I really appreciated your evaluation, Carol. Although I teach many high schoolers, your daughter Elizabeth is one of the good students, studying hard and paying attention in class. I am delighted to have her in my class.

Enthusiastic and Engaging Tutor

Cecilia made my son fall in love with learning Mandarin at the first lesson. She makes learning interesting, exciting, and practical. She has an unstoppable passion to energize students. Her passion makes a day-and-night difference. If you look for a passionate Mandarin tutor, Cecilia is the top choice.

I am very glad to meet you and your son. We made some progress in a short time. I hope he will continue to study!

Excellent Mandarin tutor

Cecilia is knowledgeable, communicative, and has a good rapport with our 6-year-old son. I can confidently recommend her to anyone with children learning Mandarin.

Christina, 11 lessons with Cecilia

Tutor responded:

Appreciate your comment! Engaging the young children is a challenge and needs a much longer time to create a study plan for them. I am glad your son is in my class, and both of us are enjoying the class very much! He is 6 years old. He started from can focus on one activity about 10-15 min. Now he can stay focused for 45-50 min between a couple of activities.

Great first lesson

My daughter had her first lesson with Cecilia and she really enjoyed it. Cecilia took the time to look at the materials from my daughter’s class and incorporated those into her lessons. We will have lessons with her again!

Cecilia is a great teacher who always customizes her lessons for me. I am learning at a very quick pace thanks to her teaching style and I feel more prepared for my trip to China. Thank you Cecilia!

Tutor responded:

Thank you so much, Dom. You are motivated! We really did the fast speed with your twice-a-week frequency, which also is a key. We have done many practices and learned useful words for your business. We will continue to have classes while you are in China!

A perfect match!

Cecilia is a top-notch Mandarin tutor. My teenage daughter attended a Mandarin immersion elementary school program for six years, but she has been almost entirely away from the language for the past two years. In just a few short months of working with Cecilia, my daughter's Mandarin proficiency has already eclipsed what it was when she graduated elementary school and she's learning new material quickly. Since my wife and I do not know any Mandarin, Cecilia is our daughter's only guide. Cecilia is very encouraging, clear, and organized. My daughter looks forward to her sessions with Cecilia. Plus, the book series she works from is accessible. We are lucky to have found Cecilia!

Brian, 115 lessons with Cecilia

Tutor responded:

Thank you so much for commenting on your daughter's study with me, Brian. She is bright, and we worked on her recall vocab and learned more on grammar, which she did not learn in immersion classes. In a short time, we are getting into a level that already above her previous level, so she is facing new challenges and moving forward fast. Thank you for your support!

Wonderful!

Cecilia has been working with my 12 y.o. and she is an amazing tutor! My kiddo has taken Mandarin at school for years but has learned more from Cecilia in the last 2 months than at school.

Thank you so much, Moira, for your feedback. I deeply appreciate to get feedback from you, a teacher yourself! I know your daughter has learned Chinese in a Chinese immersion class, and it is very different from my class. Your daughter is a superb student; I have such a good time learning with her in class! Thank you again for sending her to my class.
