Why learn Chinese from Nick? 

The advantage to learning Mandarin from me is that I learned Mandarin as a second language as well and connect with my students in their learning experience.

In my language lessons, I bring fresh and unconventional teaching styles to people of all levels. My curriculum and teaching method is a direct reflection of my personality, ensuring learning is fun and engaging. I tailor curriculum to each individual or group I work with, producing more effective results as well as creating an enjoyable learning experience.
