Amazing teacher!

Ms. Coral is the math teacher for our two elementary school children, and we are incredibly grateful for her. She is an experienced math teacher who is patient, caring, and flexible, and she truly cares about our kids’ overall growth. She consistently evaluates their learning levels and keeps challenging them appropriately to help them continue learning and growing. She also knows how to spark their interest in math problems, making lessons engaging and motivating. In addition, she provides us with constant feedback on their progress and interests, which we really appreciate as parents. She is amazing, and we highly recommend her.

The mahjong class was fantastic—Kit made learning the tiles and strategies so approachable and fun that I'm already hooked on the game and can't wait to play more!

First Grader Now Loves Math

Our daughter was uninterested in math and struggling with some concepts. She was resistant to any help from us. After 8 sessions with Dr. Kit, we have seen an amazing transformation. Our daughter is truly enjoying math and has progressed tremendously with critical thinking and problem solving skills. We are so grateful to Dr. Kit!

Cantonese class with Dr. Kit

Our 7 year old son has been a student of Dr. Kit for about a year. He attends her Cantonese classes with his friends on a weekly basis. Dr. Kit comes highly recommended by our friend. She is kind, patient and engaging. Through readings, maths, storytelling, songs and games; our son has shown amazing progress! He is no longer shy to speak the language, and was even able to do a short presentation at the end of the year. Dr. Kit also organizes fun traditional festival celebrations, gatherings and outings where kids put their learnings in practical use. It is wonderful for us to meet other parents and students too. Thank you Dr. Kit! We are so lucky to have you as our Cantonese teacher!

Highly recommend Coral Lohsi!

We've really appreciated Coral Lohsi as my kids' Cantonese math teacher. My 3rd grader likes that the math is more challenging than the math he does in school, that she integrates characters that he likes into the word problems, and that she is very nice and patient. My 5th grader likes that she is a gentle teacher and helps him work through problems that he doesn't understand.

Cantonese class

My now 6 year old daughter has been a student of Dr. Kit for two years and we’ve had an excellent experience. The class is focused on Cantonese language with math lessons seamlessly weaved in. Dr. Kit makes challenging content approachable and keeps the students engaged. My daughter especially enjoys the educational songs and games. Dr. Kit also provides insightful feedback and truly cares about her students and their progress. I highly recommend Camathories.

A mother of two young children in New York

My 4-year-old son has played your game Goldilocks. He likes it very much! I think it is a very good learning game. You can listen to the story while playing math games. It is really fun, and it helps children to "associate" math with the games and their daily lives.

Math Tutoring - positive

Ms. Coral has been working with my eight grade daughter for the past 3 months on improving her math skills and her understanding of fundamental concepts. She is very patient and is good at explaining things in a way that makes it easy for the student to understand. She is genuinely concerned about her student’s progress and makes it a point to check in after tests.

Very patient and organized teacher

My 7-year-old son has been taking Cantonese lessons with Dr. Kit/Camathories for several months. She is extremely patient and kind and does a great job of encouraging my son to speak more. She is also very organized and makes sure each lesson builds upon the previous one. She will tailor the classes to your wishes (we wanted more Cantonese than math and that’s what we are getting). Thank you Dr. Kit!

Passionate Cantonese teacher

Dr. Kit is very knowledgeable in Hong Kong's children's games and she has a lot of patience in teaching my son Cantonese. I can see the improvement in my son's vocabulary and the willingness for him to read Chinese from her class. I can not ask for a better teacher and if I can choose, I want her to teach my son Cantonese and math throughout his entire education.

Knowing and loving the familiar fairy tales already, my granddaughter (turning 4) enjoys being able to interact in a way that moves the stories along, and I appreciate that she is honing her counting and analytical skills while doing so.
