I've learned Chinese before as a kid but stopped before i reached fluency and forgot a lot over a decade of no practice, but Lulu's approach to teaching is helping me build my confidence back up and make learning feel fun. I already feel myself improving after 3 lessons and am very motivated to be better than I was back then.

I've had 11 online private classes with Lulu now and she's an excellent teacher. As an adult student, she very quickly gauged my Chinese level and formulated a lesson plan tailored to my goals and skillset. She is patient and knowledgeable. I appreciate the opportunity to practice my Chinese every week and learn new vocabulary outside of what's taught in textbooks.

Until now, I had six lessons with Lulu. Chinese is not easy for me, and I am regularly overloaded with my job, so that I don't have enough time to study alone in a proper way. Lulu is always very patient and take her time to explain me everything I don't understand. She estimated my level very quickly and really helps me to proceed. I already noticed the first results and will definitely continue to study with Lulu. Thank you Lulu, it is a great experience to be your student
Learning another foreign language, especially Chinese, can be challenging but also very rewarding and exciting.
I can help. I know the difficulties in learning a new language and can set your mind at ease by understanding your strengths and weakness (everyone is different), and designing a fun, relaxed learning plan specifically for your abilities and your needs.
Let's learn together!
