Learn with Yu Zhe

宇哲是個很好的老師，很喜歡上他的課。我們討論生詞的時候他會舉例子，幫我更了解呢些生詞的用法。 Yu Zhe is a great teacher. I like taking his class a lot. When we were talking about new vocabulary, he gave lots of good examples.

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.

He has been my teacher for a very long time and I have learned so much from him. He’s very encouraging and makes learning Chinese fun. I highly recommend him to anyone who wishes to learn Chinese. You’ll be very happy.

I’ve been studying Mandarin with Yu Zhe for about 10 lessons now and would definitely recommend him. He tries to meet the student where they are at, and he alternates well between structure (having a plan for the sessions), and pacing (slowing down when needed). Because I am probably at an intermediate-low level of proficiency, we are working through a textbook. This gives me the additional support I need for studying on my own time and our lessons are the time for me to ask him any questions and to practice conversing based on the material. I have felt consistently challenged in his lessons as learning Mandarin is not easy for me, and have appreciated his balanced strictness with grammar and pronunciation and consistent reassurance that I’m making progress towards achieving my learning goals. I plan to continue taking lessons with Yu Zhe and, if you’re reading this to get a sense of whether you should try a session with him, too, totally think you should. :) 加油！

Today we used vocabulary to discuss culture and current events. It was a very engaging and educational lesson.

Another great lesson. We practiced a restaurant role play, which was really fun and useful.
