Hsu Jiayun

I love my classes with Jiayun. The times flies by and I always feel motivated after class. She readily adapts the class to my interests and has an impressive collection of resources to supplement the class. She is super kind and encouraging, as well as professional and organized. I am looking forward to progressing with my Mandarin.

There are teachers that are simply good at speaking their mother tongue. Jiayun however is that kind of a teacher that knows every trick in the book. She literally knows every online tool and language smartphone app and she’s really trying to include new approaches of language learning. I enjoy her lessons a lot and it makes me feel a little awkward when she‘s better prepared than me 😳

Amazing teacher, who helped me a lot with my Mandarin. Skills and knowledge that Frances helps you to gain are invaluable. Frances loves her job and cares about the progress of her students. You'll start speaking Mandarin incredibly soon and your path to excellence will be fun and smooth. I highly and sincerely recommend Frances to everyone who wants to master this not-so-easy language.

I have worked with Jiayun for over 9 months as I have been preparing for a trip in which I will want to speak socially and understand some basic Mandarin Chinese. She has been encouraging througout. She has paid attention to my goals and used our time together well. She uses technology very effectively to help me find useful ways to practice outside of the lessons. I have enjoyed the lessons with her, and I have learned quite a bit!

Hsu was fantastic. She was very focused on the topics, making a plan for me to learn Mandarin, and catering it to my needs.

I’ve been taking lessons with Jiayun for a little over 6 months and I could not be happier! I’m always at ease with her, as she provides a comfortable environment for making mistakes and learning. Not to mention my pronunciation, confidence, and skill set has skyrocketed since booking with her. I cannot say enough good things about lessons with Jiayun. Thank you!!!
