Chinese Programs in Shanghai&Suzhou with Silk Mandarin

I have been studying at Silk Mandarin Institute since two months. Before I came to know Silk Mandarin I studied HSK 1 in Dhaka and then HSK 2 at home during the lockdown period. After a short time I understood that I made the right choice. Silk Mandarin offers a very efficient study method and at the same time the opportunity to be in the hands of real professionals in this field. My teacher has the capacity to make the lessons pleasant and highly productive thus helping me not only with my studies but also in keeping my motivation up. Besides an excellent study program the school allows you to fully emerge into the daily life and the culture of this wonderful country.

Sono veramente felice di avere scelto il Silk Mandarin .

Sono uno studente del Silk Mandarin da due mesi. Prima di conoscere questo istituto ho studiato Hsk 1 a Dhaka e poi Hsk2 a casa durante il periodo di lockdown da solo. Dopo poco tempo ho capito che ho fatto la scelta giusta. Il Silk Mandarin offre non solo un metodo di studio molto efficace, ma anche la possibilità di essere seguiti da veri professionisti del settore. La mia insegnante rende le lezioni piacevoli e allo stesso tempo altamente produttive aiutandomi non solo nello studio, ma anche a tenere alte le mie motivazioni. Inoltre la scuola con un programma di studio eccellente permette una full immersion nella vita quotidiana e nella cultura di questo meraviglioso paese.

I have been taking private classes since moving to China in 2016 and I started attending Silk Mandarin in person (in Shanghai) in 2021, at friends' recommendation, and it's been a great decision. I have classmates and a regular schedule that is not easy to modify (as it happens with private classes) and that gave me the extra push I needed to study chinese more regularly and consistently. Consistency is key. The pace of the class is also adequate to really learn and assimilate the content. I personally would recommend small groups learning over private class anytime. The resources are great and the teachers pay attention to the individual students' needs. Also very accommodating with the schedule, which is very important for us working people. See you there!

I’ve been with this school for nearly 2 years and it’s been a great journey.

The school location is really convenient, building is nice, and the teachers staff are so knowledgeable and kind.

They also have many activities throughout the year so there are multiple chances to meet other students with similar or different backgrounds from the school.

Although they teach using the HSK books (which may be perfect if you’re going to take the exams), their method of teaching is easy to pick up and you’ll learn essential phrases to get you started. They also make short videos that are entertaining and teach you some core essentials / local language that you wouldn’t find in traditional teaching materials.

I’ve tried classes from other schools but I chose Silk Mandarin because their teaching style and staff just resonated with me.

All the private Chinese schools offer a trial lesson so try that first because making a commitment.

But I wouldn’t be surprised if you chose Silk Mandarin in the end.

Silk Mandarin in Shanghai is an excellent school for learning Chinese. From the first day I stepped in, the management team and teachers have been very professional in helping me choose the right level where to start my classes in. The school provides a variety of learning possibilities from offline/online group classes to offline/online private classes. The group classes are kept small (2-4 students) which is perfect for absorbing all the learning material and giving the opportunity for each student to practice reading and speaking. The private classes can be customized both in content and schedule to match the time availability and the learning development of the student. The teachers are very friendly and are most of the time available for quick support even outside of the class through messaging apps. This is very helpful if you have any questions when reviewing the lessons.

Furthermore, the school organizes many events for socializing with teachers and students from other groups.

All in all, I can say that my Chinese has improved a lot (HSK1 to HSK3) since joining Silk Mandarin, thanks to the applied learning methodology and the friendly environment.

I would absolutely recommend Silk Mandarin for anyone interested in learning Chinese.

My experience at Silk Mandarin was fantastic overall. I started classes with them just after finishing HSK 4. I was looking for a full-time program and they were able to adapt to my schedule and set up an 8-week program tailored to my needs. I had two teachers and several hours of class every day. In just 8 weeks I improved more than I had in the three years prior. My teachers were very professional and knew exactly what I needed to accomplish my goals. After the 8-week program, I was so impressed that I signed up for another package before it finished. I now feel confident using Chinese to express myself in almost any situation. Silk Mandarin helped me develop the skills I need to use Chinese in daily life, as well as professional life.

I highly recommend Silk Mandarin to anyone who is serious about learning Chinese. They will work with you and fit the course that you need in your schedule, with excellent teachers and resources. More importantly, they will help you develop your Chinese to a level that you need to succeed at whatever your goal is.

Having tried different schools and tuition approaches I find that Silk Mandarin offers a great approach, with experienced actual teachers, that provide not just a structured learning experience but also a wider context to help with the challenge.

Many schools and tutors claim to be qualified and experienced, but this is often not the case. At Silk mandarin all the teachers are qualified and very experienced. In addition there is always a teacher available to fit with any type of schedule that might be needed to fit a busy work schedule.

I follow the private classes at silk mandarin shanghai.
Very good, professional, fun and they have a nice approach how to teach and way of learning ! The location is really central and easy to reach with different transportations. The study material they use is very efficient and clear. Also the support they offer outside the classes is good and they organize many events and have a great online presence and member group with all kinds of benefits that will help you. The teachers are always reachable and approachable in case any questions

After a long time living in China, I decided to start studying Chinese formally - and I'm glad i did with Silk Mandarin!

The course was exactly what i needed, and was taught excellently by Teacher Jackie in a nice small class size. The only downside was during lockdown we had to move to online classes - but even then they did their best in a tough situation!

I would definitely recommend Silk Mandarin to anyone looking to kick-start their Chinese - I have drastically improved not only my reading, writing, speaking & listening, but also my overall understanding of the culture!
