speaking and listening, as well as reading and writing, all of which are very important in understanding Chinese.

- Khaya, Saint Petersburg, FL on 12/23/16Yan P has a great grasp of chinese culture and teaches relevant and important words and phrases to assist with learning chinese and the chinese culture. Yan P also assists with recognizing chinese characters and how to write them.
"Great tutor. Very nice and patient."
- Jim, Pomona, CA on 12/21/16Great tutor. Very nice and patient. Uses books and songs too. We're learning a lot. We appreciate her hard work and preparation. She is also very reliable, and sends us individualized mp3s and handouts after each lesson.
"Helped us out in an emergency"
- Sue, Los Altos, CA on 12/18/16Yan was a godsend last weekend. My son was struggling with creating a spoken high school finals project due in just 2 days time. Yan responded to an emergency appeal and set up an initial lesson within hours to review, correct and enhance the content of the speech and left him with a recorded example to practice with. Then they met again the next day for her to listen and further correct his pronunciation. He hasn't got the marks in yet but it greatly increased his confidence. The online system worked seamlessly even across a couple of time zones and Yan did exactly what we asked of her. Perfect & hassle free
"Excellent tutor"
- Lisa, Lyme, NH on 11/5/16Yan did an outstanding job covering the basic greetings, numbers, family vocabulary and songs in my daughter's first lesson. We are looking forward to the next lesson.
"A very good teacher"
- Rita, Land O Lakes, FL on 10/22/16She taught my son the strokes in the correct way so he can write much better. She also taught my son to pronounce the words in a proper way. He's already learned a lot more on the first lesson. Very fun to learn with Yan P.!
"Yan makes learning Chinese fun"
- Todd, Milwaukee, WI on 5/26/16For the first time I have found a teacher who is fun to work with and makes me believe I can actually become fluent in Mandarin someday!
"Best tutor I've ever had! Very smart and helpful."
- Willz, Waukesha, WI on 10/1/13Yan has helped me launch my Chinese learning. In a few lessons she already has me reading and writing Chinese characters. She is patient with me - but also pushes me to learn fast. As a native Chinese speaker who has also taught English, she understands all aspects of language and grammar, as well as cultural insights. She is fun to listen to and enthusiastic. I can't imagine a better Chinese tutor. She is exactly what I was hoping for when I asked to start. I would recommend her 100%. She is a "hen hao laoshi"!!!
"Excellent tutor!"
- Liana, Waterford, WI on 9/22/13Yang P is a great Chinese tutor. I have enjoyed my one on one tutoring sessions. Yang can help anyone learn Chinese language, and she will share her Chinese culture with you. She stresses the importance of the four tones in Chinese and the student's ability to recognize and write characters. In addition, she records useful Chinese mp3 audios for students to listen and practice with. I have learned more Chinese in my one on one sessions than in my classroom Chinese.
"Excellent"
- Phelan, Pewaukee, WI on 5/9/13I would recommend highly for occasional single lesson help or for a series of ongoing lessons. You will be satisfied.

For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students.
