CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

Course: Chinese for Executive

"I  was apprehensive at the idea of taking Mandarin classes but Chinese Original made it painless and effective. I was impressed by the cutting edge approach and the quality of my teacher. The content was customized to my need and the schedule flexible enough to accommodate my busy work hours. My teacher was very attentive, patient, enthusiastic and diligent. Thanks to her I developed basic conversational skills much faster than I would have thought, and the whole experience turned out to be fun.’"

G. Fonkenell, CEO, Pharo management LLP

"Yalan and her team have been teaching me Mandarin for 10 months.  During that time I have been highly impressed with their abilities as teachers, which have allowed me to make significant progress in speaking, reading and writing the language." 

Catherine McGregor, Managing Editor, Chambers and Partners  

Course: Corporate Training

"We have found Chinese Original to be very professional and helpful and we would have no hesitation in recommending their services.  The language classes are well structured with a pace set appropriate to ability of all participants – which makes all of the difference for us novices!  The classes are interactive and our teacher ensures that the lessons are informative and fun."  

Sarah, Human Resources, China Construction Bank (London) Ltd

Course: Business Chinese

Course: Chinese for Banking and Finance

"Yalan teaches me Business and Financial Mandarin, and I can truthfully say that she is the best language teacher I have ever had. She has the rare combination of proficiency in languages (French, English and Mandarin (taiwanese, mainland chinese)), the ability to teach with the objective of retention and long term mastery of the language, and also knowledge of the relevant subject at hand - in this case, financial mandarin. She is extremely diligent and will often go a step further in meeting my needs as a student. Her easy going but stern teaching method has ensured that I work hard, but enjoy the process of learning Mandarin!"

Esther Chan, Portfolio Manager, Aberdeen Asset Management

"Being a fluent conversational Mandarin speaker, I was initially sceptical about how different business Mandarin would be. However, Chinese Original has brought a whole new language into the conversational Mandarin which I was well versed in. The sessions I had experienced with my trainers were structured but also flexible as I was able to learn the materials which I desired. I hope one day I would be able to converse and/write in a professional manner in advancing my career.’

Course: Chinese for Beginners

"The classes have been very well structured and have made the opening steps of a challenging language accessible. Our teacher's broad teaching knowledge and experience is valuable, as is her ability to accurately identify problems students have as and when they develop. The small class size along with the impetus on communication means a development of an active understanding of the basics of Chinese is possible from the first classes. I am very satisfied with the way the first term has been conducted, and an impressed with the amount of material we have covered in a relatively small period of time." 

Morgan W Stark, University College London, PhD  

‘Chinese Original’s teaching method is to focus on tones and speaking before learning to read and write. Now after 6 weeks I have mastered my tones and as a result I feel very confident about speaking. I am now learning to read and write as well much faster with this strong speaking foundation. Most importantly, Chinese Original training team takes pride and cares about every one of their students. The trainers will never use a ‘one fits all’ approach to the teaching, and always will take the time to think about what will suit each student best.’
