 What do students say about Peggy's Tutorial Service? 

Here are some quotations from Peggy's current and former students:

 "Peggy really makes learning Chinese fun and engaging.  She meets students at their level and pushes them to improve.  She is incredibly patient and understanding of her students' concerns.  She also has a great personality and a sense of humor!  As a former teacher myself, I highly recommend her to anyone who wishes to improve their speaking ability in Chinese."

-Jason Downs, New York USA


"Peggy has a great understanding of English and Chinese grammar. Plus she is hilarious, has a sense of the Chinese language level you are at and how to get you to the next level."

Jed Bonniwell, Minnesota USA


"Peggy is a natural teacher, who is extremely well-organized. She finds creative ways to incorporate my professional interests and make them relevant within the context of the lesson. And she emphasizes the tonal aspect of the language, after which grammar seems to fall into place. All thoughtful approaches from a sincere and helpful teacher."

-Luke Wohlers, Seattle USA

 

"Chinese is my 7th language. For me the issue about learning Chinese has always been to become fond of it and the culture it represents through personal experience with people. In that sense, I found Peggy to be very motivating - always cheerful and energetic, a girl like her can awaken your zest for study. Aside from the fun, she's still methodical and attentive and you feel she likes what she does. I'm taking classes every week with great pleasure and results.

Il cinese è la mia settima lingua. All'idea di studiare cinese, ho sempre avuto il problema di farmi piacere la lingua e la cultura che essa rappresenta attraverso incontri con persone madrelingua. In questo senso, Peggy mi è davvero di gran motivazione: gioiosa e piena
di energie com'è, aggiunge gusto allo studio. Oltre ad essere divertente, è pure metodica e attenta nell'insegnamento e si sente che le piace quello che fa. Faccio lezione ogni settimana con piacere e risultati." 

- Stefano Lodola, Carrara Italy

 

"As the father of a 13-year-old learner, I am aware that the strong surge of interest in Mandarin Chinese over the last couple of decades has resulted in many poorly trained teachers, or even mere native speakers, entering the market. It was a nice surprise to see that Peggy is a truly professional teacher, with strong experience and comprehensive training, thus able to help her students progress as fast as possible.

Peggy feels at ease teaching on Skype, and is a master of using modern technology to help her students learn, as clear from her many excellent videos.

Watching Peggy's videos is a great way for parents to share some "Mandarin moments" with their children.  Even those not studying the language will enjoy them, while at the same time contributing to their little ones' motivation to learn.

Peggy comes without the ideological baggage of many Mainland Chinese teachers, and is thus better prepared to introduce your children both to classical Chinese culture and to the present-day realities of modern democratic Taiwan. At a time when a new security architecture is emerging in Asia, this may greatly aid them in understanding regional dynamics. 

Although I would equally recommend her to any adult learner, Peggy's character, training, and experience, make her uniquely qualified to cater to your children's needs. They will not only learn Mandarin but have great fun, and will actually not see her lessons as something they have to do but as something they truly enjoy and look forward to." 

- Alex Calvo, Global Economics and International Relations professor, and head of the International Relations Department, European University (Barcelona Campus)

 

"Peggy is very polite, very patient and most important, she can express herself and we laught a lot. Every lesson, we talk about what happened to us that weekend, so that's very interesting and I learn a lot. I often watch her videos on Youtube, they are very clear and sometimes funny, but at the same time, you learn Chinese vocabulary. I have studied with Peggy for one year, and I'm proud of learning from her, I think I've chosen correctly."

 - Oriol Calvo, Barcelona, Catalonia

 

"I tried in past to study Chinese with programs or with private lessons in Italy, but all was so boring!!! Then I found on internet Peggy and all changed!! She is professional, pleasant, always smiling, and she is very good as a teacher also to correct your english that she perfectely knows. Lessons with Peggy are really nice and easy to make, and I am beginning to think is Chinese before I think in Italian, this is really good! I suggest to all to have lessons with Peggy, just leave her the time to continue to give lessons to me!!!"

- Stefano Ferragamo, Firenze Italy

 

"I have been studying Chinese with Peggy for approximately one year now. Peggy is an excellent teacher, able to explain complicated Chinese grammar in simple, concise terms. Peggy is a patient, comprehensive and dynamic  teacher. She has an energy and passion for teaching that I have ever seen in 57 years. Anybody who is able to study with Peggy should feel very lucky and grateful to have her as a teacher. She is the BEST."

- Dennis Harrington, California USA

- Song Chao, Maryland USA

"Peggy is not only a master linguist (she definitely knows what she is talking about), but she also has the capability to explain difficult matters in very simple terms. And of course, her magnetic personality is absolutely contagious. Her educational videos are witty, clever, funny and educational.”

- Alex Aitougan, California USA
