Parents and Students Love Us
Bilin classes are a refreshing departure from the dull ways in which new vocabulary is too often introduced in Mandarin Language Arts classes.
Angela C., North Tustin, CA
Hang Li is an excellent teacher who works well with children. She’s attentive to her students’ progress and does a good job of explaining the subject matter as well as answering any questions. She’s descriptive with her lessons, which is great for listening and comprehension, and her communication style is encouraging for students. The teacher makes a huge impact in how well children engage in class, and my children have always enjoyed classes taught by her.
Jenny Y., Oak Park, IL
I like the drawing class because we get to draw the poems and what we think they mean. I think the drawings are hard which makes it fun. I knew some of the poems before and the drawing class helped me understand what the poems mean. I think the teacher is nice. She’s nice because she stops and asks if we are keeping up and she never gets angry.
Arielle, 7
Steven is a great teacher. He knows a lot about art, teaching us about cross-hatching, edging with light, and starting with shapes, just to name to few. But he knows much more- unbound by the squeezing knowledge of art...This (Steven's) class is much different from your regular art class. It's casual, freestyle, you learn about art-of course-but you. last learn about other stuff, too.
Andrew, Seattle, WA
Bilin Academy’s curriculum design for very young children really targets them well. It’s active and easy to understand, and the teachers are very patient and ‘well-versed in the language of children.’ Our 4-year-old child went to Go class and drawing class, and their interest has soared over the past few months; the benefits have been pretty amazing.
Jia, Chicago, IL
We have participated in many of Bilin Academy’s online courses, including English writing class, poetry drawing, chess, etc. The courses are really good, all the teachers are high-level teachers and take responsibility, commenting and explaining in detail to each student. The children really like the courses.
Feng, P. ,El Paso, NM
The Bilin Academy class offerings are so diverse and unique, that I haven’t found any in-person classes on even remotely similar topics. I appreciate that the classes are appealing in topic, and slanted towards ways to learn more about Chinese culture.
