I’ve been practicing spoken Chinese with Laurent twice a week, and the sessions have been consistently helpful and well-structured. He is patient, clear, and good at setting the pace. His calm, encouraging style makes the lessons easy to stay with, and I always leave feeling a bit more confident. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a supportive online tutor.

It was my first Chinese lesson ever. I had something prepared so I would have something to say in Chinese. Laurent was very patient with me. He corrected my pronunciation, tonality, vocabulary and sentence structure. He also speaks fluent English and can explain things clearly in English as needed. I found a long term Chinese teacher.

I've been studying Mandarin with Laurent on italki for about four months and have made steady progress. He explains grammar points and vocabulary clearly, without overwhelming me, and always prepares well-structured lessons tailored to my goals. Laurent is patient and encouraging, gently correcting my pronunciation and tones while giving me plenty of speaking and listening practice. Overall, he's a reliable and effective tutor, and I recommend him highly.

Gu Hao is a very patient teacher, even when the student is not very well prepared. I still learned a lot (and noticed where I have to get much better) - and all this in a very friendly and professional environment.
