Laoshi's teaching style makes my son feel fully engaged in the subject. A very good fit!

Elaine is friendly. A experience mandarin tutor. My boy would like to attend her class as she is able to explain clearly. She is able to create a comfortable study atmosphere and yet not a rigid study.

My friend and I joined Elaine through the trial classes in the past 2 weeks Elaine is a very nice and patient teacher, she has conducted the class with fun and interactive ways by using jam-boards, homework and etc We are both both beginners and Elaine managed to teach and guide us through almost all of the hiragana within 4 classes! Including writing, reading and the pronunciations. Not only that, we’ve also learnt some basic greetings and almost 120 nouns within the sessions from Elaine As working adults, we had some adhoc conflicting meetings with the classes and Elaine was very considerate about this, she’ll move the sessions earlier for us which we are very grateful about this. Will definitely recommend anyone to join Elaine for learning Japanese! Can’t wait for the future sessions with her!

Great tutor, very flexible with scheduling lessons and patient with beginner lessons. Would highly recommend.

I would like to give a shout-out here to my teacher, Elaine who's always committed to our Chinese lesson each week. Elaine has always been so patient in teaching someone who knows nothing about Chinese language like me. She would prepare me with adequate materials beforehand and always ready to answer each questions I ask although they are not in our materials. Elaine also has a very nice personality that I would like to recommend her to everyone. She has the best quality of tutor that you might seek for. Thanks Elaine ☺️

Elaine is fantastic, I have fun learning Mandarin with her and looking forward to learning new things every class. Very recommended for beginner students like me. Xie xie loushi.

She is a great tutor. I made a special request for her to give my 9-year-old daughter English lessons and she accepted. She is dedicated and well-prepared. She provides lessons with play and other activities to keep my daughter interested.

She is tutoring my autistic 22 year old. Heart of gold. I told her my aim is for my daughter to take up the subject without stressing it on an academic level. My brief was simple - I would appreciate a downtime of half hour at the end each session for them to chat about Japanese lifestyle, anime - anything to do with Japanese culture. These are modern times and she needs to learn it the fun way. Elaine picked my cue and my daughter has been growing and making the effort to learn. When given homework, there were times when my daughter was lazy. Instead of reprimanding her, Elaine has a way to encourage her to focus back on the studies and drawing her back to her responsibility. One thing I like (and this isn't by my request) - Elaine texts me the girl's progress after every session, what has been taught and her response during the online session. Makes the parent super happy, and I see the glee in the daughter's eyes when learning.

Elaine is a fantastic tutor with high level Japanese language skill. I really enjoy having lessons with her ^_^
Susanna, Apr 1, 2023
Elaine is a wonderful tutor. We had many sessions with her at our home while visiting KL. She instantly bonded with my 6- and 4-year-old children. They learnt mandarin through both desk time/writing, artwork and play. They love singing the songs that Elaine taught them. I highly recommend Elaine as a tutor
