Over more than three years, I have much enjoyed taking ‘Zoom’ classes with China Institute, both on a group class basis and with private language tutors. I would like to especially praise China Institute’s Chinese language private tutor program, both for its very well-run organisation and its outstanding individual tutors. My tutor were all excellent technically and also highly personable, a combination that has helped me immensely in trying to learn the Chinese language. For me, the use of a private tutor, even at its greater hourly cost, has actually proved to be most efficient or my learning process. I very much appreciate being able to ask questions and seek clarification as needed, and to have my tones and pronunciation corrected on the spot, instead of being swept along by a standard course outline and the need to ‘just get on with it’ for the sake of the rest of the class. Thank you China Institute and your marvellous tutors, for allowing me to learn this wonderful language in a way thatt is both pleasurable and productive.
Having a private tutoring session with Charlene Wang is the highlight of my week. Before learning about this private tutoring option at the China Institute, I attended Chinese school classes and tried learning on my own. For me, the personalised learning possible with a one-on-one tutor makes a tremendous difference. Each student brings his own particular language needs and goals which can’t always be met in a classroom setting. Learning a foreign language is more than increasing one’s vocabulary and understanding the rules of grammar. It should include and understanding of the culture which is an inherent part of any language. Through my private tutoring sessions, Charlene has given me insight into many aspects of Chinese culture. I cannot imagine a more rewarding way to learn a new language.
I have only recently begun taking Zoom classes with Shown Pan. I must admit that I initially felt skeptical about taking language classes online after having taken in-person classes with Shown Pan for close to 2 years. However, I discovered after only 3 sessions that it is an equally rich experience as taking in-person classes. In fact, the online format is equally personalised, and with even more private reviews and exercises. The online structure encourages even more listening and transcription exercises, which I would do on my own at home, and they are later reviewed in depth during the Zoom classes. In addition, Shown Pan provides me up-to-the-minute class notes to my specific grammar questions while on Zoom, a feature which I have found extremely helpful (as I oftentimes cannot make heads or tails of my own notes which I take during in-person classes!) I would highly recommend Zoom classes to existing students, especially to those who might be skeptical about them!

Our 14-year-old daughter has been taking lessons from the China Institute for the past year. She really looks forward to working with her tutor who is experienced, engaging, and incredibly friendly. He works with my daughter twice a week and designs lessons that are tailored and customised specifically for her. She has learned so much from him and her Mandarin continues to improve by leaps and bounds. She is very proud of her proficiency and really appreciated the support her tutor provides. He builds up her confidence and gives her a tremendous sense of pride. We really appreciate the China Institute and plan to continue our private tutoring for years to come.
China Institute spent a lot of time ‘match-making’ to pair my 13-year-old child with an experienced teacher who is the right fit for her. Her private on-on-one lessons are tailor-made to accommodate her strengths and weaknesses and her style and pace of learning. The teachers prepared so much materials before each class to make Mandarin fun for my daughter to learn, whether it is hearing, pronouncing, speaking or writing. Mandarin is the 4th foreign language my child is studying and she believes it to be the world’s most difficult language to master. He teachers are patient, caring and dedicated who always have a lot of encouraging words that motivate my teenager to keep trying. I cannot thank her teachers enough for the strong foundation of Mandarin Chinese that she has and will continue to have.
