My experience with Standard Mandarin (Yingshuang) has been great. My guess is that she is excellent for all levels of learners. In my particular case, I had been doing Duolingo for two years, which was going well, but working with Yingshuang has really elevated substantially my understanding of what I had been learning. I feel like I am now building a very solid platform on which to achieve real Mandarin competency and, eventually, fluency. She also is just a very nice person. I highly recommend Yingshuang/Standard Mandarin.

After looking everywhere for a new teacher I am so happy I found Ying Shuang! She is thorough and makes sure you understand the grammar and pronunciation before moving on to the next chapter. If you are looking for someone to help you reach your HSK/mandarin goals I highly recommend Ying Shuang.

Yingshuang is an amazing teacher. I've wanted to learn Mandarin for years, but was always afraid of its difficulty. I could never have anticipated just what a joyful, fun, exciting experience it is to learn with Yingshuang. She is thorough, enthusiastic, attentive, and patient . She excels at working at just the right pace for me. I am astonished at where we've gotten in just a couple months. Yinghsuang's commitment, joy, and love for teaching are palpable, and it is a delight and a privilege to be her student.

My Mandarin classes have been extremely productive. Standard Mandarin offers a customized, disciplined, and fun way to learn Mandarin.My teacher, Yinshuang has helped me with speaking, listening, reading, and writing without cutting any corners.
I get homework each week along with additional resources to read and practice listening. In addition to the phenomenal teaching and practical homework, Yinshuang also arranges for groups of students at the same level to share homework and at a certain level, to do projects together. This gives me additional opportunity to practice.
Yinshuang also emphasizes the differences between Western an Chinese culture while teaching. This helps me not only understand the language at a deeper level but also provides mnemonic footholds that help me retain new vocabulary and characters more easily.
I think the value of these lessons is phenomenal and HIGHLY recommend Standard Mandarin to both new and experienced students.
