“I found Lin online to teach Mandarin to our 6 year-old son. After several months of lessons, Harrison is loving his classes. I attribute his enthusiasm for learning Chinese to his teacher, Katy, who brings a real passion to her work. Harrison looks forward to seeing Katy twice a week, and we are thrilled with his progress.”

“Lin is an outstanding teacher. I’ve studied at the advanced level in the best Chinese language programs in the world, and I say with great confidence that Lin’s teaching ability is of the highest caliber. She’s passionate, engaging, fun, and takes her work very seriously. Highly recommended. ”
— Thor F. from Stamford
“Lin is outstanding as a tutor. She engages the kids, has a great accent and motivates the kids to do the homework. As well brings in light ipad flash cards to keep the kids engaged to do work if using an ipad. But she will speak to the kids in mandarin from the moment she is in the house which makes the kids speak mandarin back or at least hear her and be thinking in Mandarin. She is excellent.”
