Posted on KTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Having Kitty as your Mandarin Chinese teacher is pure joy - she brings energy and fun into learning what is definitely not the easiest language to tackle. I've been learning with her for a couple of years and made significant progress, and am now delighted to see her establish her own school. If you want to learn Mandarin with a native speaker who adjusts her style depending on your needs, and gives you confidence to start speaking, you have come to the right place.

I am a student of the HSK 4 group class and so far it has been loads of fun to studyw ith everyone. Kitty has been a great teacher, we usually have a good mix of reading, listening, and speaking practice through telling stories. She does a good job of making sure everyone is keeping up with the new material and listening to our feedback.

The best language experience ever! I have been studying different foreign languages my whole life, and I can assure that Caonima Mandarin School provides the best learning experience, out of all the schools I have tried. I have studied Mandarin Chinese for 2 years, and I have been enjoying every aspect of it. Kitty Yuan has a unique teaching approach, she makes all of the classes interesting and enjoyable and ensures that all aspects of learning the language such as reading, writing, listening, and speaking are always included in class. Thanks to her, I feel confident that I can continue learning Mandarin Chinese. I 100% recommend starting to learn Mandarin Chinese with Kitty. You will not only gain knowledge with her, but a new understanding and supporting friend, and break the myth about Mandarin Chinese being complicated.
