My daugter has been learning Mandarin from Yanli for over 3 years. She is an amazing teacher. Teaching creatively and with lots of teaching materials. Most important is she is very patient to pupils. My daughter loves her so much. Now she can read and write beautiful Chinese by her own. Highly recommend her.
He one of the best teacher of English and science. I have much learned much from it. , 9 May’ 24
I have been working with Tiago for almost 2 years now on European Portuguese. He's taken me from the basics of greetings, food, and numbers, to speaking, reading, writing, and learning idioms and verb conjugations. He provides comprehensive tutorial slides that he builds on constantly. His homework is based in content versus memorization and classes are practical, with a mixture of foundational grammar and verbs along with live practice, including homework review.
Our work together has included reading and understanding fairy tales, poetry, and historical texts, doing work sheets, listening to and understanding podcasts and news programs, a short daily written diary, reading aloud in class to perfect pronunciation, conversation practice, creative sentence writing to drill in grammatical concepts and/or verb conjugation, and even recording and reviewing together a live conversation with my family in Portugal. He has a great memory and attention to detail and homes in on concepts, or pronunciations, I might be struggling with to ensure I remember them to build on. (Ask me how many ways "x" is pronounced in Portuguese!)
Tiago is an excellent teacher, who is patient, creative and able to meet the student where she/he is to help them keep progressing. You will have fun working with him and he will consistently challenge you. He has built my confidence in the language tremendously.
