Best Chinese Classes In Vancouver Near Me

Tiffany Hui: I have learned Mandarin with Winnie for 2 years now.Winnie is incredibly patient, kind and wise; she always finds ways to bring interesting cultural connections beyond the textbook. Her passion to teach is undeniable, as she often spends extra time after classes to explain different concepts, or tell stories in Mandarin.Within 2 years, I have learned to read, write and listen at HSK level 5. It takes consistency and lots of work (which isn't easy all the time)- but Winnie makes learning this beautiful language very enjoyable!

Shyah YZ: Zhuo Chinese school has allowed me to grasp a understanding of Mandarin. In less than a year I'm confident enough to type and speak basic sentences.They are personable teachers who encourage you to try hard while having fun.

Kyla Yin James: Winne is an amazing and knowledgable Chinese teacher who knows how to adapt her lessons to each student. I grew up speaking Chinese but had little to no ability to read and write. Through my lessons I learned so much about the mechanics and history of Mandarin. The daunting task of learning to read and write characters became fun and manageable with Winnie's lesson plans.

Mark Masterton: Zhuo Chinese School is a fantastic place to learn Mandarin Chinese. Teacher Winnie is a fantastic, experienced and thorough teacher, (not to mention a lovely person) and the 1-to-1 lessons I took with her flew by in no time. In the space of just a few weeks my pronunciation of tones, my retention of Chinese characters, and my writing had improved significantly. I would strongly recommend Mandarin learners of all levels, from Beginner through to Advanced, to try out Zhuo Chinese School if they want to take their Chinese to the next level.

Arielle B: I’m be been with more than a few mandarin tutors, but Winnie has been the best I’ve had. She provided me with a curriculum and structure that allowed me to go from knowing a few words to Being able to have a basic level of conversational Mandarin in less than a year. Her fun teaching style is something that kept me wanting to learn and grow as a Mandarin speaker and helped me gain a foothold in the language.

E Chow: After about six months of weekly lessons with Winnie (starting from a beginner's level), we tried out a HSK 2 sample exam. I was encouraged to find it fairly easy. My classmate and I both achieved over 90%. We didn't do any special review, just the weekly lessons and homework (you must do some homework ;D). I appreciate Winnie's well-paced instruction and friendly approach to learning, as well as learning tidbits of Chinese culture from her. I look forward to continued growth and more fun times! Xièxie, Winnie lǎo shī!

ru bikikoro: Winnie is a fantastic teacher! My Mandarin improved tremendously due to her teaching. She gave me confidence to speak Mandarin which enabled me to pass the language test for an airline job. She is highly recommended!!!

Waneque Christmon: For a long time, it had been a desire of mine to learn Chinese. However, in researching I thought the language would be too complicated. Recently the need for learning Chinese to improve my business pushed me to seek a teacher. After finding reviews about Professor Zhuo online and speaking with her on the phone, I felt that the goal of learning Chinese to be more obtainable and I started classes with her. Over the last few months, I have had the pleasure of working with her to learn the intriguing and beautifully intricate language. Truly she has brought the language to life for me, teaching is her gift. It’s rare that you find a teacher so dedicated and so adapt at simplifying a challenging subject. But she does just that. She has ignited in me a passion for Chinese culture, customs and the sophistications of the language itself. She creates programs, to help you achieve your individual goals and it’s amazing. After only a few months, I can speak and explain many of my thoughts as well as I have understanding of the basics conversations. Additionally, in speaking to native speakers I’m often told my pronunciation and fluency is impressive for the amount of time I have been learning. This is almost 100% thanks to Professor Zhuo, I look forward to continuing to learn from her.

Betty Huang (2019): Wonderful teacher who is supportive and helpful. Amazing style of teaching and a great learning experience. If you are looking for a place to study mandarin, the teacher is kind and patient and this would be the perfect place to go.

Amir: I just finished the Mandarin M1 class with Angel Yuan (苑) and enjoyed every bit of it. This is the beginner class, where we started with zero knowledge of the language.In a short 5 weeks, and with Angel's patience and great teaching style, I'm now able to:- have a beginner level conversation- understand the tones, and know where my tones are right or wrong- read and understand Pinyin writing of the words I know- and most importantly, to learn new words and sentences on my own, and add to my vocabulary, as I've got the basics out of the way.I highly recommend Angel Yuan (苑) as a teacher, if you're looking to learn this beautiful language right the first time.

Danny Gillis: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,ValueI just finished the M1 introductory Mandarin course and I found the experience to be the best Mandarin lessons I've found (I've tried other schools in the area). The class was taught by Angel Yuan (苑), who was nothing short of magnificent. I highly recommend this class to anyone looking to learn Mandarin!

Thomas Abraham: I recently completed the M1 Mandarin Foundation class for beginners at Key Language Training. This course is for beginners, who has little or no knowledge about Mandarin. The instructor Ms. Angel (K.H.) Yuan is extremely good, experienced and very passionate about teaching. She has made learning Mandarin very easy. After successfully completing the course, I feel very confident and am proceeding for participating in the next level of Mandarin learning. I sincerely thank Ms. Angel (K.H.) Yuan and every one at Key Language Training for leading me through this process of learning.

Hailee Chun: I started learning Mandarin last year as a beginner, and thoroughly enjoyed classes taught by Angel Yuan. She is an amazing instructor who is passionate about teaching, and her classes are fun and helpful. I had no problem taking classes via Zoom as Angel created a great learning environment.

