Gu Hao is a very patient teacher, even when the student is not very well prepared. I still learned a lot (and noticed where I have to get much better) - and all this in a very friendly and professional environment.

I really enjoyed the lesson. Conversations with Laurent are always very comfortable. He writes notes during the lesson, that are very helpful for later review. The whole sentences are the most useful, because after lesson I can still remember how to use new words and in which context I’ve heard them. Besides that, the quality of sound is really good, that is particularly important for conversation classes, and I had no problems to understand what he says.

I've been studying Mandarin with Laurent on italki for about two months and have made steady progress. He explains grammar points and vocabulary clearly, without overwhelming me, and always prepares well-structured lessons tailored to my goals. Laurent is patient and encouraging, gently correcting my pronunciation and tones while giving me plenty of speaking and listening practice. Overall, he's a reliable and effective tutor, and I recommend him highly.

It was my first Chinese lesson ever. I had something prepared so I would have something to say in Chinese. Laurent was very patient with me. He corrected my pronunciation, tonality, vocabulary and sentence structure. He also speaks fluent English and can explain things clearly in English as needed. I found a long term Chinese teacher.

Always a great session with Laurent. I really appreciate when he provides examples, additional vocabulary and grammatical rules.
