I have known Pei-Ying Pan for 6 years both as a trainee student teacher and as a piano teacher at Christchurch Girls’ High School. She has taught piano for 4 years and a term and in that time been very dedicated and well-prepared. Pei-Ying was teaching students up to 9 hours per week. Pei-Ying is a very cheerful and helpful teacher. Consistently polite and positive, students have been grateful for her encouraging manner and her thorough preparedness for lessons. Pei-Ying is a caring and empathetic person. She has often organised extra lessons and been prepared to push students to achieve to their potential. I have been very impressed with the manner in which she has related to students and the wide range of skills that she has used to assist their development. Pei-Ying is very self-motivated and independent. Pei-Ying has worked particularly hard with NCEA students. She has great success with students, improving their technique and confidence and helping them to gain very good results in the performance standards that they entered. Pei-Ying is a person of great integrity. She is an encouraging and cheerful guide who expects high standards and gains impressive results from her students. She has made a large contribution to music at Christchurch Girls’ High School and I have no hesitation in recommending her. Michael Langdon H.O.D Music Yr 12 Dean Christchurch Girls' High School
