Hannah⭐Adult/Kid

The best Chinese teacher on italki! I started as a complete beginner, and by the 2nd lesson, I could already read Chinese characters. I'm amazed that I haven't spoken a word of English during her lessons. Even though Hannah only speaks Chinese during her lessons, I understand her completely. Despite not having a strong reason to learn Chinese, I persist because of Hannah's excellent teaching skills.

I have taken lessons with many different Chinese teachers and I think Hannah is one of the best out there. She always makes sure to only speak Chinese during our lessons so that I get lots of listening practice, and even though my Chinese level is still very low, I never have trouble understanding because she always explains things very well using words I can understand, and is very patient when I need to hear things a second or third time. Our lessons involve a good balance of reading, speaking and listening, working through activities as well as just general conversation practice. I believe I have learned a lot since my first lesson 谢谢你老师 :)

Hannah老师 is the best! 谢谢！

When we practice conversation, I am always grateful that Hannah uses words I learned recently or new words she recently taught me so I can learn in context. She is a great conversationalist and the topics we cover are always interesting. She is always patient when I think of a word and uses Chinese to help me when needed [never English]. 谢谢老师！

I really appreciate how Hannah 老师 provides opportunities for me to speak. She is able to see which character pronounciation I am struggling with and makes sure to circle back to ensure I understand it. It's been almost three months of consistently studying with Hannah, and I'm proud of my progress. I have learned so many characters, and I'm beginning to become comfortable with forming sentences. I know there's a long way to go, but I'm excited about what's to come. 😊

谢谢老师！Thank you for being accommodating and understanding my needs as a student. I always appreciate when you circle back to something that I may have been confused on to ensure that I understand it before continuing.
