MikikoTutor ★★★★★ 2026-08-27 11:32:01Today's lesson was extremely thorough and really helpful for me. I feel well-prepared for the interview now. I'm sorry to say this, but I had originally booked your class for tomorrow as well. However, because today's instruction was so comprehensive, I've already practiced all the material I needed to prepare. So I'm planning to cancel tomorrow's booking and review on my own instead. Thank you so much again!

MochiTutor ★★★★★ 2026-08-23 15:27:37Today I continued my study of four-character idioms. When I first encountered the idiom "胸有成竹" (xiōng yǒu chéng zhú), I asked my teacher, "Does this mean the bamboo is piercing through...?" My teacher laughed and kindly taught me the correct meaning.

I'm looking forward to your continued guidance!
