Just realized I now have taken >120 lessons with Sebastian since 2022 who guided me to reach a high intermediate level in Mandarin. I can understand and communicate about everyday topics, express opinions, and handle most situations while traveling, with some mistakes but generally clear communication. He's the best teacher I could have chosen, I am extremely grateful for his patience, encouragement and friendship. Highest recommendation.

Great class! We covered a wide range of topics, including the educational system in Taiwan and how it differs from that in the US. I had plenty of opportunities to practice speaking Mandarin, and Sebastian taught me many useful words and expressions. Highly recommended!

My first lesson with Sebastian was great! He was very kind and patient, and he took the time to understand my learning goals while also telling me a plan for how to get there. Looking forward to many more lessons :)
