KAI

As always Kai was most encouraging and acted as a critical friend, offering corrections selectively, and making sure that the emphasis was on comprehension. He was able, deftly, to adapt our conversation in directions which were of particularly interest to me, even though they were not directions which I had "warned" him about beforehand. Nonetheless, he was able to steer the conversation ably, both from helping me express my ideas in Taiwanese and showing a shared interest in the thoughts I was keen to communicate. I invariably conclude our lessons with a renewed enthusiasm.

I've taken several Taiwanese lessons with Tom and have learned a lot. Tom is a skilled teacher who patiently explains new concepts and corrects mistakes. I'm looking forward to continuing my progress under his tutelage.

Especially good today. Kai invariably enthuses me to want make conversation and, no matter the directions we go in accordance with my interests, is happy the happy knack of being able to speak at a level that counts as "comprehensible input", a level when I can understand most of what he says ... and, with it, it's conversation on subjects of interest to me, not just speaking Taiwanese for the purpose of learning Taiwanese. To summarise: excellent, I really enjoyed this lesson.

Kai is an excellent teacher. He uses your real life experiences to teach you the language, as well as formal materials to help you visualize and understand the language in multiple contexts. My husband and I have been taking lessons from Kai for several months (different languages) and we are truly improving. He is professional and personable, creating a comfortable and enjoyable environment for whoever he sees. I highly recommend Kai!

An incredibly supportive and intelligent teacher. I would strongly recommend him to anyone.

really helpful lesson with kai :) i have a specific textbook we're going through, he has a good balance of chatting, asking me questions, talking (giving me a chance to listen) and discussing the textbook contents (grammar, dialogue...). the atmosphere is light and nice, but i learn a lot, i feel my confidence coming back :)
