Testimonial
"I have been attending Jiaxing’s Mandarin class with my Kindergartener for the past year and a half. We love learning the Chinese language and culture together through songs and activities. Jiaxing mixes traditional Chinese songs and poetry with Chinese versions of songs already familiar to the children. Each week we are able to retain a theme (i.e.: colors, body parts, days of the week, etc.) as well as an aspect of Chinese culture (i.e.: traditions, customs, fables, etc.) . Jiaxing mixes arts and crafts, song, movement and media to present diverse concepts such as pinyin pronunciation, the tonal quality of the language and writing Chinese characters. I am constantly amazed at Jiaxing’s creativity in developing new and interesting games and activities to help the children learn to speak and write in Mandarin while having so much fun. We thoroughly enjoy learning Chinese together."
"Two of my children, age seven and age five, have been attending Jiaxing’s weekly Mandarin classes for two years. We have found Jiaxing to be tireless in her enthusiasm to inspire her students and incredibly creative in her methods of achieving the learning objectives. Jiaxing’s energy and charisma draw her students into her love of her culture. My children as a result have developed a deep interest in the Chinese culture, a love of the Mandarin language and an aptitude for writing Mandarin characters. On a daily basis they will launch into Mandarin songs, are constantly asking to listen to Mandarin CDs and are eager to understand more."
