Penny 老師 is very organized and provides a spreadsheet of all of the things we have learned. She creates opportunities for students to practice speaking what they are learning and also appropriately helps review past items to make sure they aren't forgotten. She is also very smart, she speaks English, Japanese, and Chinese fluently. This allows her to provide perspectives that most other teachers cant.

Today we had a conversation practice! I have to pause now and then to come up with words and expression to form a sentence, but no pressure, Pei laoshi is always very patient and will help you say what you want to say or say it better in different ways!

Lessons with Penny have really improved my Chinese and I would recommend her highly to any student, especially those who have a good foundation in the language and would like to become more fluent. She is curious and patient, which means that conversations with her are genuine and I get lots of opportunity to talk. She is also super reliable and has a rich background of experience in both mainland China and Taiwan, which gives her a unique perspective.
