Tony is a very friendly, skilled conversationalist. Really appreciated Tony's understanding of the importance of patiently letting a student try (and often fail) to express something, before offering corrections. Thanks for a great lesson!

Learning a language you're interested in from a native speaker is great, but when that speaker is patient, encouraging, and friendly? He is your go-to Chinese teacher!

It was a great first lesson. I mainly wanted to practice my speaking and I found it helpful when Tony typed out words and phrases during our conversation so I could recognize them and reference them later on.
