From 2017 until now, I have tutored over 200 students from all over the world to learn Chinese. They come from different cultural backgrounds and have different levels of Chinese. With my help, they have all made significant progress in learning Chinese.

But don’t listen to me, listen to them!😉

I’ve been studying spoken Mandarin with Cristina for over a year. After 70+ hours my speaking and hearing ability has increased dramatically. Her easy-going lessons have opened my life in Shanghai to numerous possibilities at my work and allowed me to gain incredible friends with whom I wouldn’t be able to communicate if not for our lessons. I sincerely thank Cristina for bringing joy, understanding, and convenience to my foreign life abroad.

I have been taking lessons with Christina over the past several years, and my Chinese has improved tremendously over that period of time. Not only is she very patient and easy to talk to, but she is always prepared with fun and interesting discussion topics for our lessons (world events, popular entertainment, life in general, etc). I would highly recommend taking classes with her.

Learning Chinese with Cristina is an amazing experience! She is very calm and her teaching methods are very clear, concise, and easy to understand. She helped me get easy with the Chinese language. She is a very thoughtful teacher and her teaching materials are really great and helped me understand better.
I highly recommend Cristina for learning Chinese.

Learning Mandarin with Cristina has been an absolute pleasure. She brings an abundance of fun, dynamism and energy to our classes, yet also shows great patience in supporting me through my (many) areas of weakness! For anyone wanting to learn this fascinating but challenging language, you won’t find a better tutor than Cristina.

Cristina has been a tremendous help so far! She has been very patient and makes sure I understand before moving on to the next task. Working one on one with her has really improved my grasp is on grammar and understanding characters, not just picking up phrases. I started learning with an online course originally but will be sticking with Cristina for the long haul!

Cristina makes learning fun. Even though my Chinese skill is not that high yet, she makes it easy and comfortable for me to speak in Chinese. Most of all, I absolutely love that she teaches me the vocabulary that is actually used in daily conversation, as well as expressions that make my Chinese sound more natural. Cristina is patient and a joy to talk to.

Cristina is an amazing teacher! Her lessons are well prepared yet flexible, allowing us to wander off into topics like Chinese food, travel and regional cultures. Her relaxed teaching style and (endless) patience creates a fun learning experience,  especially for beginners.  Cristina is able to observer my progress, identify areas needing improvement and embed iterative touchbacks until I have learned each lesson.

"Cristina is an absolutely fantastic teacher. I started learning Mandarin from a young age but took quite a long break, so although I am not a beginner, I have forgotten some basic vocabulary and lacked confidence. However, since starting with Cristina my confidence has increased significantly and I am not afraid to make mistakes as there is no judgment. She is also able to explain sentence structures or vocabulary in flawless English. I used to dread going to Mandarin class back in secondary school, but I am always excited to have a lesson with Cristina. Couldn’t recommend a better or more fun teacher!!"
