    The teacher was very friendly and had ideas for the appropriate action plans fairly quickly based off of the initial conversation we had. She encouraged me to send her materials of interest to me, so that it would be an engaging and fun lesson.

    Lisa is a really amazing tutor. She is also great with young children. She managed to keep my son occupied during the duration of the lesson despite his small attention spans (due to his young age). Lisa is a lovely tutor, friendly and easy-going and I recommend her to anyone who is interested in learning Chinese!
