Hi everyone! I am Karen, a native mandarin speaker from China. I have been teaching Chinese to foreigners and locals for more than10 years. I have experience in teaching students with diverse cultures and backgrounds. To be a good language teacher not only needs to have professional teaching skills, but also must be a patient listener,enthusiastic motivator,and empathetic colleague. My optimistic and energetic personality helps me.

I enjoyed the session with Karen a lot!! She is very nice and friendly, speaks very clearly, and her tones are also very understandable. She adapted her speaking pace so that I could understand everything she said. As we spoke, Karen gave me feedback and corrected my tones and words of choice, and after the class, she sent me a pdf file with the words and sentences I didn't know. The conversation flowed smoothly and time flew by! I think Karen is going to be of great help to my Chinese. Looking forward to the next session!!

I enjoy every class with Karen. She is easy to talk to, funny, and knowledgeable. I never feel judged when I don't understand or don't know what to say, and she helps me. I am gaining more confidence and a lot of practice in listening and speaking.

Karen is the best Chinese teacher to learn how to have a good conversation. She is interesting, funny, and patient. Before I started taking lessons with her, I felt scared to speak with anyone haha. But now after a few lessons I feel so much more confident in speaking.

This is my second lesson with Karen and she is easy-to-understand, patient, and helpful. She's knowledgeable about a lot of things, and gently corrects my mistakes. I like how she shares every new word or phrase in Hanzi and Pinyin, then sends me notes after class with everything we talked about. She is interesting and easy to talk to. I can never believe when the lesson is already over! 谢谢您!
