After two years learning together, Leo still motivates and holds up his professional and organized style. Always on time, prepared, smiling - not a single exception over all these months. Such a great teacher!!!
I really enjoyed Leo's lesson. As an advanced learner, he tailored the content to my needs by introducing more complex vocabulary and abstract concepts. Chinese culture is often described as 慢热 (warming up slowly) and so a lot of time is spent on 'smalltalk' at the beginning. I was glad the teacher warmed up quickly and focused on more meaningful topics. Leo was extremely professional and kind, correcting mistakes and offering useful feedback.
Leo is very prepared and did a good job working through key grammar points aligned with various HSK levels to determine my fluency.
Based on one class, I could say that Leo is a well-organized and patient teacher. I am a beginner and make lots of mistakes so far, but Leo has been very supportive and encouraging. That definitely makes you feel calmer and more comfortable in trying and, thus, learning. I also love his approach to presenting new materials - if he sees you don't understand any particular topic he will immediately find another way to explain it. The class is very engaging, however, this does not mean you could relax and not be focused. In my case, I can hardly catch the sequence of characters while listening, so Leo tried to speak Mandarin most of the time (ofc, still explaining what I don't understand). This was tough but very helpful. 谢谢, Leo!
After finishing over 10 hours of 1-on-1 Chinese tutoring, I can definitely say that Yang Lao Shi is an amazing Chinese teacher. Every class is very structured; he comes well prepared with all the materials (HSK lessons and questions) for the lesson and provides opportunities in class to actively apply the grammar structures you just learned by creating stories or answering questions. Not to mention, everything we say/learn is documented on a google doc so that you can refer back to new vocabulary, which was extremely helpful as I was able to make flashcards out of all the new words I learned. I cannot recommend him enough!
Leo is very professional and patient. I strongly recommend him as a teacher to learn Chinese. Thank you Leo!
Great lesson. Definitely will continue learning Chinese with Leo. He was well prepared and I could see that he is an experienced teacher. I liked his teaching methods: engaging and interesting. Thank you.
He is so supportive and patient, my computers audio was doing crazy stuff and he was so patient. He prepared a lot of things for the lesson, and pushed me out of my comfort zone to read. I’d recommend him to anyone willing to learn Mandarin!
It's a pity that I can't give 6 stars to this teacher! Very conscientious!
As a 1990s kid who have been away from school for a few years, I couldn’t rate how good he is for day 1 that I just started to talk with him for about 30 min. It’s been almost a week already that I have completed 5 lessons with Mr. Yang . He’s such a well prepared and encouraging tutor for my HSK4 course, therefore, by providing a clear explanations,fixed an errors with my pronunciation, and came up a various topics of role play which could help me to improve my speaking skills. I do like his class a lot and appreciate. I see my improvements and look forward to further lessons.
I had really fun while I was in class with teacher Yang - organize, comprehensive, professional, everything is prepared with lots of materials. He caters my needs and I was able to learn not just one aspect but three aspects: listening, speaking, and learning vocabularies. Hoping to have more classes with you in the future. 我享受您的课。不仅系统的，而且老师为了我的课好像准备好的材料，也很专业。我们重点三个方面提高我的听力和口语，丰富生词。希望继续和您上课。
Leo is a good Chinese language teacher. I am a beginner, and he was very professional and patient with me. We practiced pinying, tones, consonants, and combinations. I have homework to practice pinying pronunciation.
Leo的课总是非常有趣！他鼓励我说尽可能多的中文。他很有耐心、也很有帮助。我很喜欢跟他上课学汉语！
A very well-planned class with plenty of materials and good tuition. It was enjoyable and I learned a lot.
Leo is a very patient and well-prepared teacher.
谢谢你！我很喜欢你的课。你每次帮我提高我的口音，语法，词汇等。期待下次再见 🙂
I know nothing about the Chinese characters! However today I learned a little bit about pinyin syllable: initial, final, tone. Leo suggested me to learn on my own through YouTube to practice. It’s not easy regarding tone. They have different meaning in words. I gotta practice it. Anyway, until next time! Thx Leo 🙏
Thanks for a great class Leo! Very happy with the HSK classes, Leo is very patient and offers timely error correction…always willing to answer questions or explain something in a few different ways until I’ve fully understood the concept. 谢谢你 Leo!
