Comment:
Her passion for helping students learn Chinese is one of the most rewarding parts of this class. She will make the effort to help you understand - but she will also expect you to make that same effort. She will definitely notice if you slack and do not complete readings. Take her class for your sake. You will learn so much in such a short time!

One of the best professors I've ever had, and just a generally really amazing human being. She makes me want to learn, and makes a big effort to hold interesting, engaging discussions. Class at times can be a little surface-y and cliche, but over all great.

Li Laoshi is seriously one of the only reasons why I've continued to take Chinese at Tufts. She's by far the best Chinese teacher in the department, and is willing to take the time to explain any concept to you. She'll challenge you and call you out if you don't prepare for class, but she's very fair and wants you to learn.

A passionate professor with a great sense of humor. She always conceptualized learning Chinese as something that should be fun and not overly demanding. She always allowed me to take a step back and gain perspective on what learning should be.

I finally got to take a course with her as some of my friends really liked her and her classes. My written chinese improved a lot in one semester, but I did have to study very hard as she expects that everyone from HK is a native speaker!

Li Laoshi is arguably one of the best professors at Tufts. She is incredibly helpful and approachable, and genuinely cares about how students are progressing in her class. She is not afraid to call you out if she thinks you can do better, which can be somewhat embarrassing, but ultimately very motivating. If you take Chinese, take with Prof Li.

Very friendly. Will explain as much as is needed for students to understand. She definitely has favorites, but its really easy for non asians to get on her good side. Show improvement (REALLY bad homework at first and put in some effort to improve) and she will love you forever. Amazing woman, I want to be her friend

One of the best professors I've had in my college career. She not only cares a lot about her students, always willing to help if you're having trouble, but she's a great lecturer. Awesome!

Very helpful, enthusiastic, infectious love for Chinese. One of the few chinese profs who can actually explain meanings of words in depth using history and philosophy. Overall excellent, will definitely take her class again.
