• Westminster School
• Alicia Holland: "It was a pleasure to have Siyuan in my lessons. She was punctual and organised, and very helpful in lessons. Siyuan moved around the classroom, checking in with groups and offering support to students where necessary. She also planned a well-being task and team-taught it to a group of year 7 students."
• Tension Woods College
• Justine Forrest: "She had attended all year 10 maths lessons with me and has completed a mini-lesson with a small group of students. She said she was really happy with how it went, she created her own resources and used a variety of methods (writing on the board, using the screen, worksheets). The students in the group were excellent and she conversed really well with them throughout the whole lesson. She asked them all specific targeted questions and helped them work through all the content. They were able to work through more than we both expected because it was going to well."
• Sophie Xing: "Parker has attended Year 7 and 8 Chinese lessons with me and has taught a lesson with Year 7 students on Friday. As her first-time teaching Chinese, Parker did a good job. She and the students both actively engaged in the lesson, through a range of activities that she designed. Throughout the lesson, Parker was patient and consistent with instructions. She could also remember most students’ names and ask targeted questions to check their learning. The students achieved the planned learning objectives at the end of the lesson."
• Qingdao Guokai QCE middle school
• Joshua Zhang: "Parker has been very helpful in my daily teaching and she contributed significantly to students' learning over the past two weeks. She particularly helped students with low math ability and I can see that students have made obvious progress with Parker's help. In addition, Parker was very patient and caring to the students. She helped with and students showed high respect for her and enjoyed learning with her. She has been very attentive in observing all the lessons I taught and she provided quite a lot of professional support for me, involving paper grading and small group teaching. I am very thankful for all the help Parker provided over the past two weeks and I think she did a great job achieving the goals of this internship too.
