Get in Touch with Jeff

Thinking about learning Mandarin, brushing up before a trip to China, or just curious whether private lessons are right for you? Jeff would love to hear from you. The first conversation is always free, no commitment, no pressure — just a friendly chat about where you are and where you'd like to go.

Use the form below to send Jeff a note. He reads every message himself, and replies are usually in your inbox within a day or two.

Rates

Lessons are $60 per hour. If that doesn't quite work for your situation — longer packages, smaller budgets, group rates, corporate engagements — mention it in your message. Jeff is flexible and will figure out something that fits.

Availability

Jeff teaches students all over the world, so time zones aren't usually a problem. When you write, drop in a quick note about your time zone and the days or hours that work best for you, and he'll send back some options.

What to Expect from the First Conversation

The free consultation is a low-key chance for Jeff to learn what you're hoping to accomplish — whether that's holding your first conversation in Mandarin, passing an HSK level, or sounding more confident on a sales call in Shanghai. You can ask him anything: how he teaches, what a lesson looks like, how long things might take. Bring questions; he'll bring answers.
