thechairmansbao.com HSK materials writer here — if you're looking for an HSK exam expert or want to confidently discuss business, travel, or the NBA in Chinese, I'm a great fit! I specialize in clear, effective methods to help you overcome exam challenges. I lived in the U.S. for six months in 2017, exploring places like Yellowstone National Park and Las Vegas, which deepened my passion for discussing cross-cultural topics in Chinese — from NBA stars and holiday foods to financial history. Many of my students have successfully passed HSK6. I look forward to helping you turn Chinese into a true advantage with expertise and enthusiasm!

I have been learning Chinese with Teacher Dan for almost eight months now. Today is my 50th lessons and we have finished HSK 6. His classes are always efficient, as he focuses on the key points without wasting any time, and I always feel that I get my money's worth from each lesson. I couldn't be happier with the progress I've made with my pronunciation. Thanks to his great instruction and guidance, my pronunciation has improved greatly. Even after class, He takes the time to review my homework and is always available to answer any questions that I may have. He is always quick to respond and never makes me feel like I am bothering him. Teacher Dan is truly the best teachers on italki, and I feel so lucky to be his student, and I cannot thank him enough for all he has done for me. I will continue to improve my Chinese skills with him for years! With his dedication, patience, and expertise, I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to improve their Chinese language skills.

Haven't written a review for a while. We are going through an HSK 5 textbook, almost done, focusing on vocabulary, text and exercises. Everything is good as usually.
