My 7 year old boy is quite naughty, and before he started his lesson here, he just couldn't sit down to study Chinese. It felt great that he told me that he really liked his lesson. He thought it was really cool to talk to somebody in China and he is going to tell his friends about it. I am a happy mom! Thanks!

My child Stephanie is 8 years old. Her teacher Honglin is very patient and really knows the way to engage Stephanie. Honglin often tells stories and makes the lesson more interesting. Stephanie likes her teacher a lot and looks forward to her lessons all the time! Stephanie is so intrigued by China and Chinese culture right now. I would like to bring Stephanie to China next year!
