Howie 恩浩

I have been studying with Howie for over two years and it's been an incredible experience. My conversational skills have improved dramatically! And it's worth mentioning that the content of the conversations we're having -- these are conversations that I want to have! They're natural and relevant to my life, and I'm learning to express myself correctly in Mandarin. I cannot tell you how many very boring, rigid Chinese teachers I went through until I found Howie. Howie leads a very interesting life, full of travel abroad, studying other languages, and making friends. He is someone that can connect with anyone, I believe, and our lessons are peppered with laughter, wisdom and learning. Very enjoyable, relaxed learning environment. To his credit, Howie has taken the time to understand my life and accepted my own limitations with advancing with Mandarin. But he's never given up on me, and the encouragement to continue is entirely positive and very motivating. I strongly recommend him!

Highly recommend for those who seek for a Chinese teacher at every levels. I have been studying with him for over 10 classes now. All I could say is his teaching style is really flexible and lively so you are not gonna be bored at all. With his amiability, you feel no pressure even though you are new to this language. After each classes, you will always get new useful vocabs, phrases, grammar that could be applied in your daily conversation.

Sense of humor, practical, relatable. Howie is a great teacher and gave my 9yo useful tips and practice for his Mandarin coursework!!

Howie is amazing! I've had many lessons with him now and its always great! Not only is he funny and makes the lessons relaxed, he also puts together interesting topics and helps me improve my speaking ability and vocab, step by step! I definetly recommend him to anyone who wants to improve their language ability!

This was my first class with Howie and I can definitely attest to him being a great conversationalist! We carried out the class almost entirely in Chinese despite my being rusty (I would default to English if I didn't know a word or how to explain it) - he was very good at explaining things while adapting to my level. I also really appreciated that he asked about my language goals and followed up with homework soon after the class.

Howie is always on time
