After studying at a famous Chinese university for three semesters, you may think that my Mandarin was pretty good. Unfortunately, that was not the case. Then, during my fourth semester of study, I met Xiaochao at That's Mandarin. Wow, what a difference that made!
Xiaochao is not just a teacher, but rather he is an innovator when it comes to knowing how to connect with his students and ensuring their rapid progress. Xiaochao has developed his own teaching materials that really hone in the key vocabulary and sentence structures that you need to be successful in communicating modern Chinese. If you have ever studied from university textbooks, I am sure you relate with my frustration about how `academic` they can be. Not to mention what a waste of time it is to be in a classroom surrounded by 10 to 25 other foreign students, whose mistakes confuse you and leave you unable to develop an ear for the correct pronunciation.
Thanks to Xiaochao's instruction and devotion, the level of fluency I reached helped me get a dream job at home in South Carolina that puts me in close contact with Chinese leaders, diplomats, and business executives. Xiaochao helped me to impress famous Chinese CEOs, government officials and most recently one of China's vice premiers. I really can't recommend That's Mandarin enough.
