testimonials
I strongly support your teaching philosophy in Chinese language learning for the young learners. Aiden says he has a lot of fun in your Chinese club! –Wen W.
Last year, I enjoyed learning some basic Chinese alongside Indira. This year the takeaway seems to be more cultural for her. Personally, I found her retell of the Chinese Zodiac and the reasoning behind the moonpie art quite fascinating! I can't wait to hear more when I pick her up in the coming weeks! –Renee W.
