Susie (Kids& Adults)

Susie is a natural-born teacher (great instincts for when to challenge me, when to indulge me, when to change topics/methods), who also extremely diligent (always prepared with materials for our lessons, and often with homework to assign, and also sends me class notes afterwards). (It's a really rare combination, as many gifted teachers don't bother putting in the work, and no amount of diligence can make up for a lack of natural talent.) Our lessons are both fun and challenging, she happily lets me steer her off topic with random questions (which she answers brilliantly), but always manages to bring us back on track, and she also frequently circles back to things I learned in previous lessons, so I don't forget. I really can't rave about her enough, although I selfishly hope she doesn't get too popular, because I don't want other people to steal my timeslots, and I plan to continue with her for a long time!

My daughter really enjoys the lessons and I appreciate Susie's flexibility in adapting the lessons to our needs. Susie is super organized and always sends a summary of what was learned including new vocabulary for reinforcement. It is evident that she really enjoys teaching. Thanks Susie! We look forward to more lessons in the future!

Susie is very kind! I learnt a lot just in my first lesson. Very excited to keep learning !

Very encouraging teacher! My daughter has been with her over a year now.

Great teacher!

Enjoyed my first lesson with Susie. I know nothing in Mandarin - and she explained the basics to me really well. Will take a lesson with in the future - A+, highly recommended
