If a student says you are a bang bang teacher, that means you are an excellent teacher.

Here is an example of VIPKid feedback I received:

-Anna:【孩子最喜欢的老师,老师特别尊重孩子个性,有耐心,棒棒棒!翻译结果由百度提供】Children’s favorite teacher, the teacher special respect for children’s personality, patience, bang bang!

棒 is one of those Chinese characters that have two meanings: it can mean stick/baton or it is an expression that can mean excellent!

What does it mean to be called a serious teacher in Chinese?
