Hannah Adult/Kid

I’ve come to know Hannah Lao Shi over the last 2 months and nearly 20 lessons. My goal was to reach the highest level of Chinese as quickly as possible within the year. I am really glad to have found her because she is a very great teacher as well as a kind person. She starts with building the basic fundamentals of pinyin and the rules of how tones interact. And she makes sure you do not stray from your fundamentals by pointing out and correcting whenever you err in future lessons. She is organized and keeps you focused on learning in an effective and comfortable pace and rhythm. In just a few weeks, I’m surprised I already feel much more confident with correctly speaking the difficult Chinese tone pronunciations, and even forming basic conversational sentences of my own. Hannah 老师 is a phenomenal instructor if you want to learn Chinese effectively. However, lastly I’d like to highlight the kind and caring person that she is. I’m grateful to have talked to her about life and culture.

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 :)

谢谢老师！I always enjoy my lessons with Hannah! We always have interesting conversations, and she uses the new words I learned in class in our lessons multiple times. This way I can practice using the words repeatedly to ensure I learn how to use the word properly. The conversations we have are not only interesting but also fun! Thank you as always!

I'm a few lessons in with Hannah and it has been going great. There is homework, vocabulary, and review, but also a fair bit of casual conversation that keeps things fun. The hour goes by very quickly and productively. Afterward, she sends lists of words I struggled with, forget, or just don't know so I can go over them for the next class. I look forward to many more classes :-)

Hannah是一个非常好的老师。我们看文章的时候，不仅会练习阅读，也会练习用简单的词汇为了解释文章的内容。说真的，在italki上她是最有效率的老师。
