        Professional Chinese teacher with 7 years of experience  — I think the ultimate aim of learning a language is to speak it, so my class focus more on speaking and listening and you will do most of the talking. During the class you don't need to take notes because after class, I will send you the class notes and some homework.

        "Anna is a fantastic teacher, she sticks to the Target language, only using English when I really need it. I feel a lot more comfortable speaking Chinese, and feel I will have a huge increase in my ability thanks to her teaching. :) "
