Highly Recommend to Chinese students who want to improve English！The lesson with Ty is one of the BEST on italki! He is super kind, interesting and patient teacher. The talk was so enjoyable and meaningful. He even gave me detailed feedback about some mistakes or sth can be improved which is so necessary for me to know. That's sweet and indeed helpful. Thanks Ty! Look forward to next meeting. BTW, Ty knows a lot about Chinese culture and even can speak well in Chinese. Pretty cool!
