Although I have only been studying at LTL Chengdu for 8 days so far, my experience with the school actually began long before I arrived in China.
From the very first email I sent to enquire about the programme, the team was incredibly responsive, helpful, and professional. Despite the time zone differences, they always replied quickly, kindly, and with all the information I needed. They also helped me understand the visa process and the documentation required for my trip, which made preparing for my stay much less stressful.
What has impressed me most is the quality of the people at LTL. Every member of staff I have met has been polite, knowledgeable, and highly professional. Many have international experience, both teaching foreign students and working abroad, which creates a welcoming environment for students from all over the world. The management team and teachers are exceptionally organised, and everything runs smoothly and on time.
The learning experience extends far beyond the classroom. LTL regularly organises social and cultural activities where students can meet, practise Chinese, exchange ideas, and learn more about Chinese culture. These activities are not only educational but also a lot of fun. They have given me the opportunity to meet people from different countries, share experiences, and build new friendships.
Another aspect I really appreciate is the practical support provided by the school. As someone arriving in China for the first time, there were many things I did not know, from payment methods and useful apps to ordering food and navigating daily life. The staff were always happy to explain these things and help me become more comfortable and independent in my new environment.
My teacher Juan Tang deserves special recognition. I am essentially starting from the beginning with my Mandarin, and she has shown incredible patience throughout the learning process. She answers every question thoroughly and always provides multiple examples to ensure I fully understand how to use new words and phrases correctly. Her teaching style is clear, engaging, and encouraging, and I genuinely look forward to every lesson. From speaking and pronunciation to vocabulary and character writing, I feel that I am making progress every day.
The school itself is also located in a fantastic area. It is situated in a modern building with excellent facilities nearby, including cafés, restaurants, places to relax, and even a gym. The location is convenient, pleasant, and makes coming to class each day something I genuinely enjoy.
Perhaps what stands out most about LTL is the friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Students and teachers alike share knowledge, experiences, cultures, ideas, and, of course, plenty of jokes and laughter. It creates a community where learning feels natural and enjoyable.
Based on my experience so far, I can already say that choosing LTL Chengdu was an excellent decision. I am thoroughly enjoying my time here and can confidently say that I am already looking forward to returning next year.
I strongly recommend LoPair for an experience as an au pair in China!
The staff has always been helpful whenever i had questions, and they were extremely supportive throughout my experience.
Not only is this an amazing opportunity to learn more about the culture, history and traditions of the country, but it’s also an excellent way to learn Chinese and make new friends.
Every month the staff will also plan a cultural activity for all au pairs, giving us the chance to try different crafts and meet up together.
