Silk Mandarin's Online Chinese Course

I studied at Silk Mandarin for a year now. All the teachers are great and make lessons engaging. My current teacher, Yanqin 老师, is an exceptional Mandarin teacher. Although our lessons are online, she makes the lesson really engaging and ensures that she relates content to her students’ individual interests, experiences and daily lives. She teaches me difficult content in clear and digestible parts so I can learn and build on that knowledge myself. Doing private lessons allows me to tailor the lesson to learning Mandarin I need in my everyday life, needs and goals. After trying other Mandarin centres in Shanghai, I recommend Silk Mandarin. As an overseas educator myself, I recommend Yanqin 老师. I particularly respect her teaching practices, professionalism and commitment to making learning meaningful for every student. She is passionate, approachable and highly skilled at helping students build both confidence and practical language ability.

I’m on my way to the end of hsk 2, and I feel very confident about how my Chinese has been improving. The best thing about Silk Mandarin is how flexible they are, when building the best and individual plan that fits into our needs! The teachers and staffs are very kind and helpful. I’ve had classes with 3 different teachers and all of them are very professional, matched our speed but at the same time, influences us to practice the more we can. The platform is easy to use, no issues at all, I’ve been loving the experience!

Before finding Silk Mandarin, my learning lacked structure, and I never knew what to study next. I decided to look online for good Chinese schools based in China, which is how I found them on Google. Since joining, my Chinese has improved a lot! Their learning materials for both listening and writing are great. The lessons are perfectly paced and easy for anyone to follow. What surprised me most was their Slow Motion Technique, I really like it, and it has made a massive difference in my journey. On top of that, the staff are all incredibly kind, amazing at their jobs, and truly know what they are doing. Highly recommended!
