Lin has been working with my son since he started learning Mandarin 3 years ago. She is so talented and he loved working with her from the minute he started. Lin is genuinely interested in his growth in all areas of his life and he is now talking about one day being fluent. He even wants to work with her over the summers! Lin could not be more engaging and we are so grateful for the time she spends with our son.

Lin has successfully tutored my son (age 18) for the past seven years. She is incredibly organized and kind, has a fantastic sense of humor, and truly gets the work done. In the process, Lin manages to make studying Mandarin fun -- her patience and enthusiasm shine through. As a matter of fact, I am going to hire Lin for lessons with my younger son (age 11) this year because she will make all the difference! I highly recommend Lin to anyone, whether you are a beginner or an advanced student.

We have had such a wonderful experience with Ms. Lin. She works with both of my girls ages 12 and 8 - who are working at 2 different levels. She has introduced new concepts, words, and the foundation they need to continue to build their speaking, reading and writing skills. Both of my girls love working with her and she is great at keeping them focused, engaged and most importantly motivated!

My two children started learning Chinese from Lin recently and I have seen great progress so far. Lin is patient with kids and always comes prepared. My kids like Lin and don’t dread going to their Chinese class.

Lin is a superb teacher. She is very organized and makes the lessons interesting for my 16 year old son. I can already see progress as he gains confidence speaking in Mandarin. I highly recommend TalkOrange!

Lin is outstanding as a tutor. She engages the kids, has a great accent and motivates the kids to do the homework. As well brings in light ipad flash cards to keep the kids engaged to do work if using an ipad. But she will speak to the kids in mandarin from the moment she is in the house which makes the kids speak mandarin back or at least hear her and be thinking in Mandarin. She is excellent.

The innovative activities and knowledgable, yet patient, teaching definitely helped my daughter improve her Mandarin. She also loved the app-based homework assignments that were available.

Lin makes learning fun and interactive and has identified the best way to engage my children. She always prepares activities and materials in advance of the lessons and sets the children homework to complete each week. I’m very happy that we have found her!

Lin is amazing. She is professional and talented and demonstrates total dedication to the process. From understanding her client’s needs to customizing sessions to match their capabilities - she is quite impressive. Spot on punctual and always follows up on next sessions. I highly recommend her!
