Allen is very friendly and easy to talk to. We started off by chatting a little in Mandarin, Allen was good at checking he understood what I was trying to say when I had a little trouble getting my words out. Then we started on some Cantonese basics, using a mix of English and Mandarin, which is what I was hoping for. The lesson went just like I wanted it to. I look forward to the next one!

Allen is an excellent teacher. Professional and very well prepared for the lesson. Very patient, can explain grammar in an easy and understandable way. My pronunciation definitely improved as well as reading of the characters. When asked, he will assign homework and then check it and point out any errors. His explanations are clear and easy to understand. I enjoy Mandarin lessons with Allen a lot.

Allen is very friendly and patient when teaching. I really love the way he covers key concepts. His lesson materials are also very helpful!

Alan is extremely positive, reliable and helpful. He is the first person I practiced Mandarin with, and it was the best choice I made. He not only helps me improve my conversation, but also makes learning about Chinese culture both fun and interesting. I recommend him for anyone at any level!

Prof. Allen helped me improve my Chinese essay by refining my expressions and polishing my academic writing style. Thank you so much for your valuable guidance and support!

Very helpful explanations in English and Cantonese (while learning Mandarin) from Allen. He focused on the proper sounds of the alphabet. The only downside was some platform issues that he was experiencing.
