“After two years learning in a bigger Mandarin school I decided to choose Silk Mandarin for my further lessons. I was excited regarding the differences to my old school. And I was very surprised regarding the learning success. Then even after only some lessons, the improvement of my spoken Chinese was enormous. They only have very experienced full-time teachers which using advanced teaching methods The teaching books are up to date and not so old-fashioned like at my old school. And because the school is still not so big the atmosphere there is very familiar. So all in all the right choice for myself.”

At Silk Mandarin I definitely found the best teachers so far. They are very competent, patient and always in a good mood. Thanks to them not only my speaking, but also my reading skills improved a lot. I can only say good things about Silk Mandarin and would definitely recommend this school to anyone who wants to learn Chinese!

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!

Having studied in many language schools in different countries during my life gives me the confidence to say that Silk Mandarin stands out from other schools for different reasons. The foundation is made of enthusiastic and friendly people that are always encouraging our learning process; then it’s noticeable how they are really motivated in making us learn through different approaches, not only by using books, but offering their own material like flashcards, talking pens, customised apps and even SMS groups to keep us constantly engaged; and finally, their openness in asking for feedback is legitimate and they will always try to improve our experience with tailored classes, according to our needs, in the best way possible.

I’ve been living in Shanghai for over five years and tried many different schools. At Silk Mandarin I’ve had the best experience by far and always recommend it to my friends that need a place to study Chinese. They make it fun, they care about your learning, and it works… I started around HSK 2/3 level and am now 6. Have introduced many beginners also who loved it and still go many months after starting.

At Silk Mandarin, I found the right teacher. The teachers are qualified, motivated and always in a good mood. The atmosphere in the class is really refreshing, that’s why I really like to take lessons there. Thanks to Silk Mandarin I now can engage in a real conversation with my Chinese friends, that’s such a great feeling!

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!!

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.
