I’ve come a long way from when I first started vocal lessons with Ms.Wu. As time has passed, it’s knowledgable to note that she has a passion for music which really comes through in her teaching. Ms.Wu has a love for music like no other and it inspires the same in her students. These lessons have taught me the thrill of being confident in my own voice. If I had not branched out into vocal lessons with Ms.Wu, I am sure I would not be the singer I am today.

“Simeng is a wonderful Chinese teacher. I’ve made more progress with her than with any previous teacher. We started off with the specific goals of improving my pronunciation and listening comprehension. She is a classically trained singer, and that makes a huge difference when studying language sounds. Not only does she have personal experience producing all the vocalizations of both English and Chinese but she can explain the similarities and differences in great detail so we were able to cover the entire set of Chinese phonemes in just a few weeks. Simeng has many years of broad, general education in both the US and China. This is an often overlooked quality in language instructors but the only way to be sure that your instructor is teaching you the correct translation is if they are confident in their ability to express a given thought in both languages. Furthermore, she is able to provide cultural context around language usage so that I can better understand native speaker’s intent. We recently got as far as going to a Chinese restaurant for live practice. It went very well for a first time and I look forward to the next one!”

“I decided to learn Mandarin to prepare for a trip to China and to help with communicating with foreign customers at work. Simeng is friendly, caring, and very patient with beginners. That said, she is very thorough in her teaching and takes the time to ensure you nail the proper tones. I highly recommend learning from Simeng!”

Simeng's musical experiences and enthusiasm come through in her Chinese teaching - strong focus in the pronunciation and vocalization will help beginner and experienced learners to bring their Chinese to the next level. She is extremely patient and energetic - her classes are always fun. I highly recommend Simeng to be your Chinese teacher.
