La professeur était très gentille, elle avait bien préparé notre cours pour réviser le vocabulaire HSK5. Elle m'a donné des ressources pour réviser après le cours aussi.

在与老师相处的过程中，我深深感受到她对学生的用心。她会很专业、很耐心地倾听我的问题与想法，并以温和、循序渐进的方式引导我探索深层需求，而不仅停留在表面上的解答。
她的教学不仅聚焦于中文语言学习本身，更注重中华文化背景的融入，让我从中国人的角度思考问题，理解中国人。作为高阶中文学习者，我在遇到学习瓶颈时遇到老师，她能迅速捕捉海外华裔的我真正的困惑并针对性地提供灵活有效的建议，是我的荣幸。她以文化与人文为基础，帮助我在学习中找到更多与自我成长相结合的切入点，让我在语言与个人发展之间建立起更扎实的联结。
谢谢老师！

Li lao shi is an excellent tutor, she is very communicative and explains things very well. If you aren't understanding a concept she will explain it in different ways and gives tons of examples. The more you work with her the more she understands you and your learning style. She is super kind and is always giving feedback. 10/10 would recommend!
