I was an associate professor who taught college physics at a university for eight years in China before I came to the United States. I had done research related to Physics at Clemson University and University of Florida for eight years. I found my passion to be a teacher or tutor again after I moved to Boston in 2011.
I have a teacher certificate as a physics teacher for teaching at the University in China. I used to lecture over 100 students a time. I taught calculus-based college physics ...

Our kids studied Mandarin while we lived overseas where the focus was heavily on vocabulary, speaking and listening comprehension. After moving back to the US we found the programs here were more focused on writing & reading, and much less on speaking & listening comprehension. We hired Ping for series of lessons over the summer to keep up their speaking proficiency. She was exactly what we were seeking: a native Mandarin speaker, with many years of tutoring experience who was able to travel to our home for lessons. She mixed in vocabulary lessons from a workbook with listening to recording of stories and carrying on "everyday" conversations about what was going on with them over the summer. And she had a nice rapport with our kids (who as teens are hard to get to talk to us about much of anything). We actually contacted a number of tutors on Wyzant and other services during our search. Most were not native speakers, had little experience or had travel restrictions (aka students in the Boston area looking to make some extra money over the summer). Ping was one of few who could offer all we were looking for, and she did a fantastic job. Thank you, Ping!

Ping is helping my HS son with his second year of Mandarin. She is patient and yet persistent in terms of helping him with pronunciation as well as recall. We highly recommend her.

Ping came fully prepared. Our kids are 6 and 8 respectively. Very structured. Cannot wait for the next class which will happen the following Sunday. The experience Ping brings to the table is very evident.

I have been having Ping as my tutor for almost 3 months, she has been extremely helpful to me. Physics is one of my weak subjects and especially in senior year I needed a good grade before I graduate. She's really patient, easy to understand. She has helped me on difficult HWs, helped me prepare quizzes an and tests. Honestly I feel really lucky to find Ping as my tutor for physics, she taught me not just deep understanding in physics, but gave me confidence in this subject.

Ping has helped our daughter excel in her Chinese studies so that it is now her favorite subject. It always takes us a while to find a tutor our daughter works will with and Ping fits the bill perfectly. Ping is very skillful in having the student figure out the problem by their self while not allowing the student to become frustrated. She is also very easy to reach and very flexible with scheduling sessions.

Ping is a responsible and very patient tutor who has been working with our child and has the ability to break down complicated math issues where they are able to be understood and applied. She is punctual and has been willing to devote extra time when needed.
- Craig B. from Winchester, MA
Ping was very kind, patient, and got right down to it with my daughter, but she was difficult to understand therefore my daughter didn't have a satisfactory lesson despite spending 1-1/2 hours reviewing algebra problems.
- Elaine S. from Medford, MA
Ping very patiently helped my daughter through concepts she did not understand. Ping is always very professional and is willing to work with us when we need scheduling changes.

We have had our first lesson and Ping was very good with our two daughters. She made it fun for them to learn, and was able to mix in lots of different things to keep their attention. We look forward to more lessons.

Ping was very patient with my son and willing to commit to a tutoring session with only one day advance. I believe meeting with Ping helped him perform better on his Pre-Calculus quiz the next day.
- Stacey G. from Winchester, MA
Ping broke down word problems and incorporated Physics equations into them making it easier to understand the applications! I will most likely return for more help later in my semester.
- Tracey L. from Woburn, MA
My daughter's AP physics class is very demanding and very fast paced. Ping was great at working with her to help her keep up and to understand the material. She really enjoyed working with Ping and has chosen her to be her permanent tutor for the whole year!

Ping is a patient,competent and knowledgeable tutor, my daughter thought the class to be very helpful and she enjoyed it very much. Thank you Ping!
