“My name is Nicolas Berthiaume and, as of now, I have been taking mandarin Chinese classes with Chee-Lan Lo for about a year and a half on and off because of awkward and busy school schedules. Nonetheless, I have always been more than satisfied with her teaching. Through her unique and interactive style, she clearly teaches language skills from the very beginning to the more complex, preparing lessons and managing time so to allow you to learn what you really want to learn quickly, as well as helping you correct your mistakes and strengthen your weaknesses efficiently. As a matter of fact, I was able to understand tones – something I had been struggling with for a while before meeting her – from the first lesson, and in about six months I learned about 350 characters! Such achievements could only have been realised under Chee-Lan’s patient guidance, as her door has always stays open for students; indeed, no matter what the problem was, a simple E-mail or phone call would do, and she’d come back to me with a complete and comprehensive answer which helped me progress not only in class, but also at home. I would eagerly recommend her to anyone who wishes to learn Chinese and is serious about it, as Chee-Lan’s definitely the best I’ve seen with private tutoring.”

« Chee Lan est une professeure formidable : ses qualités de pédagogue sont indéniables. Patiente, elle s’adapte aux problème de l’élève, décèle ses lacunes et ses difficultés, et propose de très bonnes méthodes de travail. Elle conseille systématiquement les points à approfondir, les exercices à faire et les site internet intéressants. De plus, comme elle aime enseigner, son enthousiasme est communicatif. Elle est assurément une alliée de taille dans l’apprentissage du mandarin. Je la recommande sans hésitation : excellente méthode, gentillesse, disponibilité et flexibilité...Un vrai cocktail de réussite ! »
