How is your teaching method different from others?

Teacher & Consul of Spain

We have given priority to helping you first grasp the basic oral skills of speaking Chinese. You will find that this is an effective and rapid method to learn Mandarin.

Our method is built upon sound linguistic principles and many years of research and teaching experience. We INTEGRATE all language skills (speaking, listening, reading & writing). Our teaching method makes use of all the personal resources and sense perceptions of an individual. We teach the whole body to learn and produce the Chinese language. Instead of being lectured, students experience the language.

We use songs, dances, dramas, movies, games, and competitions to give you a fascinating learning experience!

Will you guarantee my success in mastering Mandarin?

Your success is our success. Each individual learns differently. Statistics indicate that over 85% of foreign Mandarin learners fail to achieve basic proficiency. Modern Mandarin's teaching approach is developed to make your learning easy, effective and enjoyable. We provide various learning tips on how to be a better Mandarin learner, our focus is on learning results. We offer Quality Control and Performance Monitoring services, which use progress reports (including student's progress, weaknesses, strengths, level achieved) in every lesson to continuously monitor the course quality and ensure your needs are being met. With Modern Mandarin, your progress is measurable and observable.

Feedback from a student:

Children's Course

I find Aileen Shen to be really senior in the way she teaches Mandarin. Her professional approach is impeccable; her level of English is excellent. Aileen makes her classes interesting and challenging, one does never feel bored, only positively exhausted afterwards. Thumbs up!
