Silk Mandarin Class Online

I highly recommend this language program. I work full time and lead a busy schedule. but their online platform is very convenient. I just happen to be the only one in class so it's a bonus that I get one on one teaching. The program is very flexible and meets my needs greatly. It is value for its money. I just completed HSK 2 and I'm onto HSK 3. The online videos of one instructor I can do without, but I like the format of the new vocabulary, grammar and listening modules. My instructor is very professional, knowleagable and understands my learning needs and strenghts. Class in online platform is very easy to use. I have it on my phone, ipad and computer so I can study anytime and anywhere.

A great learning environment for Chinese study

Living and working in China, I wanted to study Chinese in a setting that felt both friendly and professional, and Silk Mandarin has been exactly that. My two teachers, Jane for HSK 1 and Hannah for HSK 2, have both been wonderful—so supportive and encouraging throughout. The classes strike a good balance: challenging enough to keep progressing, but always structured in a way that feels clear and easy to follow. Everyone at Silk Mandarin is very welcoming, and I genuinely look forward to every class.

Amazing Learning Experience

In the past, I had many schools/resources to study Chinese and I can say that Silk Mandarin is the best one without a doubt. I got study both in-person and online and the staff is very friendly and amazing. There are several options to choose from. Whether you want to study part-time or do I full immersion program, they have it. Also, they supply the physical textbook, and language learning app.

If you are looking to start learning or improve your Chinese, I highly recommend this school. Happy Learning!

Silk Mandarin Review

I have just completed HSK 1 level Chinese training at Silk Mandarin and can highly recommend this language school. Their blended learning concept, that combines onsite and online live classes with online self-studying modules is ideal and provides a high degree of flexibility. My teacher, Christina, is highly qualified, friendly and patient. The school provides great service. Upon first contact, they will assess your language skills and provide fully customized class options to you. If you want to learn Chinese, sign up at Silk Mandarin!

Great experience

I had a great experience with Silk Mandarin in Shanghai during two weeks in March of year 2026. In this two weeks of classes I was able to cover a huge amount of material of HSK3. Their slow Chinese system is very good. The teacher was first class and the staff very responsive and efficient. Highly recommendable for intermediate students looking to improve their skills with on hand learning while enjoying this wonderful city. Not many people speak Chinese so you practice on the street every time you go out.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
Take a lesson each day instead of packing many in a day.
Pros
  • Good teachers
  • Helpful staff
  • Great location

High quality teaching and materials

The resources and materials are amazing. Very helpful online videos and the teachers are extremely attentive with polished lessons.

Ive found it very easy to start learning and you are given much help in order to succeed.

Overall im very satisfied with the service :)

Efficient way of learning

I have been learning Chinese for almost 2 years and was looking for a different way to practice to bring a bit of novelty into my learning method.

Silk mandarin helped me organizing my way of learning through efficient preview/review exercises. I like the idea of learning stuff on my own first and then getting to use it with the teacher.

I have been studying with a really good teacher that is both encouraging and fun. Would recommend this company for efficient learning. Group classes is a good way to meet new people too.

What would you improve about this program?
Give opportunity for classes on week ends
