Program Reviews

Classes are small so you can get good feedback and help with your mistakes. location within the city is very good and very easily reachable. Programs are being organized by the school frequently that you can attend after class if you want to. Communication about classes is very easy. The classes are very focused on the official HSK books so it's good to take them if you want to pass the exams. The focus is equally distributed on vocabulary, grammar and speaking and any difficulties can be reviewed.

I am truly happy to have achieved HSK Level 5 within just three months.
At first, it felt overwhelming, but thanks to the structured guidance from the teachers and their detailed support in addressing my weaknesses, I was able to improve rapidly. In particular, the personalized feedback and consistent guidance made a significant difference.

Studying alongside other students in a supportive and motivating environment also helped me stay focused and encouraged throughout the process.

I highly recommend this academy to anyone who wants to study chinese and achieve solid results in a short time!

I am currently a student at this school and I really enjoy going there. The school is located near the Centre and easy to reach by subway . The teachers are really nice and we always have fun while learning a lot during our classes with Crystal, one of the teachers. It doesn’t matter if you are a beginner or if you already know some words, the class is for everyone and it’s always fun to learn new words together. In addition, the school organises events for example one where you can learn tai chi.

I had a wonderful teacher who taught me a lot about the language and the culture. Every lesson was engaging and easy to follow. Each month there was an activity that was organized by the school. I 100% recommend this school for learning chinese. Additionally I was able to find a lot of connections and friends through this program. Every member of the schools team was very kind and supportive. Each lessons follows with a small homework that helps you to memorize characters and words. During the lessons you are able to speak a lot which improves your skills greatly.

And want to come again. I started my classes from the beginner level and attended lectures for 1.5 months. I arrived on a student visa. The school provides the necessary documents for it in advance and there were no problems. It helps you with any question by email, and also upon arrival in the office they are always happy to help you

Their employee Elizabeth helped me with any question. Since it was my first visit to China, this was valuable. She was in touch with me first by email, and then by WeChat.
And I could always contact her in the school office as well.She helped very carefully, with attention to details

The location of the school is ideal - 15 minutes walk from Nanjing street and 5 minutes from the metro. At first we were in the building, which is located 10 minutes from the metro, but the number of students in the class increased and we changed the building and the room to a larger one. The school has free wifi

There are delicious food places nearby. I also miss steamed dumplings in one of them:)) Our teacher Linda explained everything very clearly and with interesting examples, she is a professional in her field.

Special thanks to the director of the school Frank, who is interested in each student and tries to help everyone himself. And thanks to the school, my impressions of the city were more interesting and more authentic. We had a tea meditation and a master class on making traditional sweets.Thank you SN Mandarin!

I have had an exceptional experience at this North South Mandarin language school. The quality of teaching is outstanding, and I’ve made significant progress in my studies. A special thank you to Lisa and Frank for their incredible support and dedication.

Lisa has been incredibly helpful throughout my learning journey. She is always patient, approachable, and quick to offer assistance whenever needed. Her guidance has made a huge difference.

Frank, the director, brings a wealth of knowledge and professionalism to the school. His leadership is evident in the overall structure and quality of the courses. Frank is always available to offer advice or answer questions, and his commitment to creating a positive learning environment is truly appreciated.

Overall, I highly recommend this school to anyone looking to learn Chinese. With such a dedicated team like Lisa and Frank and all the teachers you are in excellent hands.

I have studied at SN Mandarin for 3.5 months, and I’m very satisfied. The teachers are very kind and helpful. The school has a welcoming atmosphere, and is very centrally located. When I wanted to make changes regarding my lesson schedule, the school was very helpful and understanding. All desired changes were implemented, and I felt like the school gave their everything to give me the best time. I felt welcome from the start! The accommodation that the school arranged for me was very good as well, although it was quite expensive. I can recommend SN Mandarin to anyone!

I made immense progress in my 9mo with this school. I really liked my teacher Adam's easy and concise explanations, the tidbits of Chinese history and culture, the stories behind the 汉字 etc. Also, my class was online but the set-up was easy, minor problems were quickly resolved by the headmaster and the atmosphere in class was nice!
The materials were provided to us via online-class, email and post (books). SN hires qualified teachers and takes their reputation seriously. I would recommend them and would like to take classes with Adam again in the future!

This company really offers great 1 on 1 Chinese training. I was with them for a short 4 months course where I was going from HSK 3 to HSK 4 and it helped me significantly with getting pass that barrier. I now can confidently speak Chinese and only occassionally need the dictionary. They really do well on encouraging you to talk freely and improve your grammar vocabulary enough to do so. Anyone going to Shanghai, I highly recommend their 1-on-1 course for 15 or more hours per week as you would be able to get the most value out of your course this way.

My Teacher is nice and jolly, usually I feel bored learning but thanks to him learning was enjoyable.
He also good at handling a slow learner person like me.
Also the best part is the class schedule is flexible and depends on your availability. They also support students individual capability to pay - for me they arranged flexible payments that I can afford monthly. Thanks SN Mandarin. They have high excellent standards in teaching.
I am happy to learn Chinese in your school and will continue to learn to improve my level.
