My 12 year old son loved this class. It was perfect for him. Sunny was patient, attentive, and very kind. My son left the class excited and ready for his second lesson.

Sunny is a great and a very patient teacher. We have been learning Mandarin with her for over 1.5 years now and the lessons are always good and helping with my 8-year old son’s progress in Mandarin. Sunny has come up with a system to further incentivise my son with his learning.

Teaching Approach
* Customized and Interactive Lesson
I can design individualized curriculum or courses based on each student's interests, goals and personalities. I'm passionate about teaching. I always adapt myself and my lessons to my students. You can learn at your own level, pace and style.
* Communicative and Effective
I can have conversation with you even you have very limited vocabulary. I can encourage you break the ice and build your confidence to talk in this beautiful language. If you're an advanced student, I can also give you video/audio homework and have a discussion on class by using the key sentence structure and core vocabulary in the video/audio.
* Easy and Fun lessons for Kids
For kids ages 4-12, we learn through their favorite songs, nursery rhymes, stories or cartoons . For teenagers, I would like them to give a summary, presentation or have a discussion, do a research or write an essay. Most of them are very motivated and our lessons are very engaged.
