Learn with Yu Zhe

I speak Chinese at an advanced level and have had many different Mandarin tutors in my life, both in the USA and Taiwan. Yu Zhe is an exceptionally skilled teacher. He wastes no time during lessons, attends to student needs always, remembers past discussions and lesson content, and is very good at balancing between having a conversation and correcting your mistakes. He is efficient and thorough. To anyone looking to take their Mandarin to the next level, I would gladly recommend Yu Zhe!

Been learning with Yu Zhe for 2.5 years now and it's impossible to comprehend how far I've come in my Mandarin! Going from incoherently speaking small sentences to having full conversations for an hour is an incredible feat only possible with an experienced and caring teacher. I'll be back in 2026 for more lessons (and you should, too!).

80+ lessons with Zhe and it's always the highlight of my week!

Yu Zhe is one of the best Chinese teachers I've had -- he's always prepared for class, is willing to tailor the class to your interests and needs, and is extremely knowledgeable about various topics (including history and culture). I strongly recommend anyone wanting to improve or maintain their Chinese level take a class with Yu Zhe

Today we learned new vocabulary and grammar terms! We learned a lot,

When I first started learning from Yu Zhe, I knew a decent amount of grammar and vocabulary from studying on my own, but I couldn't really understand spoken Chinese (I could recognize the occasional word or phrase, but that was about it). I've now completed 20 lessons with Yu Zhe, and this past weekend, I was thrilled to realize I could understand about 50% of what my wife said on a phone call to her parents. I'm really looking forward to where I'll be after another 20 lessons!
