Laurent Gu

Gu Hao is a very patient teacher, even when the student is not very well prepared. I still learned a lot (and noticed where I have to get much better) - and all this in a very friendly and professional environment.

It was my first Chinese lesson ever. I had something prepared so I would have something to say in Chinese. Laurent was very patient with me. He corrected my pronunciation, tonality, vocabulary and sentence structure. He also speaks fluent English and can explain things clearly in English as needed. I found a long term Chinese teacher.

I really enjoyed the lesson. Conversations with Laurent are always very comfortable. He writes notes during the lesson, that are very helpful for later review. The whole sentences are the most useful, because after lesson I can still remember how to use new words and in which context I’ve heard them. Besides that, the quality of sound is really good, that is particularly important for conversation classes, and I had no problems to understand what he says.

Gu Hao is a model teacher.

Laurent is a playful and incredibly patient teacher, always encouraging me at my own pace. He has a knack for making each lesson enjoyable, even getting me to sing (which I normally would never do!) just to help perfect my tones. His creative approach and genuine care for my progress make learning a lot more fun and less intimidating. I highly recommend Laurent to anyone wanting to try Chinese, he makes the journey as rewarding as the destination!

Gu Hao is an extremely helpful teacher.
