Stone Yan - 颜士东

My journey with Stone has been a pleasure. He's willing to help correct essays and offer help both in and out of class--it's clear that he's invested in your entire learning experience, not just your in-lesson experience. He's good-natured and supportive, and will often refer back to things we've previously learned to help cement concepts. I'd recommend trying him out!

Stone is SO much fun. I always am laughing and learning at the same time. He sent me a document to keep record of simple phrases. He keeps me on track when I wander into a different topic, is very patient when I don't understand, tells me not to worry, and explains new words while telling stories. I highly recommend his class! Stone辅导教师把新词汇解释了，把东西出现了，告诉我“别担心” 和如果我逛逛到别的话题的话， 他吸引我回来。他总是给我一些例子。他说：“尽管问我吧！” 谢谢您老师！

Excellent. I had a lot of fun chatting, and Stone gave me just the sort of pointers I need for my level and goals. I've been studying 普通话 for five years, but mostly by myself. I'm brushing up for an upcoming business trip to Taipei. Thanks!!

Stone is an outstanding teacher. He is always on time, well-prepared, patient, engaging, and funny. The more lessons we have, the more I enjoy our conversations. He has a real talent for speaking Chinese to your level, which has really helped me build up my confidence in expressing myself.

I passed the HSK 3 in 6 months after learning from zero!

谢谢你 for a great first lesson, Stone. 很高兴认识你. Good to chat about plans / motives / goals for learning Chinese. Very helpful how you typed vocab and phrases in a shared Google Sheet as we spoke. We made a simple plan to talk about my daily life, using a daily diary for material as you suggested - I look forward to future sessions :) Danny
