Real stories from real people

Since 2005, Wyzant has provided a way for people to learn any subject in a way that works for them.

Austin B.

62 Mandarin lessons

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. I attribute my continued desire to learn Mandarin and Chinese culture to having him as a teacher.
Michelle J.

143 Mandarin lessons

Li B. is a wonderful teacher for my 11 year old daughter who is continuing her Mandarin upon our return to the US after living in Singapore. As a former primary school teacher from mainland China, Li B.'s style is both nurturing and encouraging while keeping my daughter challenged in conversational Mandarin, including writing and reading characters. We feel so lucky to have met Li B, and so thankful to continue Mandarin studies in Boca Raton, Florida of all places!
Gretchen L.

68 Mandarin lessons

My daughter is going to a summer camp this summer that will have lots of Mandarin speakers. I think that she will be able to get along well with them. It would be great if the schools in NH taught Mandarin. But we're glad we found Zhihui L. We are moving to Massachusetts so we won't be working with her next year. If we were staying, we would definitely have continued on with her until my daughter graduated from High School.
