Hsiao yang（ショウヨウ）

I have had several lessons with Xiao Yang in these months and he helped me so much improving my speaking and my overall knowledge of the Chinese language. He is kind, well-spoken and cultivates lots of interests and has always something to say or ask in order to engage in conversation. I highly suggest him as a Japanese/Chinese teacher

🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 初次上课的时候老师先是对我进行水平测试后才开始制定学习计划，测试过程中还十分细心，把我薄弱的地方用小本本记起来，制定了一个学习计划。 今天的课程是知识扫盲，老师在课程中穿插日本文化讲解，拓展了许多知识，让我能在轻松愉快的气氛中记住相关单词，了解到与中国不同的背景文化现象。我个人是不喜欢循规蹈矩的学习方式，更喜欢以听故事的方式来记知识点，而刚好老师是个喜欢讲故事的人！😄😄😄 再提一点！老师不仅仅是自己讲，也会在讲解过程中让我自己思考，我会发现，咦，原来平时没注意到这个简简单单的句子也有这样的细节，这样记得更牢固！ 期待下节课😆

As someone who has studied Japanese with multiple teachers over Italki, I can confidently say that ショウヨウ Sensei stands out as one of the best. From the very first lesson, it was clear that ショウヨウ Sensei possesses a deep understanding of both the language and how to teach it effectively to students of all levels. ショウヨウ Sensei is an exceptional Japanese teacher who makes learning the language a truly enjoyable and enriching experience. His expertise, patience, and personalized approach to teaching make him an ideal choice for anyone looking to learn Japanese. I cannot recommend him highly enough!

非常感謝老師耐心的聽我說話。 本來上課前很緊張的，結果老師很親切，讓我可以放心上課。 希望跟著老師能讓自己的日語有更明顯的進步！！ 謝謝老師！期待下堂課。

老师的课堂内容充实且条理清晰。他善于将复杂难懂的知识点用简单明了的语言表达出来，让我在理解上毫无障碍。课堂上，他总是结合实际案例，使理论知识变得生动有趣，极大地激发了我的学习兴趣。此外，老师还注重课堂互动，经常提问并鼓励我积极发言，营造出活跃的课堂氛围。

The teacher did not correct my spoken Japanese based on the sentence patterns I had used. Instead of looking for mistakes in my utteraces, he replaced mine with a different sentence. For example, when I tried to use the past tense form た plus ので to show the relationship between two sentences, he simply stopped me by suggesting another one that ended with ことがありました. I felt like I was wrong if I did not use the patterns that he wanted me to use. What's more, he distorted my meaning by using the present form before こと. Also, when talking about the study of Japanese, I used 習っています. Again, he assumed that I was trying to use 学んでいます、but had mistakenly used 並ぶ. It seemed to me that he was not careful enough to pay attention to what I was saying, and made conclusions too early. Besides, he was supposed to lead the lesson, but instead he kept asking me whether I had any questions in order to kill time. Finally, he left the lesson when there was one minute left. Such an unpleasant experience.
