I am from Taiyuan, Shanxi Province, China. A city with rich history, traditions and heritage. I am a native Chinese Speaker, and I have studied in the United States and Australia.
I love language and culture, both Eastern and Western. I am particular interested in ancient Chinese philosophies such as Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism, and their comparison to other philosophical traditions and spiritual practices in the world. So if you are also interested in this topic, I am more than happy to talk with you. Learn mandarin with me and have some the fascinating intercultural communication.

Ich als Lehrkraft
When I studied in the women's liberal arts college in the US, I have some experiences tutoring Chinese to my fellow international students from Europe, and they love their handwritten Chinese names gifted by me. Chinese language has helped me made wonderful friends abroad. Join my class and learn not only the language, but authentic Chinese culture.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
At the moment, only one course is available which is related to my practice. I am very enthusiastic about Mahayana Buddhism/Chinese Buddhism/Zen Buddhism, and aspire to be a true Boddhisattva. If you are interested in this, don't hesitate to book a lesson with me. You don't need to become a monk or nun. Live a mundane life and love and compassion is the answer.
Penny and I have been doing classes for a while, but only now have started working on a syllabus. I tend to get distracted and lose focus easily, and Penny is gently able to bring back the focus to the task at hand. I like her approach to teaching HSK and I like that she is friendly but also firm in her teaching. 10/10 would recommend!

Penny is patient and prepared. She speaks very clearly, both Chinese (Mandarin) and English. This is so helpful for conversation practice. The environment is quiet. She is willing to tailor lessons to my specific learning needs.

Great lesson! I learned a lot about Chinese history and philosophy! Penny taught me some new vocabulary so we can discuss these subjects. She is very attentive to what I need and proposes me activities that can help me to progress in Chinese.
