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！

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

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.

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!!

I learned more about the nuance in Chinese. The lessons are getting more practical and usable when I talk with native speakers.
