I'm Jay! I'm currently going to college at the University of Texas at Austin. I am majoring in fine arts and I am also in the pre-medical program.

She also teaches across three levels of Mandarin Chinese, so she can quickly diagnose whether a student's weak spots are tonal, grammatical, or rooted in limited exposure to formal written conventions. Rated 4.7 by students.

Wei's PhD research in language acquisition at UGA directly informs how she teaches the AP Chinese exam's trickiest section: presentational writing, where students must produce organized, culturally grounded Mandarin that reads as more than translated English.

Rated 5.0 by students.
