TESTIMONIALS:
” After 6 year in China (partly studying), I decided to pass the HSK level 5 to confirm my Chinese level. I studied 4 months with teacher Yang in Mandarin Zone School. She was really great; she gave me a lot of tips to succeed the exam. Yang is very patient. She quickly understood where my weak points are and make me work on it. She teaches me a lot of Chinese typical idioms which have been very helpful to pass the HSK. Last but not least, she knows a lot of things about Chinese culture or event scientific area, so we had very interesting discussion. Since I arrived in China, I had many different teachers and I definitely recommend Mandarin Zone School and especially my teacher! Hope you will enjoy learning Chinese as I do with them! ”
