►Student's testimonials:
The best language teachers go beyond the syllabus to provide a holistic learning experience. Claire is one of the best. She is patient but tenacious in her mission to bring out the very best in her students. I'm only a beginner in Mandarin but I've already learned so much about the technical aspects of the language and also about Chinese culture more generally. Claire's teaching style cements knowledge learned through fun and engaging lessons which elicit enthusiastic participation in a supportive and encouraging classroom environment. Her lessons are something to look forward to. I've already signed up for the next course and cannot wait to get stuck in!

Claire is a patient, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable teacher. I really enjoyed my lessons with her, but most importantly, I learned a lot! In just a few short weeks, I was able to ask for directions, participate in basic Chinese conversation, order at restaurants, and much more. Claire’s unique approach to language-learning can easily be tailored to fit your individual needs. If you’re thinking about learning Chinese, don’t even think twice and call Claire!
-Alison Seymour , Canada
Claire’s lessons are fun, professional and motivating. She is always well prepared and explains everything in a appropriate manner. For me as a beginner I feel well taken care of and beside learning the Chinese language, I get to know the Chinese culture. On my trip to Taipei I could take advantage of my mandarin language skills and I had a great time. Thanks to Claire my Chinese is steadily improving.
-Andreas, Germany
I have been learning Chinese for 7 months with Claire. She is patient, motivating, and adapts to my own rythm. She makes the lesson fun, and put sincere efforts in helping me to improve my Chinese. In every lesson, she includes vocabulary, pronunciation, writing, and exercises. Thanks to her teaching, I am now able to have some basic communications and read simple sentences. When I was looking for a Chinese teacher, I visited several teachers, but she was the only one I felt confident to learn Chinese with. After 7 months, I can really say that I made the right choice, because Claire is a great teacher! Go Claire!
