Sophie Lin

Sophie is an excellent teacher. She is very good at facilitating learning opportunities. The class pacing and overall ambience was just right for me. Altogether, I am very satisfied and looking forward to continuing to learn with Sophie 老师.

Thank you for another great lesson. Sophie is always well prepared with an interesting class. She is very patient and helpful with correcting my pronunciation and tones.

I had a great first lesson with Sophie! She was well-prepared, her teaching style is engaging and encouraging, her materials were excellent, and she was especially helpful in correcting my tones. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to study Mandarin.

Sophie speaks clearly and uses good learning tools. Will definitely recommend her and hire her again.

TLDR: I'm in the infancy stage of Chinese. She provides an extremely safe and flexible lesson environment, quick and active feedback pronunciation-wise, personalized vocab sheets, and gets you talking a lot in the language! Sophie is a fantastic language teacher! I am within my first month of learning Mandarin Chinese, but have previously attained conversational fluency in French. I have found that the best sign of a language teacher is that both: 1. The lesson time flies by AND 2. You were speaking the target language almost the entire time. The second one is not a given as a beginner, but is so important. Sophie makes sure you're always trying to speak and gives such good feedback anytime you attempt to speak. Her lessons are 100% customized for you, and always sends a list of all the new words with their meanings & pinyin afterwards. Personalized reviews in the beginnings of lessons and she is *always* ready to answer cultural questions as well as random language questions. :)

Sophie is a great and patient teacher. She encouraged me to make sentences and helped me form natural Chinese sentences. Her classes are very fun too, I even didn't realize we already finished our class lol. Guys, I highly recommend to try her lessons!
