Depeng

I want to thank Depeng Laoshi here for all his efforts to help me progress in Chinese. His explanations are always very clear (he is a trained teacher of Chinese as a foreign language), and I also like discussing (more and more in Chinese !) broader topics like the role of the UN in the world.

I so appreciate Depeng's individualized teaching methods, supportive demeanor, and willingness to help me with my goal - to take and pass the HSK 1 exam at 61 years old! Although I am only able to speak simply in Mandarin Chinese, before and after lessons, Depeng's expert knowledge of English allows us to discuss international relations and nuanced subject matter at an academic level. I appreciate his good humor and patience when my cats jump onto my desk - and right into our lessons! I have been working with Depeng several times per week for a month and have just booked my next month of lessons. I look forward to each session (5:00 AM!) knowing I will learn in the context of Depeng's expertise, warmth, and humanity.

This was my first class back with Depeng after two or so years and it was like seeing an old friend again! We jumped straight back into where we left off and it is so good to be learning again! Thank you, Depeng - see you in the next one!

A great teacher and great classes. Thanks for all the time and effort you put into our classes, its always appreciated.

It has been very interesting discussing international relations in Chinese with Depeng. He has a rich expertise about the topic, and has many interesting thoughts and perspectives about the topic. Additionally, he has taught me many new international relations related Chinese vocabulary, which has improved my ability to discuss this most fascinating of topics in Chinese. Would strongly recommend him to other prospective students.

Depeng is an excellent teacher, very patient and he always gives clear explanations, I really enjoy studying with him
