Leo Yang

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!

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.

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.

Leo is always friendly and patient during the classes. Although he has to repeat the same things again and again as I confuse one character with another, this has never made me uncomfortable, on the contrary, I’ve found out his approach makes it easier for me to try without being afraid of making mistakes and learn faster. I’ve never felt embarrassed or afraid of saying something wrong. 谢谢， Leo, for making classes so fun and structured at the same time. Looking forward to the next one!

Excellent as always.
