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.

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 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 :)

谢谢 ！我太高兴 ！

My first lesson went very well! 老师 is very knowledgeable, organized and prepared. She initially assessed my Mandarin level and adapted her teaching from that. I can tell she is a great teacher!

谢谢, 刘晶! I appreciate your patience as I continue to learn :)
