Like always, I appreciate the corrections to my speaking, Also, practicing Shi....de structures. You haven't corrected my pronunciation in a while. Don't hesitate to correct me if I'm pronouncing something wrong.

Dee is a great teacher and is always supportive in the process of learning a new language. He makes a point to speak in Chinese at an appropriate level whenever possible, which I find very helpful!

I resumed my lessons with Dee after 8 years without lessons. I thought we wouldn’t be able to talk for more than 20 min, but Dee managed to push me through the entire hour using only a few words in English! He adapted his vocabulary and pace so I could follow, and asked me the right questions. He was as usual friendly and funny, and would write on the screen the words I would have difficulty with. Looking forward to the next class!
