📣Kid/AP/Adult-Lydia

Something amazing happened with my son’s Chinese last week that really surprised us! We walked into a Chinese restaurant, and he not only ordered our food entirely in Chinese but even struck up a conversation with some of the other Chinese speakers there! We couldn’t be prouder. He said he felt confident thanks to Lydia’s lessons, where they cover all sorts of topics using fun videos, pictures, and structured practice. Now, he’s also getting more interested in reading Chinese characters. He loves how Lydia uses pictures, stories, and games to make characters stick. We’re so grateful to have Lydia as his teacher and couldn’t recommend her more!

I have had 23 lessons with Lydia and I am very happy with what I have accomplished thus far. Her dedication, innovative teaching methods, and unwavering support have transformed my language learning experience. Lydia's patience is a true asset that sets her apart as an outstanding educator. She takes the time to understand my learning pace and preferences, customizing each lesson to ensure it aligns perfectly with my needs. Her lessons are comprehensive and engaging. I appreciate the well-rounded approach she takes, which includes typing exercises, grammar lessons, sentence structure , and dialogue practice. Her creative strategies for memorizing Chinese characters have made learning characters both entertaining and memorable. Lydia's positive and supportive demeanor has been instrumental in boosting my confidence. She creates an environment where making mistakes is not only acceptable but an essential part of the learning process. I highly recommend Lydia. 😊

I've been studying with Lydia for over a year now, and I can easily say it was one of the best decisions I've made to improve my Chinese. From the start, Lydia has been extremely adaptable to my individual needs as a student, and has continuously made an effort to keep the material fresh, interesting, and suitable to my learning level in each lesson. When I first started learning with Lydia I could mostly just repeat fixed phrases in conversion, but after a year I've become much more comfortable speaking Chinese than I ever thought possible. Her encouragement and gentle corrections have pushed me to constantly make improvements and redouble my efforts outside of class. I can wholeheartedly recommend Lydia to anyone who would like to take their Chinese to the next level.

Lydia gives me homework that helps me memorize new vocabulary and remember different grammatical structures. The class and the content taught in the class are entertaining and engaging.

我们每次上课，我们讨论有意思的话题，并不是无聊的！一个小时过的真快！

Clear communication and feedback, and a plan for how to work on my problem areas.
