The lessons have been such a valuable and enjoyable experience for me. Thank you for your expertise and endless patience, which made the classes both professional and approachable. As a student from China, I truly admire your teaching style, which so many of us greatly appreciate.
You have gained an excellent reputation on RedNote, where many of your former students recommend you not only for your outstanding lessons but also for your humor, kindness, and, of course, your adorable cats! Your classes are not only inspiring but have also helped me grow personally. Although I started out feeling shy and unsure about expressing myself, I’ve noticed a significant improvement in my confidence, and that’s all thanks to your encouragement and support.
It has been a privilege to learn from you. Wishing you a happy New Year and sending my best wishes from China!
