From former and current students:Norbert Funke: "I think you are a great teacher even for people that have already intermediate experience. Great adabtibily on the learning level. Always liked our sessions and helped me alot. - Norbert"Spenser Stone: "Tracy Lin is passionate about teaching Mandarin and a highly effective instructor. Within a few months under her tutelage I turned a long time wish for learning the language into the ability to express myself in Mandarin sentences. I built a solid foundation in the language which has served me well in university level studies. This was due to her thouroughness in Mandarin instruction--on a weekly basis I received personalized lesson plans and audio recordings to take home after class. This level of interaction is a great asset in the language learning process. If you want to get started learning the language this is the way to do it! - Spenser" Aldo: "I highly recommend Tracy for learning Chinese. She is a native speaker and allows ample time for proper tone pronunciatation and conversation. We cover book learning as well as additional handout materials that fill in the missing parts that a personal tutor can only do. - A.D."Ben Tyler: "I took private lessons with Tracy for over a year, and she helped me tremendously with improving my Mandarin level. She created personalized lessons for me with painstaking care. I highly recommend Tracy to anyone wanting to learn Chinese. - Ben"Mikael Waernlund: "I have taken weekly classes with Tracy in Mandarin for over two years. The classes are well rounded with spoken practice, grammar practice and verbiage practice. Tracy also produces excellent MP3 discs for extra practice. She has also promoted multi student classes, cultural Chinese event for getting exposed to Chinese language and culture. She is a persistent and excellent teacher and very knowledgeable in Mandarin. I can strongly recommend her for any level of Mandarin training. - Mikael"
