What Families Say About Teacher Penny

Columbus Chinese Lessons is a new practice built on four years of district teaching — reviews from founding families are being collected now and will appear here as they come in.

Honest by design

Why there are no reviews here yet

Columbus Chinese Lessons opened its doors in 2026, and we’d rather show you an empty page than borrowed or invented praise. Every review that appears here will be from a real Columbus family, with their permission, in their own words.

Until then, here’s what you can verify today: Teacher Penny taught the Gahanna-Jefferson School District’s Chinese language program from 2021 to 2025 — more than 100 students across six elementary schools and two middle schools — directed the STEM program at New Albany’s Eagle’s Nest afterschool program, and holds an Ohio substitute teaching license (with BCI/FBI background check) plus Teacher Certification from China’s Ministry of Education. Her credentials are listed in full, under her legal name, on the About page.

Become a founding family

Families and co-ops who join in the first year get first pick of Fall 2026 schedule slots — and yes, we’ll ask you for an honest review once you’ve seen a semester of progress. That’s how this page fills up.
