Amazing school

Christina and Sherley are amazing teachers and I have become fluent in Chinese thanks to them. It’s a pleasure studying everyday and i actually look forward to it.

The program is systematic and structured and you can learn very high level Chinese. We do reading, writing, speaking and listening and they make sure all skills are taken care of.

It is definitely worth going to this school.

欢迎大家!

对我来说中文很难,然后是越来越容易因为我有几个机会学习和两个那么专业的老师,

以前我自己学习,但是开始上课以后我发现我的水平提高了很快。如果你想认真学习几个学校是完美。

现在我讲中文,做生意和中国人, 都很兴趣!

Silk Mandarin is the best school

I fell in love with Silk Mandarin since my first contact with Coco who is in charge of communication with the students. I found how professional they are and how seriously they take the goal of teaching and helping students to learn. I was amazed by the way they use the blended learning materials which can help so much with self-learning. I did the level 3 one-on-one class online learning with teacher Yanqin. She is so knowledgeable, experienced, professional, and very helpful. Going to class was always super fun. She uses a good mix of grammar, vocabulary, and conversational skills. So far, I feel my Chinese is improving a lot.

I would recommend this course and teacher Yanqin to any Chinese learner. Thanks a lot, Silk Mandarin!

Very satisfied with Silk Mandarin

Before joining Silk Mandarin, I had tried learning Chinese on my own multiple times, but each attempt left me feeling overwhelmed by the complexity of the language. Memorizing characters seemed daunting, and without a clear, structured approach, it quickly became discouraging. Pronunciation was another challenge. Some sounds felt impossible to master, and not getting the tones right was frustrating. Every time, it seemed like I wasn't making any real progress.

I discovered Silk Mandarin while searching for Chinese classes for my son. From the start, I could tell that Silk Mandarin was very serious about their approach, so I decided to take lessons for myself. Given my busy schedule balancing work and home life, I was initially concerned about committing to lessons. However, I really appreciated their flexibility. Silk Mandarin offers tailored plans to fit your needs and schedule, and having one-to-one online classes during my lunch break has been the perfect solution.

Consistency is essential when learning Chinese, and regular lessons with Jane have kept me on track. I began with HSK 2 and am now studying HSK 4, a progress I couldn't have achieved without Jane's support. She’s incredibly patient and always encouraging. Chinese grammar is quite different from Western languages, and I’m grateful that Jane is always available to clarify tricky grammar points.

I also like that lessons often incorporate cultural elements. Silk Mandarin regularly organizes cultural activities and shares cultural information in their WeChat.

I wholeheartedly recommend Silk Mandarin and their teachers. Their personalized approach and commitment to student success have made all the difference in my language learning journey.

Silk Mandarin is really great!

I am pretty much what you would call a hopeless case when it comes to learning new languages, but SilkMandarin has challenged that notion. Their methodology and classes are distinctive from any other centres I've attended - structured, easy to follow, and fun. I find it quite easy to retain a lot of Mandarin words, something that I used to struggle with all the time prior, due to their unique but effective style of teaching. The staff are friendly and helpful, and Evelyn is an amazing teacher whose classes are fun and engaging, with a perfect balance of challenge and encouragement.

Well organised curriculum and supportive staff

I have tried two Chinese learning schools and subscribed to 3 chinese apps before Silk Mandarin. My Mandarin skills I say did not improve significantly. Although I am still a long way from being fluent in Mandarin (because it is really a difficult language to learn), I must say that my knowledge has expanded through Silk Mandarin. The organized curriculum of Silk Mandarin suited me well. The videos and materials available prior to each online class helped me to focus more on my Mandarin learning. The online classes were so engaging and interesting. Teacher Qiying is a good teacher. She is patient and very supportive. Even the staff are very accommodating. I intend to continue my learning with Silk Mandarin until I become fluent in Mandarin.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
I would be more confident and go easy on myself.
Pros
  • Good curriculum
  • Kind and helpful staff
  • Good teacher

Silk Mandarin is the best school to learn Chinese

I began my Chinese language learning journey in 2019 at Silk Mandarin in Shanghai and was initially impressed by the school’s professionalism. When I had to leave China due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Silk Mandarin offered me the flexibility to continue my studies either online or by returning to the school later.

Even though I’m now based in London, I was able to complete my course in a month, thanks to their thoughtful approach and dedication. The combination of expert teachers, flexible scheduling, and personalized lessons made my Chinese learning journey both efficient and enjoyable. Whether you’re learning in Shanghai or studying remotely, I would highly recommend Silk Mandarin for anyone looking to learn Chinese in a fun, interactive, and professional environment.

A big thank you to Amy, Joyce, Christina老师, Hannah老师, Spencer老师, Evelyn老师, and all the other teachers who made this experience so memorable! ❤️

Great experience!

Our teacher is awesome. Yanqin is professional and very supportive. I’ve always been, and still am, struggling with Chinese grammar, but now it starts to look like I’m getting there. Can recommend this school wholeheartedly.

Almost completed my HSK2, and so far everything is great. It’s only two of us in the class, so we get enough time to practice and ask questions.
Before the class, we’re assigned to preview the upcoming lesson, so that we don’t spend too much time learning the new vocabulary and structures during the class, and I find it very efficient.

We also have review lessons to consolidate the target language and grammar.

Pros
  • Great teacher
  • Reasonable price
  • Number of students in class
Cons
  • None so far

Very systematic

I am currently at HSK 2 and the guidance from my teacher is extremely commendable, she is patient with all my doubts and helps me in every step with the best possible ways. I am really glad I got to know about this school. I would really recommend it to beginners for building a solid foundation with all the structured grammar that is delivered in class. It is flexible and also interesting to learn with the videos and audios that are recorded for the lessons. It only makes the study more engaging.
