淑玉 is an excellent teacher. we had a great free-flowing conversation about a variety of interesting topics, and she patiently stopped to write down and explain parts I didn't understand, like various 成语 and other slang. She has a great temperament for teaching and is very pleasant to practice conversation skills with. Highly recommend!

Very good teacher. Not only do we go through textbook words, but also words/phrases/slangs used in daily modern conversation. Over the past two months my mandarin skill improved dramatically. Highly Recommend.

Professor Yu is an exceptionally attentive and patient teacher. She carefully identifies the specific areas where each student can improve, offering precise feedback and encouragement that lead to real progress and greater fluency. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a truly outstanding, dedicated, and inspiring language instructor.
