Master-Level Cooking Mentor from a Family of Professional Chefs – Inspiring Lessons in Chinese and World Cuisine

Great cooking skill! Combined knowledge and creativity! We always enjoy and finish all the food!

I've known Weihong for seven years since high school, and he's genuinely one of the most knowledgeable people I know when it comes to Chinese language and culture.

What makes Weihong special is his depth of knowledge and his infectious energy. Not only is he fluent, but he goes further, studying classical Chinese, philosophy, and cultural history. He introduced me to Liu Cixin's Three Body Problem and would point out things like how the characters' Chinese names carry symbolic meaning - I still remember 心 (heart) because of how he explained Cheng Xin's name. These little connections he makes are what make things actually stick in your memory. We'd stay up late discussing Chinese literature and philosophy, his passion and curiosity fueling the discussion.

His teaching style is all about understanding the "why" behind things. Even when we're cooking traditional recipes together, he'll explain the chemistry and theory - it goes over my head, but that's exactly his teaching style: he finds creative ways to explain complex things until they click. I've seen him tutoring others in math, and he has this gift for making sure people truly grasp concepts, not just memorize them - the same approach he takes when explaining Chinese culture to me.

As a friend, he's always the guy trying to get you out and about; he got me out of my shell during lockdown and got me to attend a Chinese youth group where, despite not knowing the language, I made friends and had lots of laughs. Even though I was a complete beginner, he found ways to help me participate and understand what was happening. Whatever setbacks come his way, he just keeps going with relentless optimism.

His knowledge and passion are what inspired me to start learning Chinese myself. He's patient, thoughtful, and makes complex cultural concepts accessible.

I recommend Weihong without hesitation. His expertise and energy will probably inspire you to dive deeper into Chinese than you ever expected.

Super nice and patient boy who knows a lot about math. His passion towards this subject makes him a great candidate to teach and help students understand all the abstract concepts in mathematics.
