Excellent Mandarin class

Yanqin is WONDERFUL! She is a well-prepared teacher and is patient. I always leave the lessons with really useful language to practice and to use. Excellent Mandarin class. Much appreciated! :)

Yanqin ist eine sehr tolle Lehrerin. Sie ist immer sehr gut vorbereitet und hat wirklich viel Geduld. Man lernt in jeder Unterrichtsstunde hilfreiche Redewendungen und Begriffe für den Alltag. Der Mandarin Unterricht macht einfach Spaß. Danke für die Unterstützung und schöne gemeinsame Zeit beim Lernen. :)

Learning with Silk has been fantastic

Learning with Silk has been fantastic. Sisi (teacher) and Coco (sales) have been incredibly easy to work with and very helpful. Coco has been very thorough in explaining the different instructions options/pricing and consistently follows up. Sisi is great at clearly explaining language points I may be struggling with and is fun to work with.

My language skills have increased dramatically since beginning my study with Silk. When I speak with Chinese natives, they are frequently surprised at my progression and how much I have in such a short time.

I elected for 1-on-1 teaching sessions, which turned out to be a very good choice. The instruction that I receive is tailored to my specific needs (i.e. less pronunciation, more vocabulary). Also, the flexibility that the 1:1 sessions offer allows me to reschedule as conflicts come up.

Overall, the instruction is high quality and priced fairly.

My fantastic experience with Silkmandarin

During the Shanghai lockdown in 2022 I was searching for a qualified Chinese online school, and luckily I found Silkmandarin. I applied for the HSK1 course and it was an fantastic experience. The learning environment that Silkmandarin can provide on the platform includes very professional, structured online media components for the self learning, in additional the online classroom on the ClassIn platform. Overall, the course is very well designed with tools for a professional, interactive class session environment. Last but not least, a big applause to the professional teachers - they very well align individuals, which brings a very good, motivated atmosphere. The outcomes and results for the students are accordingly at the same high level of quality. I passed HSK2 and preparing now for HSK3. I highly can recommend Silkmandarin.

Flexible and Adaptable

I undertook Chinese classes for a period of three months, and the experience was incredibly beneficial. The classes were tailored to my specific needs, taking into consideration aspects related to my job. This personalized approach added a practical dimension to the learning process, making it directly applicable to my professional context.
A notable feature of the classes was their flexibility. My teacher, Christina, demonstrated a willingness to adapt the schedule and content to accommodate my learning pace and preferences.
I've found my classes at Silk Mandarin Language School really helpful for improving my Chinese. I highly recommend Silk Mandarin Language School to anyone who wants to learn Chinese effectively.

Online Chinese Lessons were Excellent!

I came into Silk Mandarin without knowing much Chinese. And after completing the course, I can definitely see improvements within a short amount of time. My teacher (Christina) answered all of my questions that I had and provided me even with external resources to aid in learning Mandarin. Classin (Teachable) is also a great platform that worked really well.
For an online school, it's very organized and the videos aided with the lessons. Hoping to continue my Mandarin learning journey with Silk Mandarin.

Silk Mandarin Success

I've really enjoyed the one on one experience of learning Mandarin with Catherine at Silk Mandarin.
The resources are great, and cater to many types of learners. Learning tools include slideshows, videos, powerpoints, text books and work books. There is a real variety to help you do your best.
Catherine is always positive and has energy and a kind nature.
I've been able to do the classes as frequently as my schedule allows and am inspired to practice Mandarin in my daily life.
Thank you Silk Mandarin

Great teaching program.

I really liked my teacher Christana. She was so calm but also very direct to where she was going in the teaching and kept the pace .
I liked it very much how she approached the subject professionally and was patient with me. Due to the time difference I was waking up very early to catch the course. So sometimes I was more tired than often before.
I also really liked the extra curricular activities I was able to take online in addition to the private lessons.
Being able to revisit the material again and again to understand it better,
that was great.
