LTL Shanghai

I had the pleasure of studying Mandarin in Shanghai with Jamie and Ray, and I can confidently say they are both excellent and highly competent teachers. Their lessons go far beyond the textbook: they skillfully integrate real-life situations into the curriculum, making the learning experience both practical and engaging. They also take the time to explain important aspects of Chinese culture, which adds great depth to the classes.

The program is quite intensive, but Jamie and Ray are incredibly dedicated to their students. Even though we all started from zero, they paid close attention to our different abilities and learning speeds, ensuring that everyone could keep up and feel supported.

Another thing I truly appreciated is their availability. They are always open to answering questions, even those that go beyond the official program or classroom context. No matter the topic, they are patient, helpful, and genuinely committed to their students’ progress.

I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to learn Mandarin in a serious but supportive and enriching environment.
