Description
I want this book to empower you to write feedback that parents will want to read. And you’ll pick up some tidbits on Chinese culture along the way.
After covering the principles I use to write useful feedback, I show you samples of how I word feedback in specific situations. I hope that this info will help you find your own unique voice and leave feedback that is useful, realistic, and inspiring. When you deliver an AMAZING experience both in the classroom and in the feedback box, parents tend to reciprocate with rave reviews.
I also have an Expanded Edition of this book, available here!

Wow! I was hopeful that this book would help me to write feedback that was more meaningful to Chinese parents. It far exceeded expectations! Not only is it useful, but it’s funny and very well written. I was able to read the short version in one sitting — I couldn’t put it down. I am anxiously awaiting the expanded edition because I know that if the short version helped me this much, I can only imagine what more detail will do! Also, happy to support such a great person! Ed is wonderful. If you teach ESL online, this book is a must have!

This book has not only changed the way that I write feedback to my clients, but it has also changed the way I teach. I have definitely become more strategic and organized in my approach to teaching. More and more I am focused on the “why” of my methods and activities in the classroom! Thank you a million times over Ed! I am looking forward to your next book!

Since using Ed’s book, I have received more feedback than ever before! His book really helped me understand what parents might be looking for. I believe that Ed’s book has helped increase my bookings and gain regular students. I think this is directly due to me providing better feedback. Thank you, Ed!

I love Ed’s book! He meticulously seeks perfection (or at least the child’s highest potential) while being unbelievably personal, supportive, and encouraging in his feedback to parents. His book not only helped me to understand and identify common mistakes our Chinese students make, but also helped me to be a better teacher! Now, I can explain WHY I spend the time I do on correcting these issues. At the same time, I am now very encouraging to parents and students, explaining WHY these things matter, while inspiring them to do their best. I love knowing the importance of taking the pressure off parents in helping their student “practice” such and such, and can see how this can be self-defeating! There are too many golden nuggets to count. Ed’s background is perfect, having spent years in China to understand the culture. I learned A LOT and highly recommend this book to all teachers.

I am so thankful for Ed’s book It’s like a lightbulb went off while I read it. It transformed my feedback and my student’s parents noticed! Detailed, personal, helpful feedback matters! Ed presents tips, suggestions and examples with great insight into Chinese culture! Thanks! 5 apples for Ed!

Ed’s book is amazing. It helped me to understand some of the common errors students make coming from Mandarin to English and how to comment on them in feedback. Thank you Ed!

Definitely 5 stars for the book! There is a lot of very good information in here regarding Chinese cultural expectations as well as information about how to give meaningful and culturally sensitive feedback to parents.

You need this book! As an educator for over 30 years, I know how important clear communication to parents is, but I didn’t know exactly how to write that to my Chinese speaking parents. This book opened my eyes on the right ways to communicate And what words to use to make my meaning translate clearly. This book has changed my feedback, and it has changed my the VIPkid life for the better. Writing my feedback in this way doubled my parent 5 apple feedback virtually overnight! This is the best ten dollars you could ever spend– It would be cheap at twice the price! I cannot wait for the expanded material to be published.

I appreciate this book for giving me insight on Chinese culture, understanding what my students’ parents would like to know in feedback, and tips on how to address successes and concerns in feedback so that my words will be best understood. Thanks, Ed!
