Irina is a superb teacher that makes me more than comfortable to recommend her to anyone who is aspiring to further improve their Chinese level. She had been polishing my sentence structure together with taking notes for me. Aside from her strong dedication in teaching, Irina had always been very professional in all the lessons.
