All teachers are certified and have exceptional experience in teaching Mandarin. Students will make rapid progress towards fluency with a course at their level, tailored to their needs. Every student’s progress is monitored from day one and they will receive regular feedback throughout their course.

Students are encouraged to come to the lesson early, or stay after class where they can browse Chinese texts, novels and comic books, drink tea, and immerse themselves in Chinese culture. Students may take the same group module up to twice within a year free of charge if extra help is needed.

"Hong Lao Shi (Amy) has been my teacher for almost a year. One of the big differences is her enthusiasm - which is infectious - and her "gentleness" with her students: you will never be criticized, and you will progress at your own pace. This inspires you to make effort. She is also unstinting of her time in guiding students through difficulties that they may encounter."
