Laurent Gu

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.

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.

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.

Gu Hao is a competent teacher - and he is also flexible and can answer any question.

Laurent is an excellent teacher! Very helpful, professional and friendly. He guides the conversation so you never feel awkward or bored. He sends very helpful notes during the lesson as you come across new words and he explains new concepts very well. I highly recommend his lessons!

Before the class I mentioned that I wanted help with my pronunciation and we spent a good portion of the hour drilling various sounds and tones. Laurent was very helpful with the feedback and very willing to continue spending time with it in our future lessons together.
