Review by Greg
"Julissa has been tutoring me in Spanish for a few months. I needed to begin with the basics. Julissa is patient and very thorough. The lessons she prepare
s for me, she does on her own time. She is punctual and very personable. I look forward to my lessons once a week. They are fun and packed full of information. I will continue receiving tutoring form Julissa for as long as it takes for me to thoroughly learn the language. She is a gem in the rough and I would highly recommend her services."

"I know Mojy since she was working for DLI as a Senior Farsi Instructor and Curriculum developer. I was her student in 2007 and 2008. I happened to see her
profile online today, so I decided to give her my feedback. She is AWESOME. You will have learning with fun, if you are Mojy's student. I am glad to have found her online and I am planning to take some classes with this passionate and successful teacher to refresh my Farsi. Hey, about the Background Check, Dont even worry! She has Secret Clearance. and maybe higher, now."

Review by Katherine
"Mr. Psoras gave 4 lessons to my 8.5 yeal old daughter, Katherine. He evaluated her first for free, which was a clear indication that he works to achieve b
etter results rather than to make more money. Mr. Psoras was always on time, responsive, friendly, enthusiastic. Greek is his native language, and he knows how to teach. He is full of resources too, so you won't get bored. We had to stop lessons on line because of an opportunity to continue lessons in person."

Florentina has a passion for music that is infectious and a knack for teaching that is exceptional. I came to Florentina as a complete novice and she quickly analyzed my natural strengths and weakness and prescribed exercises that noticeably improved my singing within the first couple of lessons. We experimented with a number of songs and she helped me find pieces that both suited me and pushed me as a student. Most importantly, she's a great person. She makes her lessons fun, she's really funny, and she takes the time to get to know her students. I look forward to our weekly sessions and highly recommend that you choose her as an instructor, too!

About Melissa
I am a professional actor, singer, and teaching artist. I graduated from the University of South Carolina with a Bachelor of Arts in Vocal Performance (magna cum laude) and a Masters of Fine Arts in Acting.
My original background in music is in classical singing, but I teach several different styles, such as musical theatre and jazz. My favorite thing about teaching is watching students have breakthroughs and seeing their musicianship soar through the roof.

Dear students and friends,
I am thrilled to be part of your Mandarin learning journey. My passion for Chinese language and culture has led me to this site.
I was born in Chongqing and raised in Chengdu, China. I went to undergrad in Chongqing, majored in law and minored in English. I started my legal career in Beijing with a law firm and practiced Chinese law in various areas. Later on I went to U.S. for a Master of Law program and was admitted to New York Bar. I then practiced Chinese law both in Mandarin Chinese and English several years in China before I moved to the U.S. I also worked in a law firm in Frankfurt, Germany for six months as a young lawyer representative of Sichuan Lawyer Association.

communicator, and a good learner (there is always new thing to learn as a business lawyer).
My passion for Chinese language and culture initially comes from my family. My grandfather is a well-known Classic Chinese teacher and poet. My grandfather's brother (who I also call grandpa) is an expert on Tibetan Language and culture. My dad is a scholar on minority culture and religion. Also my mom was a Chinese teacher for several years. I was fascinated by the joy, beauty and satisfactions my family has showed and shared with me regarding Chinese language and culture while growing up. Luckily, on the path of learning, I also met several great teachers who guided me and inspired me. Besides the knowledge, most importantly, they taught me compassion and wisdom ( I am deeply grateful for that). It is my wish to help others in the same way.
