This review is long overdue on my end, but I hope it will help beginners decide on a Mandarin teacher. I have been taking lessons with Ying Shuang for a few months now and I am extremely pleased with our lessons. She is dedicated and punctual, while also providing me with much needed flexibility. She adapts her lessons to suit my level, identifies my areas of improvement and provides feedback on how I can improve my shortcomings. Learning a new language is no small feat, but Ying Shuang makes the process easy and fun. She constantly offers encouragement while pushing me to do better. I would highly recommend her as a teacher for any level.

I moved out of China before I was able to develop full literacy in Chinese, but had experience with the spoken language and recently decided to try and learn Chinese properly. After a couple of lessons with her, she has been very flexible in accommodating my unique circumstances and I feel myself making progress with every lesson. She is definitely a teacher that is passionate about helping her students achieve their goals and I would recommend her to anyone who wants to learn Mandarin.

Yingshuang is a great Mandarin teacher. I contacted her as a complete beginner and have seen great progress since starting my lessons. I can confidently ask questions and communicate within particular scenarios, after only a few months tutoring! Yingshuang is patient and will help you keep moving forward. Practice is a must with Mandarin as it is a hard language to learn but Yingshuang will help you address problems you're having and give you recommendations along the way. We have built a great student/teacher relationship and I look forward to continuing my lessons throughout this year!

I loved our first lesson and I would recommend her to anyone who wants to learn Mandarin!

I am very advanced in Mandarin already and although this teacher mainly teaches beginners, she was very upfront and honest about my goals. Since hiring her, she has worked with me very carefully to get towards said goals and I am sure that I will attain them. She is understanding, helpful, and very knowledgable. I would recommend her to anyone looking to learn Mandarin, regardless of their level.
