Hi, guys, my name is Ben. I come from Taiwan but am now living in Mexico City, Mexico. I was an English major in undergraduate and later a translation and interpretation (English to Chinese and vice versa) major in the graduate school. I have been teaching English, Chinese and Thai in Taiwan, the Philippines and Thailand so far.
Ben is a really wonderful and patient teacher who does an excellent job offering correction while still being very encouraging. Our lessons are mainly focused on advanced conversation, for which he makes extensive use of talk shows, TEDtalks, and other media. He does a really nice job of tailoring lesson content to match your interests, which keeps you engaged and helps you practice communicating your ideas and opinions on issues that are relevant to you. I really appreciate this approach, since it gets learners connected with Chinese-language media that's not pedagogical in nature, which really takes the learning 'out of the classroom', so to speak. Overall, I've really enjoyed working with Ben and would highly recommend him to anyone wishing to learn or practice Chinese!

I had a great first lesson with Ben. He is very charismatic and patient. It was really convenient that he wrote all the words and phrases I didn't know in Hanzi, Pinyin, and English. This makes it easier to integrate into my studies. Great tutor!
