Jason Zou

I really liked his teaching style. I feel like I can clearly hear the differences in tones thanks to his explanations and visuals. He really wants to make sure you’re pronouncing things correctly, so he is very helpful correcting your speech. If you speak Japanese, it will be weird because you can make out a lot of semantics from the characters, but you won’t be able to pronounce them (for the most part). It was my first Mandarin lesson ever so we just went over pinyin and tones, but I’m excited to continue learning and eventually reach fluency in a few years.

a nice teacher

Amazing 1st Lesson. We went over pronunciation, basic Mandarin Chinese vocabulary, and phrases. Very encouraging environment. 10/10 Recommend this teacher to everyone interested in learning the great language of Mandarin Chinese. 谢谢老师

Jason is a very helpful teacher. He writes down new words and sentences in a Google sheet so I can study later, which is very helpful. This is my first lesson with him, and he's a keeper.

looking forwoad to the next lesson.

Thank you to Jason 老师 for your patience in reviewing these often dense political / historical articles that I pick. It was also helpful to review the materials with economics concepts as well. I feel like I'm slowly building up a common vocabulary set of phrases and words that tend to crop up in these sorts of pieces, but it will definitely take time. Jason also brings in interesting anecdotes and other information that is relevant to the material. Looking forward to future classes.
