A teacher with their own program. We started learning from scratch. The student is engaged.
Willis
What I like about the lessons: the clearly developed AUTHOR'S methodology, structured by lessons. Noa is demanding, but that's exactly the kind of teacher I was looking for. We've made significant progress!
Audrey Hernandez
An excellent teacher! Everything is perfect.
Cheyenne
We've been studying with Karhu for just over a year, during which time we prepared for and successfully passed HSK3. Before starting lessons with Karhu, I had already made three attempts to learn Chinese, all of which, unfortunately, were unsuccessful. From the very first lesson, I appreciated the systematic approach, with a structured lesson plan and plenty of materials. If problems or questions arose, Karhu would patiently explain everything as many times as needed.
Huub Bazza
Karhu is a poor specialist with an unclear teaching system.

We are still on the path to results. The price matches the quality.
I work twice a week, and I am very satisfied. It's worth noting that this is my third tutor, but I’m absolutely thrilled with Noa Karhu and look forward to each session.

Noa's explanations of the material weren't as clear as I had hoped, especially considering how challenging the language is.

We are absolutely thrilled with the lessons with Noa! There is a huge difference compared to previous tutors. I enjoy the lessons; the material is presented in an engaging way, and I remember a lot from the lesson, so there's almost no need for additional studying.
