I spent 1 year working in China in the Investment sector. Silk Mandarin has been of great help for me to succeed in passing both HSK 3 and Jiao Tong Daxue exams. More than this, the lessons were designed so I could tackle interesting subjects and discover them at my pace. The teachers helped me to reach my objectives with creativity, patience and a lot of enthusiasm!

I have studied in two other Mandarin schools (one being in Shanghai as well) and Silk Mandarin is by far the best!!! They offer the best classes, very fun and dynamic, great teachers plus the super friendly staff!! They truly make you feel at home!! I once asked for the students to have more contact with the Chinese culture, and now, every Friday we have culture classes, and they are awesome!!! You can feel that they really care about the students and making them learn as fast as possible! I can already feel the difference in my Mandarin even with just a few classes!!! I would 100% recommend to everyone!!

Silk Mandarin is the first language school I’m taking classes at, and for sure the best one. The school is located ideally in the center of Shanghai and in a new building, therefore the classrooms are perfectly equipped and the environment is nice.

Everyone is very welcoming and while enjoying some food or drinks (offered by Silk Mandarin) there’s the opportunity to meet new people who are living the same life as you, alone in a new city on the other side of the planet.

I’ve been here for 2 months now, and I can already say that Silk Mandarin made my life so much easier in China; I can already make myself clear when going grocery shopping or when ordering food in a restaurant.

If I had to do this again, for sure I will do it exactly the same. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to learn your beautiful language Silk Mandarin!

“The teachers are not only very professional but also able to mix fun and learning at the same time. They follow their own scheme and structure for each class, and there is always a positive outcome. The precise and correct method allows you to reach your final goal. I have improved my Chinese level at a very fast pace and I can definitely say that in one month in silk mandarin I have learned more than I would ever expect before. Thank you 老师!!”

A friend of mine, who studied at Silk Mandarin before, highly recommended me this school when I told her that I want to learn Mandarin. I got in touch with Amy who promptly replied to my inquiry and helped me so well with finding the right course and accommodation. Furthermore, she helped me a lot with a VISA issue I had and smoothly coordinated the airport pick up in Shanghai.

When I arrived at the school (which is located on the 6th floor of a top modern skyscraper) l was warmly welcomed by everyone and amazed by the very clean and well-equipped school.
I had 80 hours of 1 on 1 private lessons with Andy who is honestly the best language teacher I’ve ever had (I’ve studied 4 languages before). With her you can laugh and learn a lot at the same time. Especially when you have difficulties to learn the Chinese characters, she can always make up a story how to remember them.

In general, everyone at the school encourages you all the time to speak Mandarin as much as possible. There are even talking corners during the weeks where teachers and students meet to practice their speaking, and this all for free! Every Friday there is a free time activity where the school organizes something such as pottery class, mahjong or a Chinese food tasting.

I want to thank the whole Silk Mandarin Team for such an unforgettable time I had with you. I will recommend you to anyone out there who wants to learn Mandarin in a fun and very efficient way.

One of the friendliest atmospheres of any language school that I’ve attended. Teachers and staff are personable and welcoming and offer a great environment to hang out and casually practice Chinese outside of class. I’ve been taking 1 on 1 classes for a few months now and my experience has been nothing short of excellent. My teacher, Yanqin, has not only been a great instructor but also has a fun (and patient!) personality. Under her tutelage, my Chinese has improved considerably and most importantly my understanding of China and its unique cultural heritage has been deeply enriched. For anyone with a busy work schedule considering taking Chinese classes, Silk Mandarin couldn’t be a better choice. Flexibility of teachers and staff and homey environment make Silk Mandarin a fun and engaging place to learn and improve your Chinese.

I have no bad word about this language school. The office building is very clean and new, unlimited coffee, tea and water (sometimes we even get food like Tony Chocolonely and fruit mmm), very warming atmosphere, professional, kind and patient teachers and very good study material (love the magic pen and flashcards, it helps you a lot and it’s a fun way to learn Mandarin). My teacher Jessica is absolutely sweet to her students! Her lessons are very efficient and fun. I don’t regret my choice at all. Two friends of mine took lessons here before me and recommended it to me. I recommended it to my exchange group and now there are 8 students from my group at Silk Mandarin and everyone is very satisfied. I would like to say a huuuge 谢谢 .

I couldn’t be happier to have chosen Silk Mandarin as my Chinese School. The entire team is very friendly and supportive. My one-on-one lectures are fun, very interactive and the learning techniques multifaceted. I highly recommend this school!
