13 years full-time teaching Chinese language to 1000+ students from more than 35 countries, including kids, housewives, executive managers, diplomats and artists

I met Weiwei through a mutual interest in dancing salsa. We met in Shanghai at a time when I was living in Hangzhou. When I learned she was a professional teacher of Mandarin with more than ten years of experience teaching, I asked her to help me. We worked online because of our different locations. I found her to be very engaging as a teacher – lively, energetic, quick to respond to my questions or difficulties. I saw she could work either to a structured curriculum, such as the HSK series of books, or as in my case open-ended conversations that mirrored everyday use of Chinese. She had an easy-to-follow system as well for indicating the pronunciation of new words based on her own adaptation of pinyin to indicate the tones. She would do this in “real time” as our conversation online proceeded, so that at the end I had a full list of new words in characters, pinyin, and with the English translation(s). This shows that she is adaptable to the needs of each individual student, an ability I found that other teachers often lacked. I recommend her highly, whether in person or for online instruction.

I've been taking Chinese lessons with Wei Wei for over a year now. She encourages me to speak and I have improved a lot. She makes me feel comfortable and I really like her lessons. A great teacher!
