Kent was a referral from a friend of mine who’s a journalist and spoke highly of his teaching abilities. After six months of classes, I must say that this is the best language course, I’ve taken. 

Kent has the ability to effectively teach conversation, enunciation, background of certain words/phrases and above all, make it fun and interesting to learn. He really takes the time and effort to make sure his students are comfortable with the speed and progress and tailors each course specifically to their needs and abilities.  

He also organizes regular student gatherings that surround Chinese holidays or events, so that we have an opportunity to meet others in different stages of learning as well as better understand Chinese culture. 

Overall, I would highly recommend Kent as a mandarin teacher for those who want a great teacher that adds a personal touch and makes the entire experience highly enjoyable.
