Me as a Teacher
I am very passionate about both learning and teaching language. I put forward a unique classroom experience to my students with a multifaceted approach that covers the very same techniques I have used to vastly expand my own language abilities. I understand what it takes to be a good teacher, and understand what students really need at their own different stages of progression. With that in mind, it is my pleasure to help you get through this language journey efficiently and with the right tools.
My lessons & teaching style
My patience and experience will help guide you at whatever skill level you are, and without unnecessary pressure. My personalized teaching will help you learn more than just verbal communication, but also: literacy skills, proper phonetics, slang, grammar, conversational skills, and even some Chinese culture!

I am very happy with my lessons with Yu Zhe! His lessons have a very good balance between practicing speaking, tone practice, the basic grammar you need to know and even some cultural knowledge. I’ve had lessons for a couple of months now and for each month passing, I feel like I am making a big progress. Looking forward to continuing learning with this teacher!

What a terrific Chinese teacher! I highly recommend Yu Zhe to students learning Chinese at any level. He adapts his teaching to the student's needs, he explains everything clearly, and he always give the student the opportunity to ask questions and express opinions. A real find!

Having graduated with a Chinese degree from a leading UK university, Deng’s lessons are fundamental to continue improving my use of Chinese in the workplace as well as social situations. Deng works completely to my level and needs, providing challenging news articles, sight translation exercises, going through a specific business textbook, helping prepare Chinese language workplace assessments and interviews as well as continuous conversational improvements. Deng is a fantastic teacher and I get so much value out of every single lesson! Be warned: Lessons with Deng are addictive, he will improve your Chinese like no other teacher!!

If you are debating learning with Yu Zhe, take this as your sign to do it. He's a phenomenal teacher with an expert grasp of language-learning techniques and is very caring for his students. He finds your exact pain points and tailors lessons to help you overcome them. I've been working with him for six months, and I can say, without a doubt, that he's the biggest reason I've made any advancement in my Chinese journey. He provides material recommendations and knows them thoroughly, allowing you to test out the learnings from homework in each class, and he is always well prepared. I was lucky to find Yu Zhe as my first online Chinese teacher, and I will continue to work with him as long as I'm learning Chinese.
