I was looking for a good Chinese language school & I'm glad I chose Silk Mandarin. My teacher Nina has been such a good teacher. She made Chinese grammar & vocabulary easy & fun to learn. Plus, every one-on-one session have been optimized to get as much value as possible in 2h, I really appreciate it! The school has also been very flexible on adjusting my schedule & I was able to made last minute changes without any issues. Every one at Silk Mandarin has been really nice & helpful.

studierte Allgemeines ChinesischSilk Mandarin, je vous aime
Après 3 mois de cours intensifs hsk3-4 (3h chaque matin), c'est indéniable, mon niveau a progressé, je suis plus relax quand je parle et j'ai moins peur de communiquer avec des inconnus. Je suis ravie et soulagée d'avoir choisi cette école, l'équipe est vraiment sympa et chaleureuse, ils organisent des évènements, ont toujours quelqu'un pour accueillir les étudiants à leur arrivée à Shanghai, ce n'est pas évident de s'installer en Chine! Mais ils sont là pour nous rendre tous les services utiles qu'on ne comprend pas au début... Qu'est-ce que j'aurais galéré sans l'aide de Coco <3 qui s'est déplacée un dimanche pour m'aider à ouvrir un compte, acheter une carte sim, et nombreuses autres choses. Ma prof Jane <3 s'est adaptée à mes difficultés et est sensible aux besoins de chaque élève tout en étant juste assez exigeante pour être sure de notre progrès. Je n'ai aucune envie d'arrêter les cours avec eux parcequ'on s'y sent bien, dans cette école!

studierte Chinesisch onlinePro in Mandarin teaching
Hello to all of you, 大家好
As a Ph.D. student in Shenzhen, China, I enrolled in Silk Mandarin's online HSK 1 course and was thoroughly impressed by their teaching methodology. Under the guidance of my instructor, Christiana, and with the support of CoCo, a dedicated staff member from Silk Mandarin, their "slow motion" technique simplified complex concepts, making Mandarin more accessible.
The flexibility of the online platform accommodated my research commitments, while Christiana's expertise and CoCo's assistance significantly enhanced my learning experience. I highly recommend Silk Mandarin to anyone looking to master Chinese effectively and efficiently.
谢谢你们 (Thank you!)

studierte Maßgeschneiderte Chinesisch KurseVery good Chinese School - Silk Manadarin
I have studied with Silk Mandarin for a few months now. Teacher Sherley helped me successfully pass HSK3, and we are now working on HSK 4.
Admin Coco and teacher Sherley have been very accommodating and doing their best to be flexible with the schedule. The classes are fun, interactive, and very well-adjusted to my needs and pace. The method is very good, accessible, and approachable. Very professional staff. I recommend it to anyone who wants to study Chinese!

studierte Chinesisch onlineAwsome experence at Silk Mandrine!
Mandarin Chinese is a very distant language from my mother tongue. After nearly two years of weekly classes, I struggled to construct long sentences. My writing and listening improved, but I needed help to express more complex and informative ideas.
I was looking for a school, and a friend recommended Silk Mandarin to me as she has been a student for the last two years at their school and praised the high standards and enthusiasm of the teachers. After contacting one of their staff members, I quickly understood that Silk Mandarin was a well-organised school with various teaching plans that could be rapidly adapted to my schedule. The one-on-one class perfectly matched my preferences, and the online platform provided all the material to study at my own pace outside of class hours.
Silk Mandarin made a massive difference in my daily learning of the Chinese language. The school provided me with listening, audio, and visual material beforehand to prepare for each lesson. Following the class, the teacher adapted each homework according to my progression with an efficient review for me to understand my mistakes. Furthermore, the teacher was always available to answer my questions and inquiries.
One of the most surprising experiences was the online teaching. I was initially sceptical about having one-on-one teaching lessons entirely online. On the contrary, the online platform allowed unique learning tools, which enhanced the overall quality of the teaching. Another aspect was the teaching methodology of the Slow-Motion Technique. As I always had difficulty in Chinese to organise sentences grammatically, the Slow-Motion Technique set the guidelines to establish the order of each character. With the excellent methodology provided by my teacher, it is far easier for me to learn and understand the Chinese language.
I strongly recommend Silk Mandarin for any student wishing to improve their language skills, succeed in standardised HSK examinations, or have their first experience with Mandarin Chinese. I guarantee it will open a whole new world of knowledge and opportunities.

studierte Maßgeschneiderte Chinesisch KurseLearning with Silk Mandarin is fun and efficient
Learning with Silk Mandarin is fun and efficient. Everybody is very friendly and accommodating. I had studied Mandarin before and before starting with Silk Mandarin they had me do some quick tests to find the right level class. I started with an intensive three-week summer programme, which was great for boosting my Mandarin after a longer break. Since then, I have continued studying one on one.
I like to walk to school in the mornings but I can also schedule online classes when I am not in Shanghai. The classes are fitted to my personal schedule and progress - learning one on one has helped me fresh up my Mandarin and cut down on common mistakes I made before. The extra learning material online and through social media is much appreciated - as well as homework assignments to practice and review in between classes.
