I worked as a Chinese teacher in a Chinese school, I taught speaking and listening, then I gradually realized that I still needed more things in teaching, so I went back to university to study for a master's degree now. 2.

Cherry 老师 is the best!! I started lessons with her three years ago and we're still going strong <3 So warm, thoughtful, understanding, supportive, and creative! She easily matches my level of understanding and corrects me in such an open and kind way that I am never afraid to just speak regardless of the mistakes I will make. With good prompts, topics specialised to my interest and situation, it was easy to speak and she would supply vocabulary and structures to help me tell my story. Learning always feels almost effortless with Cherry 老师. 老师, 你真的很好! ❤️

车厘子会清楚地解释很难的词语和语法。比如:我应该说哪个confused的词,怎么用。她会给你写你的笔记,所以可以复习你刚才学什么。我开始上她的课,虽然我感觉很紧张说中文,但是她让我放松,所以可以练习我的口语与听力。我建议你上她的课。Cherry can clearly explain hard words and grammar. For example, which “confused” should I use. She will write some notes for you so you can revise what you have just learnt. When I started attending her class I was nervous to speak Chinese, however she allowed me to relax and practice my speaking and listening. I recommend you to attend her class.

I enjoy my classes with Cherry. She is very energetic and creative. We discuss current issues and during the class, when grammar isssues come up she can explain them to me very clearly. I always look forward to my class!

It was an amazing first session! I felt really comfortable talking with Cherry. She helped me correct my tones and express some ideas that I wasn't sure how to say. I really enjoyed the lesson and am looking forward to the next one!
