My LTL Teacher did a great job of tailoring the lessons to my needs as a European languages teacher learning Mandarin to potentially teach UK pupils in the future.

Our online Zoom lessons allowed for plenty of speaking practice and my teacher used the online whiteboard to give lots of support in both characters and pinyin.

The sessions had mainly a speaking focus and this is exactly what I was looking for.

I highly recommend these online lessons.

I changed the face to face Chinese lessons to online lessons.

After some weeks experiences with Sara, I have to say that the online lessons with Sara are working very well and we both are satisfied with the results of the lessons.

Currently I have 3 lessons per week and really enjoy the big flexibility of the online lesson.

We have started to use Skype and it is really great. While video conferences are in progress, Sara can write the vocab with translation and I can see it on my screen for 2 seconds.

At the end of the lesson, I get the complete vocab as PDF or Word document and I can save it for my review later.

I would also like to mention that Ms. Sara Cao is a very disciplined and great teacher. She is always task oriented and really professional Chinese teacher. In short version, she is the best teacher, which I had before, even if she is sometimes a very strict teacher.

We plan to continue with online learning because it is much more effective and flexible for me.

We have been taking classes with Snow at LTL Beijing since October. We recently began taking online classes due to the virus and I recommend it very highly.

The lessons are relevant to our goals (speaking and listening proficiency at the moment) so we don’t waste time learning things that are not helpful for our situation.

Our teacher is patient and helpful with correcting our mistakes.

I can say with certainty that my Mandarin has improved thanks to these classes and I intend to continue taking them.

I had one week of online classes with LTL, and it is highly recommendable.

Everything about the online classes was great, except the fact that I only had 4 hours of class every day – would have loved to study even more with my teacher.

The classes were good because of 3 things.

Firstly, I learned a lot of new vocabulary (I am still at HSK2, so still really new to learning Chinese).

Secondly, I improved my Hanzi significantly (Learned around 70-100 new characters that week).

Finally, my teacher was good at teaching me about the Chinese culture which I enjoyed. If you have a chance to do these online classes and have the slightest interest in learning Chinese, DO IT!

We started studying the textbook, we are using Skype, and Celine is really good at intuitively understanding my needs and level.

I’m enjoying taking my time to really understand concepts and ask questions about similar words.

She’s also helping me practice during class by asking me questions and coming up with sentences of my own.

I really enjoy studying with her! Also, her English is good so it helps when I’m looking to clarify something. I can tell that she cares.

Her personality is warm so it helps because we are taking classes online together.

I enjoys that she gives me homework after each lesson. I enjoy writing in Chinese and I’ve been writing dialogue and essays this week.

I ordered the workbook so I think this is going to help to make sure I am accountable to the content of the class.

I’m the type of student that enjoys having homework and a lot of practice so I don\’t mind having more than one homework.

Great. What I really like about Ana is that she always starts off challenging me with knowledge from the other HSK 1 lessons.

She gave me a lot of drills and really helped me understand the topic, spending extra time when we ran a bit over to ensure I had sufficient grasp of the concepts.

The teachers do a great job of getting my mind back into the mode immediately engaging me into discussion from the beginning and trying to use my full vocabulary from all of HSK 1. I really appreciated this and her patience in working with me.

For just over a month I have been having online lessons with my teacher Snow from LTL.

Snow sends me a really good power point file before each lesson. I open this on my laptop, then we communicate via video call in WeChat.

Like this we see each other, which makes it more friendly.

If she wants to write something on a board, she is doing it via WeChat chat. This works perfectly fine. So I am looking forward to each lesson and I am learning a lot.

If I have questions after the lesson, I am able to contact her as well by WeChat.

I really can recommend it and I am happy to improve my Chinese during these unusual times.
