Linus Liu

Chinese lessons with Linus are always exciting. With every lesson, I feel more confident with my understanding of spoken and written Chinese 😊

Linus' lessons are always tailored to my needs - whether I want to work from textbook, or have a discussion about a Chengyu I've heard, he makes sure I leave the lesson without unanswered questions. I've been learning with Linus since I first started studying Chinese, and his lessons have been a cornerstone of my learning. I would recommend Linus as a teacher to a Chinese student of any standard, who want a personalized learning experience from a teacher who is passionate about teaching Chinese.

I am currently taking the B1/B2 class, and Linus was very prepared and tailored each class to suit my language skill and level. He has a wide range of material that he uses and the lessons never get boring. We are currently working on reading comprehension and conversation, and I am already seeing an improvement after a few classes. The materials he has given me thus far build upon each other, so there is a natural progression. This is great if you like a structured course. I also purchased the conversational Chinese course package from Linus. The conversational courses are fun and more informal, and are a great supplement to my B1/B2 lessons.

If I could give Linus more than 5 stars I would. I’ve never had anyone work me on tones the way he does. I can’t wait to see how I improve.

Demonstrates Extreme patience with beginners that I could not show myself!!

Linus is a really engaging teacher and our lessons fly by. He is thorough on correcting my tones and pronunciation, which is very important to me. His teaching approach involves a cycle of learning and quizzing, and it surprises me how quickly I'm learning Chinese characters.
