Jerica J. Spanish teacher, 25 years, USA
If you're looking for a Chinese teacher, you can stop now - Suqing is THE BEST! I am a 2nd language teacher myself (I have been teaching Spanish for 25 years). I also speak 4 languages (learned as an adult).
With all the experience that I have studying and teaching languages for most of my adult life, I am very picky about my own language teachers. So when I say she is the best, that's coming from experience.
First of all, Suqing uses a methodology that actually works. Sadly, a lot of language teachers 'talk about' the language, but don't actually teach it. Suqing's methodology uses comprehensible input and storytelling - this works with the specific way that the human brain learns languages.
This methodology can be more challenging to teach, because the teacher has to tell interesting stories while also keeping the vocabulary really easy. This can be a bit of an art form, and Suqing has got it! She is funny, unexpected and personal in her stories, and she also includes cultural content in a lot of her stories, so you're learning about the culture as you learn the language.
Suqing gives a very personal touch as a teacher, which makes her stories more engaging. Another example of this is the personal attention, care and ongoing communication that she gives. When I messaged on WhatsApp that I was having trouble with the technology and feeling frustrated that I wasn't understanding (this happens to us all in language learning!), she actually called me right then, to walk me through my tech issues so that I could translate the Chinese characters and understand!
I really don't have high enough praise for Suqing as a Chinese teacher. You have the whole world of Chinese teachers at your fingertips through the internet... chose Suqing because she is absolutely the BEST.

Suqing (Rebecca) is truly the best and most helpful Mandarin tutor you will ever find! I went from almost no ability (except for a few phrases I picked up in childhood) to being extremely conversationally fluent and able to communicate with anyone in Mandarin. She always adapts the lesson to your level and ensures it’s both fun and challenging. Her techniques mean you’re able to speak from the first class, and there’s no boring textbooks or grammar lessons — it truly just feels like learning with a friend.
I’m so grateful to Suqing for how much she’s helped me! I can now listen to podcasts and watch all the c-dramas I want without subtitles. 谢谢你素清!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Before enlisting Suqing's help, I had struggled to make any substantial headway in my Chinese language proficiency. However, her teaching approach, which combines structured lessons with engaging conversational practice, has been transformative. She has a unique ability to tailor each session to my specific needs and learning style, making the learning experience not only effective but also enjoyable.
One of Suqing's strongest qualities is her commitment to her students' success. She goes above and beyond to provide additional resources, answer questions outside of our scheduled sessions, and create a supportive learning environment. Her patience and encouragement have played a crucial role in boosting my confidence in speaking Chinese.
I wholeheartedly recommend Suqing as a Chinese language instructor. Her expertise, dedication, and passion for teaching have made a significant impact on my language proficiency, and I am confident that she can do the same for any aspiring Chinese learner.

Suqing is a phenomenal Mandarin teacher--super engaged, flexible, participatory, and hilarious! I started lessons with her so I could talk to my partner's parents, and within a few months I was able to make basic conversation, even crack a joke occasionally. Her method of comprehensible language pedagogy really works, and it's a lot more fun than doing exercises in a textbook.

Many people have come to appreciate that comprehensible input is essential to second language acquisition. Learners, however, are often stuck in the mindset of the classroom they remember from childhood: a focus on memorization and an emphasis on performance. Even those of us who were good students can look back with dread. Suqing does an excellent job of breaking those old habits and turning each lesson into a dynamic opportunity for learning.
Suqing is, of course, kind and encouraging; but her teaching capabilities extend beyond these traits. She is very successful in getting students to actively experiment with the Chinese language and overcome the fear and anxiety that is often associated with formal teaching settings. Her CI-based approach successfully weaves repetition with new ideas and information, leading to many of those "n+1" moments that feel like genuine breakthroughs for students.
I can't recommend Suqing more highly for students who are ready to begin practicing output. Her teaching style is ideal to help students work through the practical and mental barriers in Chinese acquisition.

Teacher Suqing has been my first and only teacher. Prior to becoming her student, I regularly followed her videos on youtube. I sought to learn Chinese through the comprehensible input method, and I stumbled upon her videos, which were not only interesting but also comprised various stories in different contexts and useful real-life examples.
Her voice is soft, her pronunciation is clear, and her speaking pace is ideal neither too fast nor too slow. She incorporates numerous hand gestures while telling stories, making it possible to understand her even without looking at the translations. Her teaching methods are truly effective; within less than a year, I progressed from a beginner with zero knowledge in mandarin to achieving an HSK 2/3 level.
As a teacher, Suqing is exceptionally patient, always smiling, she motivates and encourages her students to reach their full potential. I am immensely grateful for her guidance and support. Thank you so much, Teacher Suqing! 谢谢 老师!
