Grace Yu (Adult/kid)

Two of my children have learned from Teacher Grace for 4 years now. They love her, and she has sparked in them a passion for Chinese. She is always encouraging and patient, and uses their interests to motivate them. She is always very conscientious, preparing in advance and sending us notes (eg slides and quizzes) after. Thank you Teacher Grace!! 😍😍😍

I have been learning with Grace for nearly 3 years now! I enjoy so much my classes with Grace because it is such a good mix of conversational talk and more formal grammar/vocabulary explanation based on textbooks. Grace is curious, enthusiastic and extremely encouraging. I have definitely improved so much with her!

I had the pleasure of studying with Grace as my online Chinese teacher for 1 hour. I cannot recommend Grace enough for anyone looking to learn Mandarin. From the moment I started my first lesson with Grace, I knew that I had made the right choice. Grace is an exceptional teacher with a passion for teaching Chinese to non-native speakers. Her teaching style is very student-centered, which means that they take the time to get to know their students and tailor their lessons to their individual needs. She is patient, kind, and always willing to go the extra mile to help their students succeed. One thing I particularly appreciated about Grace is her ability to explain complex Chinese grammar concepts in a way that is easy to understand. She is great at breaking down difficult topics into manageable pieces, which helped me to understand the language more effectively. Her lessons were always well-prepared, and she provided me with a lot of useful materials to practice with outside of class.

Ms Grace is an amazing Mandarin teacher. She has been really working on my daughters enunciation of the language, attention to detail with the characters, and pronunciation of the pinyin vowel tones. I’m very happy with her progression. Several months in and she understands a lot of the words now and cartoons on Netflix that we switch over to Mandarin.

Outstanding experience as always!

I was a little worried of feeling ashamed of how much vocabulary I have lost in my 6 month break. But you were so patient, encouraging, and kind as I pieced together what little I could remember. Thank you for always being a safe space to learn.
