Silk Mandarin - Language Training Institute

Silk Mandarin is a great school for improving natural Chinese.

Silk Mandarin has been such a great school, and Christina has been a wonderful teacher! She has catered my HSK 5 lessons to suit my goals, and often includes discussions about current news or Chinese slang/internet language to supplement the textbook materials. She is always prepared for the lessons and gives interesting writing topics for homework, which she helps review at the beginning of the lesson. I’m very happy with Silk Mandarin’s Chinese lessons, especially since my Chinese level continues to improve!

Exceptional Chinese Learning Experience with Silk Mandarin

I cannot express enough how delighted I am with the outstanding service I've received from Silk Mandarin, particularly from Coco and my dedicated teacher, Qíyǐng. From the moment I initiated contact, Coco has been an unwavering guide, ensuring every step of my learning journey is seamless and tailored to my mobile lifestyle.

Coco's commitment to customer satisfaction is unparalleled. She expertly navigated the process of setting up a trial class, assessing my proficiency level, and personalizing a schedule that suits my needs perfectly. Her flexibility and responsiveness were evident, especially when I transitioned from group to private classes, a change she handled with remarkable smoothness.

I must extend my deepest gratitude to Qíyǐng, my exceptional teacher. Rather than following a generic textbook approach, she invested time in understanding my strengths and areas that required more focus. This personalized approach has significantly enhanced the efficiency of my Chinese language learning journey. Qíyǐng's ability to tailor homework assignments and our live video sessions has been instrumental in my rapid progress.

In essence, Silk Mandarin has exceeded my expectations, and I attribute much of this success to Coco's exceptional support and Qíyǐng's dedicated teaching. Their combined efforts have not only made my learning experience enjoyable but also maximized its effectiveness.

I wholeheartedly recommend Silk Mandarin to anyone seeking a personalized and effective Chinese language learning experience. Thank you, Coco and Qíyǐng, for your invaluable contributions to my language journey.

Online Beginner Mandarin Class was well taught!

I entered the course knowing only a little bind of mandarin, and just completing the course, I can say that it was a very good experience and am more comfortable with speaking and even understanding spoken mandarin then when I first started. I had a lot of questions, and my instructor was available to answer all of my questions that I had.

Excellence and Integrity!

I have been so impressed with my learning experience with Silk Mandarin! The teachers are kind, attentive and knowledgeable and they really care about making sure I truly understand what I’m learning. In addition, the school frequently asks for feedback and takes the feedback received very seriously. I have taken lessons online as I live far from Shanghai, but I was extremely impressed with the quality of the online classes- they were very engaging and interactive. During my experience, I have been very impressed by how much the school and teachers truly care about providing a high-quality and enjoyable learning experience. I have learned so much through my two courses with them and I look forward to continuing my study in the future!

A great place to learn at your own pace!

This is the best place to learn Chinese at your own pace! They have lots of different class options and all of the teachers are excited to help you learn! I highly recommend it for anyone at all levels and will continue to be a student here for many years to come!! My husband and I are in a private blended lesson, with both online and in person classes. We are able to learn so much in only 2 months! It's really incredible and I didn't think it was possible! But with our teacher, we are able to enjoy every milestone of learning a new language!

Learning Chinese over Summer Vacation

There are many class options that allowed us to make the most of our schedule. The class is fast paced, but effective. I can see my growth from the beginning of my time practicing.

Blended Learning- Online

So I took the blended learning class online because I lived in another city and had a busy life schedule. Everything about this program was amazing. I felt heard. Amy took her time creating the perfect schedule for me so that attendance and study were attainable. I actually took both HSK 1 and HSK 2 with Silk Mandarin and both time felt supported. The class sizes are small enough that everyone can practice and the pace of the class is also good. My skill set has improved drastically. I honestly tell everyone I know about this program.

An Amazing Chinese Class!

My experience at Silk Mandarin was fantastic overall. I started classes with them just after finishing HSK 4. I was looking for a full-time program and they were able to adapt to my schedule and set up an 8-week program tailored to my needs. I had two teachers and several hours of class every day. In just 8 weeks I improved more than I had in the three years prior. My teachers were very professional and knew exactly what I needed to accomplish my goals. After the 8-week program, I was so impressed that I signed up for another package before it finished. I now feel confident using Chinese to express myself in almost any situation. Silk Mandarin helped me develop the skills I need to use Chinese in daily life, as well as professional life.

I highly recommend Silk Mandarin to anyone who is serious about learning Chinese. They will work with you and fit the course that you need in your schedule, with excellent teachers and resources. More importantly, they will help you develop your Chinese to a level that you need to succeed at whatever your goal is.

Silk Mandarin Experience

I began learning with Silk Mandarin in July of 2022. I had been living and working in China for around 5 years, but had just been using apps to self study. After reaching a level slightly above HSK3, I found it very difficult to improve with self-study.

Taking the HSK4 course with my teacher, Jessica, I found that my reading, speaking, and listening abilities all improved quickly. Jessica was able to quickly identify my language level and then target learning needs within my zone of proximity to challenge me in ways that would push me to learn, while simultaiously maintaining my engagement and boosting my confidence.

My learning experience was done virtually, but I found the application and learning materials quite useful. Silk Mandarin provided me with a course textbook, workbook, and vocabulary flashcards. The learning app we used during class, Classin, never had any problems, was very user friendly, and the teacher was quite efficient in her abilities to use the technology. What's more, the school produces daily social media posts, as well as host many group events, so even though my courses were online, it was easy to feel as though I was part of the community.

Cannot overstate how happy I've been with my experience!

Fantastic Tailor-Made Courses for Any Chinese Level

Hannah has been helping my colleague and I study HSK5/6-level business Chinese. In just a few months, my Chinese speaking, reading, and writing ability have improved dramatically.

The coursework directly relates to our line of work, and combines a good balance of writing, reading, and speaking. My colleague and I have different areas that need improvement, and our course has been tailored to help both of us with them.

For higher Chinese levels, it's often hard to strike the right balance in terms of difficulty, but Hannah uses/teaches us vocabulary that is easy enough for us to understand while being hard enough to challenge us and help us improve. I feel like I learn something every class without ever feeling lost.