A very good teacher, I enjoyed the lesson.
Leo is an excellent teacher and he was extremely kind and patient with me. We learned the tones and he managed to teach it very well. I recommend him, especially for beginners like me.
really enjoyed the trial lesson; Leo is well prepared and pays attention to pronunciation which is so important in the tonal language like Chinese
Excellent teacher! Leo is continuously clear in communicating, and knows when to push and challenge students - giving the perfect amount of input to improve. I really feel that my Chinese is rapidly improving with every session.
Very professional and organized. Thank you very much!
Very professional, I really enjoyed the class, and I feel like my Chinese can really improve with Leo!
Great teacher and very kind! I like the homework he gives me 😀
Thank you so much for the lesson! Leo is very nice, supportive and enthusiastic. He makes the student speak as much Chinese as possible.
非常感谢跟我一起上课了。我不仅提高了中文水平，而且增加了学习的动力。下次见!
Had a great first lesson with Leo, he was supportive and challenging. I really enjoyed describing the pictures.
I took a trial lesson with Leo, and felt straight away that he is really systematic, organized, resourceful, and patience. In short, he's well prepared and knows how to teach. Glad to I found him. This is my second time taking his lesson.
特别感谢 Leo!!! ☺ I could practice a lot in the supportive and engaging lesson. I truly enjoyed it. Can't wait for another lesson!!
Leo is an excellent teacher for Mandarin Chinese. He is brilliant at helping with pronunciation - correcting your pronunciation of pinyin as well as making sure you use the correct tone. Though I've had a few months of informal tutoring with a native speaker, she could not explain to me what I was doing wrong. Leo was fantastic. He knew exactly what I was doing wrong, and he could explain how to correct it. I believe I learned more in my first class with him than I would in multiple lessons with my other tutor. I cannot recommend Leo enough. If you want to learn Mandarin correctly and understand why you make mistakes so that your Mandarin will improve, I strongly suggest Leo as your teacher. I can't wait for my next lesson.
Leo provided alot of energy and enthusiasm during the class and speaks excellent English.
Just had my first lesson with Leo! He was well prepared, energetic, nice and attentive. Looking forward for our next lesson!
Leo is a really flexible and competent teacher, really recommended for advanced learners!
Leo是一位出色的老师。我们今天讨论了未来的课。此外，我们开始了准备HSK5。谢谢你的耐心 !
My first lesson with Leo went fantastically! He came to the lesson not only well prepared, but possessed a great attitude and enthusiasm! I really enjoyed having some basic conversations with him. 我们聊天故宫， 长城，西安， 北京和等中国文化。 跟Leo 老师， 我可以练习我的听力和我的口音。除了练习，他还教我新词汇和温习我的以前的学问。 Leo老师还给我很多书所以我可以自己学习！ 厉害！ 非常好课， 老师！ 非常好！ 很好玩的课！ 再一次见！
I've had many classes with Leo, he's an excellent teacher. He's been great with correcting my tones and getting me to sound more fluent. He is always professional and prepared for class- he has lots of learning resources. Highly recommend. Cheers Leo!
A very excellent teacher, i look forward to my future classes! He was very helpful, amicable, and has a very good teaching instinct. I would definitely recommend. 謝謝您!

A very comprehensive and interesting lesson. Leo is very encouraging for me to practice my speaking and comprehension. Thank you 🙂

I just finished a trial class with Leo. He is a great teacher. I look forward to other classes with him.
Another pleasant lesson with Leo. Just enough to make it challenging but not pressured.
Leo's lessons are excellent! He's super patient and he always understands, no matter how bad my Chinese is 😀 I definitely recommend him!
Just had my first lesson with Leo, and we dove right into the material. After only one hour, it feels like I've already made tons of progress. Highly recommend this teacher!
I just finished my first lesson with Leo and it was very enjoyable. It was a really good introduction to the language and was really patient and organized with lots of material and a structured plan.
Awesome first lesson with Leo, very patient teacher and is able to cater to my beginner standard in Chinese. Highly recommended to try out!
A great teacher who can explain things clearly, always a pleasure.
My lesson went really well. We jumped right into the lesson and I really had to think on my feet. It's been a while since I've had anyone to talk to and I was a little bit rusty. I think this was a great start and I will be booking more lessons.
Leo's lessons are really well-structured, exactly what I was looking for!
