Why learning Mandarin with Dr. Li? 为什么要跟李老师学中文?

Great Mandarin Tutor — I had the pleasure of working with Jian the last few months. She is incredibly patient and really help me hone in on my conversational Mandarin. My business travel takes me to mainland China (mainly Beijing) so it was important for me to have a native who speaks Mandarin with the Beijing accent. I liked Jian so much that I will be signing up my 2 kids with her.

Highly Recommended — Dr. Li: I'm writing to let you know how much we appreciate your work. My kids have been studying Mandarin for 4 years now and last year, the year they have been studying with you as their teacher, their progress has been outstanding! Your practical and fun way to teach keeps them very alert and engaged. I would recommend you to anybody that wants to learn Mandarin.
