Austin B.

74 Chinese lessons

My roommate is Chinese and I have a number of other Chinese friends and many of them have had the opportunity to meet and spend time with Todd. Two things always jump out from these interactions. One, they are impressed with the quality of his Mandarin. And two, his extensive knowledge of Chinese culture is exceptional and typically far beyond what they are aware of -- they get very engaged when Todd is able to share with them more about their own culture. I can't recommend Todd enough.
