"My online experience have been really good. She really teaches you in a way that makes the class interesting, explaining not only the meaning of the word

but the social/cultural context of it from a native perspective. In addition, she have a very charming personality that makes learning Mandarin quite fun."

"It was a very good 1st lesson. I would give it 5 stars. This rating is for this lesson only. I am not saying she is the best instructor ever. As we pr

oceed with lessons I will make further evaluations from time to time; not after each lesson. Garrett"

There was a delay of about 10 seconds, but everything else was amazing

Jackie H. September 13, 2017

The audio and video were fuzzy at times, so he did not always know what Kelvin was asking him to do....so that is the missing star. Other than that he enjoyed the lesson very much.

I think personal face - face classes for painting would help better than online.
