Teacher training student testimonials
“The teacher training classes were great from start to finish and it was a fantastic
experience to share with my team. I really enjoyed the spoken Chinese and Chinese
characters, and there was a good emphasis on motivating students and teaching skills
which is has given me the confidence for teaching Chinese in a practical and fun style.
This course has really shaped me into a better teacher. Thank you Chinese-Zone!“
Vicky Li
Chinese teacher
“The course is very flexible which allowed us to learn the structure and gave us all a
great experience. Our teacher was very professional and extremely patient and friendly,
always helping me to understand those little things I found difficult which really made
it worthwhile. The friendly atmosphere allowed us to exchange our ideas and Chinese
teaching styles, and I will defiantly be recommending Chinese-Zone to my friends and colleagues.“
Lili Zhao
Primary school teacher
“I have been teaching Chinese as a native Chinese speaker the in UK for four years now,
and prior to attending the course I thought I was experienced in teaching Chinese,
however the course put all my knowledge about teaching into a well defined structure
and also helped with new teaching skills and Chinese language knowledge allowing me to
give more efficient lessons for my students.“
