Lia

I've had a few classes with Lia and am extremely impressed by her skills as a teacher. She is very friendly, adaptable to your level, and make lessons thoroughly enjoyable. I plan on continuing our lessons well into the future.

I have completed 20+ lessons with Teacher Lia and I can advise anyone who is looking for well structured, fun and insightful Chinese classes to give Teacher Lia a try. I am getting a deeper understanding of what I’m learning which is priceless.

Lia is an amazing teacher. My daughter (12) has been learning with her, a couple of times a week, for about two years and she has made wonderful progress. Until now, she had been focussed on speaking but not she is also working on her reading and writing.

I just had my 7th or 8th lesson with Lia Laoshi, and I’m genuinely impressed by her dedication and patience. She consistently puts in so much effort to help me improve my conversational skills, even when I struggle to find the right words. Her structured approach and encouragement make each lesson productive and enjoyable. I appreciate how she pushes me out of my comfort zone while still making me feel supported. Thanks to her, I’m becoming more confident in speaking and recognizing vocabulary. I’m grateful for her commitment to helping me achieve my language goals!

This is my 6th time studying with Lia Laoshi, and I can already feel significant improvement. Before this, I had been self-studying Mandarin for 3 months and thought I was doing well, but enrolling with Lia Laoshi made me realize how much more I needed to improve, especially in speaking and conversation. Thanks to her guidance, I’ve started recognizing more vocabulary during conversations and feel a bit more confident when speaking, even if I’m still a bit slow. I’m excited to keep learning and improving under her teaching!

My third lesson with Lia lǎoshī. I always feel confident speaking mandarin after class because of lǎoshī. She encourages me to speak even if it’s not perfect, she corrects my words and sentences. Though I need to really take characters seriously because I have hard time recognizing them. Thanks lǎoshī!!
