Program Reviews

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

Taking a Chinese course at Silk Mandarin has been a very rewarding experience for me. I have not only improved my language skills but also gained more confidence using Chinese in daily life. The teachers are patient, encouraging, and truly dedicated to helping students learn. What makes the experience even better is how kind and helpful all the staff are — always friendly, supportive, and welcoming. It’s truly a great environment to learn and grow. I absolutely recommend this program to my friends and colleagues.

The atmosphere during our Chinese classes with Christina always was warm and pleasant. She is professional and caring teacher, absolutely recommend the school . I enjoyed every lesson we had and have improved my Chinese a lot . Planning to continue keep learning Chinese in the near future. I haven’t had any issues or negative experiences during the learning process, each our class has always been very supportive , positive and helpful . Hope each student will take maximum effort to achieve what they wish. Thank you for your hard work

Good structured lessons with lots of resources online and a supportive team available to help. Helpful with real life videos as well as continuous help and review with tones and pronunciation. Able to access resources any time. Classes focus on communication and also include learning and immersion with parts of Chinese culture. Teachers with lots of experience of years. Team are very friendly and approachable and are avaliable on WeChat to aid at any time if you have any problems. Would recommend to a friend.

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.

I also found the price to be very competitive.

I have been learning at a steady pace with much support. I have received support constantly before purchase and after my course. The staff are very attentive and accommodate time differences very well.

Overall im very satisfied with the service :)

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.
