very good experience

Sep 24, 2013

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.

What would you improve about this program?
The only tip I would give to the school and teachers is to focus more on revue even if that means moving forward more slowly. It is a lot of vocabulary that needs time and practice to be really settled down. And there is no better revue than conversation with your teacher over and over.

Flexible courses, good teaching

Aug 9, 2013

I have been studying at SN Mandarin for a few years now, and I am very happy about the following:
- Course structure and hours are quite flexible, which is definitely an advantage to those working a hectic schedule like myself.
- The teachers are well-trained and responsive to the students' suggestions on how to improve their learning experience.
- Office staff are friendly and helpful, and have taken care of my visa (both 6- and 12-month) without any problems so far.
Very good school overall.

What would you improve about this program?
To an extent, I agree with the above poster about occasions to socialize, but there have been more social events recently and hopefully they will keep this up (I also tend to sleep too late to turn up for excursions, so I'm not really in a position to complain ;) ).

Very good chinese course

Aug 4, 2013

I'm a following this course with my girlfriend since June and I have to say that we really progressed a lot in so short time.
Our teacher is very qualified and she knows how to explain Chinese grammar and pronunciation.
This course is very complete.
We are following the 6 months course and they have arranged our visa without problems.
After trying several schools this one has a very good level.

What would you improve about this program?
They should organize more often some extra activities, to have the possibility to know more students and to practice more Chinese outside of classroom.
