Alisha is very patient and motivates students to continue learning. She is very organized and the lessons are very useful. I highly recommend her as a tutor. UPDATE: Its been 7 months already having Alisha as my tutor. Lessons are more challenging now and sometimes is hard to keep up, and find time to practice on my own. However, Alisha makes the class very enjoyable, and that is one of the main reasons I have been able to continue. I like that we have an organized approach. We first review vocabulary with flash cards, then we learn some grammar, and practice short conversations. I also like doing the homework as it helps me to practice on my own. I feel I am doing good progress, it takes time, but I can even read some basic traditional Chinese characters. I hope I can continue learning at my own pace with such a reliable and nice tutor.

I have been learning with Alisha "紫綺" for over eight months, and I cannot recommend her highly enough as a Mandarin tutor on Preply. She consistently tailors our lessons to my evolving needs-whether it's casual conversation, expanding my vocabulary, or understanding how to engage appropriately in Taiwanese cultural contexts. I really appreciate how she adapts her teaching style and materials, from structured textbook chapters and homework to custom-made exams and creative exercises, making every lesson both productive and enjoyable. Alisha is incredibly flexible and attentive, always willing to adjust our focus as my learning goals change. Our sessions are not only effective but also genuinely fun, which keeps me motivated week after week. If you're looking for a tutor who listens, personalizes your learning journey, and brings a positive, supportive attitude to every class, I wholeheartedly recommend Alisha 紫綺.
