What Our Customers Say*

Alice

Working professional

Palo Alto, CA

I was looking for Mandarin classes mear me. When I found KellynKai, I really felt very lucky that this kind of company exists. It really differentiated from the other online platforms and tutoring companies that I have tried in both New York and California, and the founder Crystal herself is one of a kind. It really makes my learning experience as enjoyable and meaningful as it is. A language is more than just a technical ability, it's the way that you communicate with your loved ones; it's the way that you shape your identity. It's such a sensitive and meaningful part of who you are. If you're serious about it, it'll be hard-pressed to find something better than KellynKai. It will certainly make a difference in your learning journey the same way it has made in mine.

KellynKai helped me to get an intuitive sense of the language and pronounce the tones and sounds more accurately, which were challenging before studying with KellynKai. I got from a very basic level to be able to actually use the language in conversations. I love the interactive style, which is smart, helpful and fun.

It has REMARKABLE results! KellynKai has helped my son's High School Chinese class grade go from his worst, to a solid A in just a few months. My son now says Chinese is his easiest class, when he used to hate it. This school year is his toughest academically so it's a relief to know that KellynKai gives him the extra help that he can't get easily at school. Awesome that he can do it from home too. It's been easy to communicate with the tutors as their English is very good.

My son is doing GREAT! He has an A right now! But what is more important, is that he's gained much more confidence learning and understanding Mandarin. He's eager to learn and not wanting to give up… We appreciate the support so much! Thank you!!!

Last summer, my daughter started her Chinese lessons with KellynKai to prepare for her High School language class. The curriculum is very interesting and engaging for my daughter. I highly recommend KellynKai since I am very happy with my daughter's progress.
