👑 Experienced, patient and passionate
I work in a high school for about 10 years. I like to interact with my students. I really love teaching. I meet many students from different cultures. It’s really a pleasure.
My oldest student is over 60. I’m really touched by his spirit of learning.
I bring a relaxing and humorous approach to my classes, creating an atmosphere where students can truly enjoy their learning experience. In classes, I often use videos I collect from tv dramas or movies when I teach grammar or language points, so my students can be exposed to many real life contexts. My lessons & teaching style

I started learning Mandarin for an upcoming trip to China, and Summer has been very supportive, clear, and patient. She made a very difficult language feel logical and approachable. A very nice introduction to Mandarin.

Top teacher. Really recommended! Just completed sixth lesson with summer. The lessons are always great, we use the HSK book but she provides so much useful extra words and phrases that really help me be able to speak much better than just the book ever would. She has me reading out loud or answering questions a lot and gives good feedback. Even when my energy is really low her lessons are always so much fun that I feel better afterwards.

I have just completed three great years of mandarin lessons with Summer. She helped me prepare for several trips to China where I was able to practice what she taught me. I plan to continue my lessons next year!
