estudado Geral ChinêsSilk Mandarin, Suzhou
I decided to do an intensive course last summer when I couldn't leave the country and wanted something to do. Since then, I haven't looked back! The teachers are friendly and welcoming, and the new office in Dongfangzhimen is very spacious, well-equipped, and has a beautiful view of the city!
Siqin, Suzhou's consultant, is very friendly and helpful. She makes everyone who comes into the Silk Mandarin office feel very welcome.
My teacher Lindsay is well-prepared for my classes and tailors the content to focus on developing my weaker skills. Not only does she thoroughly cover the HSK content, she also adds in extra local knowledge and history to help me better understand Chinese culture.
Apart from the wonderful staff, Silk Mandarin also regularly organise events and activities for students and non-students where you can meet new people and practice your Chinese.

estudado Geral ChinêsA friendly and fun place to learn
I have studied HSK 1 and 2 at Silk Suzhou branch. It's been a great experience, I've improved my Chinese a lot and have become more confident in using it. My teacher Lindsay is very nice and puts a lot of effort to make the classes enjoyable. She often teaches extra material that we might find interesting or useful, such as vocabulary or some everyday idioms. Siqin the CC is always very friendly and welcoming too. It's a great place to study if you want to improve your Chinese quickly.

estudado Cursos sob medida ChinêsA great way to learn Mandarin
I had Christina as a tutor for HSK1 and she was wonderful - I found the lessons to be very engaging and learnt a lot in a short amount of time. I would recommend the course to anyone who wants to learn the basics (and beyond) during their time in China!

estudado Geral ChinêsOutstanding teaching
I started studying at Silk Mandarin for 7 months, starting in mid-June, at the very beginning with HSK1, and am now currently studying HSK5, I have mainly studied the I-30 program, and also the I-20 program for one month.
My teacher Lois, has always been exceptional, carefully guiding me from the beginning of my studies, to now, carefully teaching me vocabulary for the level ahead to make each stage easier and easier. I am incredibly grateful that I have been able to keep the same teacher for all of this time as it has greatly helped speed up my progress. For HSK1, HSK2 and HSK3 level Lois made excellent use of the flash cards and Silk Mandarin talking pen to benefit me, and since starting HSK4 and HSK5 we have been able to use more videos in class, linking to our studies. I have found that my speaking has improved rapidly thanks to my teacher’s first rate techniques. I have always struggled with learning languages before, but thanks to Lois’ guidance and patience I have found learning Chinese a lot more manageable than I expected, I actually find myself a little surprised to be looking forward to each day’s 3 hours of classes. I could not have asked for a better teacher during my time studying at Silk Mandarin, and I plan to keep studying until I complete HSK6.
In my daily life I have found that the extra material covered by my teacher has helped me greatly, with homework tasks that have made excellent use of my opportunities to practice speaking. The whole course is well put together, but it is my teacher, Lois’ extra work and dedication that has really helped me make best use of this opportunity to learn Chinese, for which I am eternally grateful.
The whole school has a nice environment, from Siqin’s friendly greeting, to the whole team together. I have also been fortunate enough to have a couple of classes with Christina, who is also an outstanding teacher. Although I have not had class with Shirely or Hailey I am sure that they are also excellent. If you are looking for a friendly school, that will support you this is the perfect place.

estudado Cursos sob medida ChinêsPersonalized learning with smooth teaching technique
Do not be hesitating if you are considering this school to be your study place. It has a nice approach in terms of learning style as well as personalized study plan. Even if you take regular Chinese HSK 1-6 classes, they will still be made to make sure that your everyday life or work benefits from it. The teachers are nice and friendly all over the place, especially I appreciate my personal tutor Hannah for great patience and professionalism she has for me.

The lessons with Christina were amazing. I really made progress. The lessons follow the hsk programs and are useful in daily life. You will learn things like how to introduce yourself, how to read time, describe your environment, how to order basic things in shops etc...I really appreciated to learn to read and write Chinese characters

estudado Geral ChinêsHsk3 course
I’ve been looking for an institution that not only offers a systematic curriculum but also one that has a good instructor management system. Silk Mandarin I would say, at least based on my wonderful experience with their instructor - Gemini Zhou, has a good management and monitoring system for instructors and thereby has much skilled and respectable instructors. My Chinese skill made much more in past 3 month with Silk Mandarin & Gemini than 9 month with self learning.

estudado Geral ChinêsWonderful school, great teachers
Silk Mandarin is a grest school with a lovely atmosphere and experienced teachers. The content of the lessons is well organised and you are able to make progress rapidly. The school also organises additional events and activities enabling you to meet other students and teachers and use your Chinese outside of the classroom. I really enjoy learning at Silk Mandarin and starting lessons at this school was the best decision I've made since moving to China. Thank you Silk Mandarin!
