Jacob is an excellent teacher. Always on time, professional and very well prepared for the lesson. Very patient, can expalin grammar in easy to understand way. My pronanuciation definetely improved as well as reading of the characters. When asked, he will assign homework and then check it and point out any errors. His explenations are clear and easy to understand. I enjoy Mandarin lessons with Jacob a lot.

Jacob did a wonderful job laying out what we would cover and which resources we would use to do so.

Great introduction. Outlined his personal style as well as long-term goals and what he could offer. I’ll be working to improve conversational fluency for an upcoming trip. Beyond that, considering working in his curriculum to improve overall fluency.

Jacob is a very patient and thorough teacher. Before my first lesson, he asked a series of questions to make sure the class was suitable for my learning level (upper beginner) and aligned with my goals. He provides me with learning materials so we can use HSK criteria and methods to track my progress. His English is excellent so he is able to explain grammar concepts easily. He also assigns homework (at my request) to keep me accountable and studying between sessions. Taking classes with Jacob is very helpful to keep me diligent with learning Mandarin on a regular basis.
