Testimonials
“When my girlfriend and I decided to start studying Mandarin, we were
introduced to Binhong Zhang by a mutual friend. Other than going to China for
a language immersion program, studying with Binhong Zhang turned out to be the
best way to study the language. Having no prior knowledge of Mandarin, the lessons
gave me the ability to hold simple conversations within a few months of starting.
My girlfriend, whose first language is Cantonese and who already had a good
understanding of Mandarin, progressed quickly and is now fluent in Mandarin.
Binhong is an intelligent individual and a dedicated Chinese professor. Thanks
to her pleasant manners, her flexible approach and her ability to address my
trickiest questions, Binhong makes Mandarin a very approachable language.”

“I have started studying Mandarin with Xiaoyan from Chinese-Zone in
March; I found her flexible approach very useful and encouraging. In a matter
of a few weeks we could have snippets of conversation in Mandarin. We concentrated
on conversational Mandarin and followed a well structured book for grammar reference,
so that I could become more and more confident. I started to study Mandarin
to be able to speak to our Chinese partners at work and they appreciated my
efforts very much. Thanks to my basic language skills I was able to develop
more complex business relationships based on the understanding of the language
and some aspects of Chinese culture. Xiaoyan is a fantastic teacher because
she is very flexible and is teaching me not only the language but also the differences
between China and European cultures. Now I am so enthusiastic about learning
Mandarin that I want to continue and learn the written language as well.”

“Lili from Chinese-Zone has been teaching me Chinese for the last year.
It's great because I can arrange the timing of classes at my convenience and
study exactly what I want in my way. Lili's knowledge is strong and her pleasant
personality make lessons a pleasure. She always manages to explain things in
a way that I understand and can remember.”

“Zhangyu is a great Chinese teacher! He is always in a good mood and very
patient. So do not worry, you will soon be able to speak Chinese. He has also created
his materials, which is a fabulous support for the lessons. I've been learning
Chinese with him for almost two years now and I definitely recommend him.”
Emmanuel Verkinderen from London
“Binhong is an exceptional teacher. She is highly intelligent, organised,
committed and full of ideas for explaining things. She has a vast knowledge
of Chinese culture, language and society - and speaks perfect English. She is
friendly, adaptable, understanding, encouraging, modest and diligent. She is
highly recommended for any level learner.”
Simon O'Callaghan from Canary Wharf
“I found my lesson very good and useful. Vicky was very informative and
clear and covered a wide range of topics, which are relevant to everyday life.
She was always friendly and was patient whenever I had difficulties. She made
an effort to make sure I understood everything and was able to answer any questions
I had.
Overall I was very satisfied with my teacher and lessons provided”
