All the staff were very nice and welcoming, felt like I was at home straught away.
The culture activities (eg. mask painting) and trips (eg. Forbidden city) were fun and safe
Great atmosphere, peaceful and clam, just like home!
This was my first time in Beijing, and I enjoyed it a lot thanks to That's Madarin.
Got picked up from the airport without any inconvenience and the food provided was very good.

I spent four weeks studying at That’s Mandarin. Based on some previous coursework, I started in the HSK 2 class. I realized that this was the correct placement; however, it was still a bit tricky since my classmates and I had various strengths and weaknesses. For example, my reading and vocabulary was sufficient, but my listening and speaking skills were weaker. All of my teachers did a great job balancing this and helped each of us to improve. By the end of the first three weeks, I felt my skills had improved significantly. For the final week, I completed one-on-one classes since there were no other students enrolled in my level. This week was particularly helpful to fill in the gaps of my knowledge and to focus significantly on listening and speaking. Although I’m sure this was particularly frustrating for the teachers, it was a big help for me and helped to increase my confidence to practice speaking more in public. I can see a noticeable improvement in my Chinese skills and would recommend this course to anyone interested in studying Mandarin in China.

I have really enjoyed my studying here at That's Mandarin in Shanghai,China. Before coming here I had a nice free trail class with this school and that's way I decided to fly to Shanghai for the lessons.

I had Laoshi Jiang and Gao who were very professional and good. Gao's strength is rules, great to learn from her.I have been here for two month and will continue to study with TM via Skype.

Enjoyed the environment and hot tea here every day.

How have you changed/grown since working for your current company?

I've learned to work with and manage an international team of excellent marketers. It's been a great challenge working in a bilingual environment and adjusting the cultural norms of working in a Chinese company.

What is the best story you've heard from a return student?

It's great to see China Camp families return each year for another summer camp. The children get bigger but they still come with the same enthusiasm, from all over the world. Just to hear the parents say that their children asked them specifically to come here when they could try and visit other countries is very rewarding.

If you could go on any program that your company offers, which one would you choose and why?

Actually, I signed up for one-on-one Chinese lessons, and find them very useful to building a successful working relationship with my Chinese teammates. I've also had friends from back home sign-up to our online classes to help them get ready for their next trips to China.

What makes your company unique? When were you especially proud of your team?

That's Mandarin is very flexible and fair. We care about our customers and value their feedback. I enjoy seeing the teachers relax with their students between classes and with the kids at summer camp. The atmosphere is unique and I think the student's relationships with the teachers is very harmonious.

What do you believe to be the biggest factor in being a successful company?

12 Years of growth and success largely comes down to how the school is managed. The CEO, Department Managers, Headteachers, and other staff all have the same goals in mind.

The teachers have to go through a lot of training and care about the school's reputation and are motivated to keep our standards high. It also helps that the school has a great modern working environment, which makes it pleasant to come to work each day.
