“I have been learning Chinese with many different schools and teachers and Silk Mandarin is the best so far. The teachers are patient and always encourage me to speak Chinese and the prices are very competitive.”

“Before starting to learn with Silk Mandarin, I got one private teacher but I didn’t improve a lot. Now after 3 months and a half, I can read, write and speak. Their methods to teach Chinese are really funny and dedicate to each classmate. Thanks Silk Mandarin!”

“The learning environment, great atmosphere and ‘family-feel’ of the school is why I love to go to class each time, even after a long day in the office!”

“Upon entering the school the motto says “More Than Just Talking!”, which made me think most Chinese schools would say this plus initially I found them on a map app. Honestly, the space is quaint, comfortable and staff is very personable. Final decision to join came after taking a level assessment and them expertly finding my level to help push and support me. Still figuring out what “More than just talking!” means but most definitely feel a better connection using the language with their patient and earnest effort for my development. Highly recommend to join, my suggestion is to let them know your personality and best way to learn, then they can correctly accommodate your speed of learning. It’s a safe environment!”

“I’m very happy with my class, I’m learning all aspects of Chinese language, from talking to writing at the same time. They always try to adapt the class as much as possible and are doing an extra effort to find ways to improve my skills.”

“Silk Mandarin has excellent teachers that are both professional and proficient. Realizing that it takes more than a Mandarin speaker for you to learn the language is your first step in learning. Your second step is to sign on to Silk Mandarin.”

Over the last few years I have tried over 5 different Mandarin schools and found that Silk Mandarin is by far the best. What I find intresting about Silk Mandarin is that they seek to constantly improve their teaching methodology, something very different from any other Mandarin school I have encountered so far. The teachers and the management are all extremely involved and passionate about teaching Chinese: it really is something special. After two years of Silk Mandarin part time studies and no prior experience of studying Mandarin, I am now about to start with HSK5 classes. I would not have expected to improve my Mandarin this quick. This school is really something special and I have (successfully) recommended it to many friends in Shanghai who are now also fixed customers.

“I tried 4 different Chinese teachers before finally choosing Silk Mandarin for their knowledgeable teachers, family-oriented hospitality, and experienced approach to teaching.”
