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.

Great class

I have enjoyed my lessons with Laurent so far. He sent me a nice note before our first lesson to ask how he could help me with my Chinese. I asked if I could bring some textbook activities for us to work on together, and he has been very comfortable and helpful working through those with me. He is a very interesting person to talk with, so it’s also fun just chatting with him in Chinese before working on something specific. Laurent is very organized, friendly, detail-oriented, and always on time, and I would recommend him as a tutor.

Excellent class
