I have been teaching Mandarin to adults and children.  I pay attention to each of my learner’s learning style and speed to make sure they enjoy learning Mandarin. 

As English is not my native language, I fully understand the challenges of learning a foreign language. Therefore, I meticulously prepare for each class to ensure that I can assist learners in achieving their language goals.  

Feedback from learners includes: “Vivien is very patient with young students.”  “Ms. Vivien is very nice and well prepared. My child loves to speak Chinese with her!” “Very engaging teacher! She cares a lot and takes the time to customize the homework. Will sign up again!”  “My 13 yr old thoroughly enjoyed this class! Vivien had a planned curriculum and provided excellent guidance throughout the entire camp. It was fun and engaging. My daughter loved the class and looked forward to it every day! She learned SO MUCH!”  “My daughter liked the teacher very much and believes that she learned a lot. We’ll be signing up for more private sessions.”  “Vivien Laoshi is great! Very engaging, patient and professional. We will sign up again!” “Vivien created a comfortable learning environment and was great about assigning light homework and sharing resources to support my daughter’s learning. I look forward to continuing signing up for Vivien’s Classes!”  “I contacted Viven because my son has been in a Mandarin Chinese school for 6 years and I wanted/needed to find a fun way for his to practice over the summer.  Vivien was nice enough to schedule an evaluation and give feedback on the session.  I hope to continue with Vivien and wish her success on Outschool.”  “My daughter has been resisting learning Mandarin for quite some time.  I thought I'd give this class a try since it's low commitment and uses a game.  She liked it and wants to take more!  I will be signing up for more classes with Vivien.“  “Excellent class to review and learn new material.”
