Our comprehensive experience in Chinese language instruction uniquely positions us to understand the obstacles to learning Chinese faced by non-native speakers. All of our teachers are native Mandarin and Cantonese speakers and have a minimum of 6 years of Chinese language teaching experience. They have passed the Putonghua Proficiency Test (PSC, the national examination of Standard Mandarin); and have obtained post-graduate degrees in Chinese Language or in Teaching Chinese as a Second Language. We encourage our teachers to think creatively and work closely with our students to explore new approaches to language instruction in order to improve the effectiveness of each program.
