Crystal Gao

Very good experience. Helps me remember Japanese, conducts the lesson as much as possible in Japanese and points out the Mandarin equivalent where possible. The teacher prepares materials in advance that are appropriate for the level and for the purpose of the learning. Overall really strong recommendation, especially if you already have some Chinese knowledge as the teacher provides equivalent Chinese constructions where appropriate.

Having Crystal as my Chinese teacher for the past two years has been such a treat! Her love for the language and teaching really shines through, making each lesson a joy to attend. What I love most about Crystal's way of teaching is how she brings in elements of my own hobbies and life into our lessons. It's like I'm learning Chinese through my own stories! I also learned a lot of interesting facts and stories relating to Chinese culture. And Crystal has got this knack for making tricky parts of the language feel easy and I've come so far thanks to her. Big thanks to you, Crystal, for being the best teacher and making learning so much fun! 🌟📚

Love my lessons with Gao sensei! She's really amazing at helping me to build a solid foundation by explaining the basics of the Japanese language; while giving me lots of opportunities to practice. Truly one of a kind on Genki! Much gratitude to Genki for having Gao sensei as an option!

レッスンのペース、発音、文法、会話のポイントなどとても分かりやすく丁寧に教えてくれました。楽しくあっという間のレッスンタイムでした♪

My kid was delighted to see you again and really enjoyed learning Mandarin from you!

Crystal is a very patient and encouraging teacher. She picks out quite quickly which areas I tend to stumble in my pronunciation and she helps me to correct them by providing the right resources and breaking things down for me. She patiently helps me to repeat small parts and build on it until I manage. Her gentleness and patience create a learning environment where I am not afraid to make mistakes, which is very important in learning a language.
