Program Reviews

I talked to Frank. from beginning all went ok with getting a student visa. I got it in Shanghai. papers were in time and instructions were clear. btw if you want a Multiple entrance visa then need to go through a medical checkup. About studying: the program is about daily life, so quite useful interesting and easy learning. I reckon improvement is very up to your attendance, efforts, quality of your sleep at night and how you do homework, mostly those flash cards with chinese characters. going to apply for the second semester and continue with a higher level special thanks for a cool party on Xmas to everyone at school crew.

It was a good time to study at SN Mandarin.
My teacher Lisa was very good organized and always prepared for each lesson. Within 2 weeks we have study together all the program reffering to HSK 2 exam.
All the staff was very frendly and !!! everyday I was able to drink a good coffee at the office.
Thank you all the staff expecially Lisa and Frank Wu.
I would like to come back . See you maybe next year.

I made a plan of study with the school that I would start an HSK5 course, but when I arrived I was in an HSK4 level class. When I asked to be switched the school was finally forced to admit they have no HSK5 level class. They agreed to give me a refund, but after a week passed I didn't receive it and called the police. I'm out almost 13,000 now and I don't think I'm the first student to have a problem with them.

I've studied at the South and North Mandarin school for 6 month! The course was amazing and i recommend this chinese exprerience to all of my friends who wants study chinese. The school offers different kind of course ( group or individual lessons) in different campus. The school in Hongkou football stadium is small and familiar. The best way to study chinese .

Очень классная школа. Преподаватели очень хорошие, индивидуальный подход к каждому студенту. Группа из 1-3 человек. Помогают сделать визу. Много интересных мероприятий.

Of course i will recommend the sn mandarin school to my friend ,not only because after three months of mandarin course i improve so much my level, but also for the environment i found here.

I think program ,teacher and staff really enjoy my experience. I met nice person, available to support me from a teaching point of you, but especially from a human point. They enjoyed my break and lunchtime, help me with homework, and for every kind of personal information i needed. this let the course easier, I think has been so important stayed in a such friendly and lovely school. This aspect let me study and learn Chinese in a easier way.

SN Mandarin is a fantastic school to Learn Chinese in Shanghai. Shanghai is a crazy city for someone coming from a small town in Canada, and the first few days with Jetlag was pretty harsh on my body and mind. Luckily my teachers and the SN Mandarin admin staff were very nice and helpful when getting me settled in.

I needed extra time to relax before starting my classes and this was no problem with the guys there, they were very flexible with everything. I made so many great new friends and my Chinese improved dramatically compared to my classes in Canada.

I felt an excitement in my stomach everytime I stepped into class :D

Absolutely great location beside Hongkou stadium, I climb there most days. House is like an old villa with garden and coffee maker. They do free trials so drop into them. I had Jane as my teacher for the first month and then Andy they were both really great and my Chinese improved quite a bit. Very homely atmosphere and not like a big business like some other schools actually it reminded me some of primary school

I like the fact that my teacher was young and straight from university. It proved again that young people in the beginning of their career are much more motivated and deal with challenge better then their older settled down colleagues. Always very well prepared with no nonsense vocabulary and lessons but only down to the point stuff. I will continue my classes here. Good invested money if you really want to do something about your Chinese.
