This was my first Chinese lesson and I throughly enjoy it. He was patient and answered my many questions. I feel I got a lot out of the lesson and I will book more appointments.

Jason is a very professional and passionate teacher of mandarin Chinese, it makes it all make sense and goes into detail! Very excited about my Chinese journey and looking forward to learning more. Jason also always prepares very helpful sheets with notes following each course, which I am able to go through, study and revise and, then, enter the following classroom well prepared! Absolutely recommended to anyone who wishes to enter the unknown world of Chinese!

Jason D. was very encouraging during our first class and I am confident that starting Mandarin Chinese with him will be decisive for my learning and progress going forward! He is very patient and diligent and followed a structure and also presented the next steps and the process we are going to follow during our classes to come! Looking forward to learning more!

I had another great lesson with Jason about International Relations in Chinese. He uses great material to discuss and is ready to adapt to my requests. We generally read a text or watch a video and then discuss it together. I am learning so many specific terms and would definitely recommend studying with him!
