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.
