Excellent teacher for advanced learners, good learning platform
I've studied Mandarin in graduate programs at well-known universities in North America and Asia for years, and I can easily say that my private course at "That's Mandarin" has been my most enjoyable learning experience by far. My teacher is a fine educator - in other words, she knows how people learn. Her style is encouraging and fun, while she continues to challenge me to take on and remember increasingly difficult material. The online platform for lessons works well and makes for more efficient learning. The material is waiting on the lesson page when I log in and the teacher types in additional notes during the lesson, so I can easily review what I've learned, with or without pinyin and definitions. As an advanced student in the HSK 5 range, I really enjoy the customized lessons which my teacher creates in consultation with my needs and interests.
