Melissa Chen

Excellent class. I learn so much vocabulary in Melissa’s class. Melissa helps me become confident because she gives me more words to express my thoughts. Every class is interesting and different because we cover many useful topics that I can use in my daily life. After class I always copy the characters and pinyin she gives me because it helps me retain the vocabulary. I highly recommend Melissa as a teacher. She is also helping my husband and he is becoming so much better in his speaking.

Melissa makes very efficient use of lesson time. I just had a 30-minute lesson with her so she could see what level my Chinese is and she still managed to squeeze a vocabulary lesson into that short time. Her English level is very high, so she has no trouble understanding you if you need to say something in English. But she's a good teacher because she still speaks Chinese even when you as the student drift into English. She keeps you feeling like you are immersed in a Chinese conversation, so your brain won't revert back to English thinking and lose the Chinese state of mind.

Mellisa 是个很专业的老师，会慢慢细心的去教我女儿，非常喜欢这个老师

Melissa is the best! We've worked with her for three years now and are learning a ton! Would definitely recommend her.

Melissa is awesome. We've been working with her for years and she's amazing as a Mandarin teacher.

Each lesson with Melissa is very enjoyable and packed with opportunities to practice and learn and I always eagerly look forward to the next class. Whether we are discussing news, culture or other topics; doing practice guided reading; or reviewing practice essays I have written, I always get great feedback and explanations about subtleties of the language that are difficult to learn by myself. Thank you for another great class!
