Great teacher! Really enjoying my weekly lessons with Dan and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their Chinese. Also very helpful his English is so good for times when I don't understand the meaning of a Chinese word.

We've been working with Dan for almost a year and my two teenage sons are more confident in their speaking and are now working on strengthening their reading and writing. Dan is engaging and reliable - we recommend him!

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
