What The Students Say

Dear 杜老师,

My first year in high school, I thought it was going to be boring, and that I wouldn’t be looking forward to each class or any class. But when I first entered your classroom for the first time, it felt safe and comforting, and each time I go there I’m excited to learn more about Chinese, and what they do, eat…
