Hello! I'm Elena
I’m the passionate teacher and founder of Making Sense of Chinese. When I began teaching Mandarin Chinese in 2008, I didn’t expect how proud I’d feel when my students started speaking Chinese so naturally, even if they started with no knowledge of Chinese!
This joy inspired me to concentrate on teaching Chinese. I enjoy helping students reach their goals of becoming fluent in Chinese and talking effortlessly with native speakers.
