What Happy
Students Say

“I have been learning mandarin with Teacher Phoebe to improve my communication with patients during my medical education. Teacher Phoebe is a hard-working and kind educator. She gives us the independence to plan what we would like to be taught in a way that is relevant to our current studies and she adapts to our needs effortlessly, always willing to come to class with a great enthusiasm to teach! She creates a safe environment for us to learn and practice new phrases on the spot so she can correct us. She also gives us homework to ensure that we continue practicing at home. I definitely look forward to every lesson with her and appreciate all the work that goes behind her teaching. She is also responsive to texts and willing to help us at any moment! Thank you Teacher Phoebe!”
