Carlos M. says, "I remember in Yinxuan’s class. We would always start it by laughing with each other and sharing life experiences. Then we would get into doing math problems like algebra and geometry. Then we would play fun math games using the math we learned. After that, I would often see her outside the classroom and talk on and on with her. When Mandarin class came, it was a whole another level of fun. She would often joke around with us about how the symbols can look like certain things. Like for meat, she said that it looks like sausages strung up. However, it wasn’t just about learning the language, she also taught us about the culture in China. For example, she had us create a power point on a city in China. Mine was Beijing. I now know what the specialty dish is over there and what landmarks are in Beijing. Other people did places like Hong Kong and Shanghai. Along the way she would comment on the dish’s or the landmarks and there back story. Another thing that I will never forget is singing a Chinese New Year song. It was embarrassing at first but now I have something to look back to and go. That was fun, I don’t know why I was so embarrassed. I had so much fun in math and Mandarin class. I hope you give Yinxuan Gu a chance cause she is such a fun teacher both when she’s teaching and when she is outside of class"See more
