Chinese with Ben

I've been taking lessons with Benfang since October. He is always well prepared for class and brings alot of energy. He uses Chinese the whole time and introduces really useful vocabulary and sentence patterns through normal conversation. We cover alot in each session, but it flies by and I look forward to the next one. In the past, I've always kept my sentences super short as I'm not confident speaking. With Benfang, I feel like I can expand alot more and am able to talk about things using more detail and accuracy. Since each lesson builds on what we did before, it's getting easier to recall and use structures more automatically. If you want to kick-start your speaking, I'd encourage you to check out Benfang's YouTube channel and try a lesson!

I sometimes wish I had contacted Ben earlier. I'm increasingly realizing how targeted learning for the HSK1-3 (and probably all further levels) differs from what is needed in real life. Ben makes each lesson so practical, lively and relaxed that you almost become addicted to more. There's nothing like having someone who understands their profession!

I've had a few lessons with Ben now and I'm really enjoying them! Ben's method is fantastic - tailoring the level of the lesson to the student, going through new words, building on last lesson and going through fun stories to use the new words. My confidence in listening and speaking Chinese has really improved and I'm excited to see my progress grow over time!

I’ve been taking lessons with Ben, and I’m genuinely impressed. His interactive teaching style sets him apart, it’s nothing like the dry, textbook-style study you may get with many teachers. Every session with Ben feels engaging and stimulating, with real conversation and active practice that keep you involved the whole time. He explains concepts clearly, adapts to your pace, and always finds ways to make the material relatable and easy to understand. His lesson notes are another huge plus and incredibly helpful for reviewing after class. You can tell he puts real effort into making sure students not only learn, but remember and apply what they learn. If you want a teacher who keeps things lively, meaningful, and motivating, I highly recommend Ben.

Ben’s teaching style is fantastic for visual learners!

Had a fantastic lesson with Teacher Ben. Right from the start he will make it easy and comfortable to speak. The way he teaches makes it easy and intuitive to understand. The lesson flows well and you can learn so much from just a single lesson. If you're serious about learning Mandarin easily and effectively I highly recommend trying a class!
