Dan is a very good teacher of Chinese Mandarin. I have been listening to CD's for more than a year to try to learn on my own, but Dan has taught me more in 6 lessons than I learned n=on my own. His English is very good and he explains the language in a very relatable way, making it mush easier to understand. I am looking forward to my next trip to a Chinese speaking country to try out what I have learned without fear om embarrassing myself. Thanks Dan

Hi Dan,
Thank you very much for the first class. I really appreciated that you shared throughout the class both characters and pinyin when needed, it is really helpful. Thank you also for sharing the textbook and looking forward to our next class.

Dan Dai was very willing to walk the extra mile, even before we started our lesson. He asked me specific questions to better understand how he could help me the most and adjusted the lesson to my needs. He was positive, gave me encouragement to learn and materials to practice, also assisted me in practicing over and over with a positive attitude. As well showed personal interest, he could easily become your tutor and friend, someone who you would like to see class after class, the longer we practiced, the more I've learned, every minute!