John Zwiep: Had Angel (K.H.) Yuan as my instructor. Her classes were well-run and I got exactly what I was looking for out of them!

asha klair: Big Thank you to Key Language Training for assigning me Ms. Angel Yuan as my instructor for Mandarin classes. Given Mandarin was my fourth language it was little challenging to learn but Angel has made it possible for me to learn common words or phrases to hold basic conversation with people. Angel is very enthusiastic, professional and has very good command over English. She is friendly and always make sure everyone is feeling comfortable in class. It was a fantastic learning experience and I would definitely recommend her as she is a great teacher for learning Mandarin.

Dora Papas: Positive:Communication

Y Chen: I entered into module 6 since I have already study some chinese in the past. In class, Angel, the instructor goes through textbook material to have the students practice their pinyin reading, pronunciation, and listening. She also incorporates resources outside of the textbook which makes the class more interesting.

Sebastian Toelle: I just finished module 1 and highly recommend Key Language Training if you want to learn Mandarin. Well organized, very professional, always friendly and so helpful; thank you much Ping!Ms full of energy Angel Yuan is my teacher and I couldn't imagine a better one as you can see and feel how passionate she is in her work. Very encouraging, patient and with high pedagogical skills in a very inspiring way.I am looking forward to continue learning a lot from you. 谢谢 Angel

Brett Samson: Positive:QualityI've taken Mandarin lessons with KLT both in-class and recently online. The instructor for my online training, Angel Yuen, brings a great enthusiastic energy, and is a powerpoint master! She encourages a lot of speaking and listening practice which helps with retention of learning.

Marie Li Yu: I really enjoyed Angel Yuan’s classes. She has a lot of energy and is willing to help you 110%. Great teacher!!!Thank you,See you back in Taiwan girl!!

Hannah Dao: Had a great experience with my M1 class. Angel Yuan is a dedicated and warm teacher. She knows how to explain things well and cares for every member of the class to make sure everyone catch up the lessons. I decided to continue my Mandarin learning journey mostly due to Angel.

Maxime: I had a great time the school. Just finished the Modul 1 with Angel Yuan and she is a great teacher.However, only a few classes are available in Richmond. The classes are small (3-4) which is great for learning but might be pricier.

Scott Swanson: Module 1 is a very good introduction to the Chinese language. Our instructor, Angel Yuan, is not only a native speaker, but also is formally trained in both linguistics and education. She gave personalized instruction to each student depending on where they planned to use the language. For example, since I am working in a Taiwanese context, Angel made a point of highlighting pronunciation, word, and tonal changes - compared to one of my classmates who does business in Beijing.Angel is warm, friendly, and easily given to laughter. She readily makes herself available outside of class via we chat or email to answer questions. I look forward to studying Module 2 with Angel and warmly recommend her as a Chinese language instructor.

Jackey Cai: A great experience with the French teacher Matthieu. Overall, the right school to learn languages.

Brendan Ryley: I just finished 5 private sessions with Monica Chen, and was able to learn a lot already. As an intermediate Mandarin learner (i know about 800 words so far), it was very hard to find lessons appropriate for my skill level, but Monica was able to go out of her way to make custom lessons specifically for my skill level!I also work as a physiotherapist at Richmond Blundell Physiotherapy and am looking to take on chinese speaking clients soon. Since Monica also works in the medical field, she was able to create lessons specifically tailored for medical practitioners looking to learn mandarin, and was very knowledgeable in medical terminology.Would highly recommend for medical professionals looking to 学普通话!

Misa Yan: Amazing! My teacher also speaks French. He knows exactly what is the hardest difficulty for a French Canadian to learn Mandarin. The class was motivating. I highly recommend Pandarin.

Reine Edejer: Nelson Mandela said, "without language, one cannot talk to people and understand them, one cannot share their hopes and aspiration, grasp their history, and appreciate their poetry, or savour their songs".Through Pandarin Education and its founders, I was able to grasp the most basic foundation of the Mandarin language (and the hardest for some, including me), pronunciation. I attended the first free workshop this May when I was invited by Miao Dong (Mason), whom I knew and met through the UBC Tandem Language Learning Program last October 2017 – because he learned of my language learning history again when we introduced ourselves in the beginning of the workshop, Miao Dong was able to personalize how he should teach me the pronunciation for ü and I was really thankful for it.In that free workshop, I learned more than just basic pronunciation with the new knowledge and better understanding of Pinyin. Pandarin Education is honest and generous in the advice and resources they give and it is greatly appreciated by someone like me who wants to commit and be serious to learning Mandarin.I am a self-proclaimed polygot (a lover of languages) and only learned (basics of) language by myself through forms of entertainment: television and music and language apps here and there, but I admit that those methods of learning was sporadic more than constant and serious learning. It eases my mind that Pandarin exists since learning a language is actually more efficient when learned together with experts of fluent speakers of the language (because then it will be easier and more convenient when practicing for conversation skills too!).tl;dr, Instead of spending money for a beginner Mandarin class at your college/school, I highly suggest attending Pandarin Education classes and knowing this fact for yourself. Kudos and more power to Pandarin and it's founders for creating a company like this and reaching out to people like me!

Avery Hoeppner: Miao is an excellent teacher who absolutely goes the extra mile for his students. Can’t praise this guy enough!6/5

Brendan Ryley: 太好了. My class was very organized and helpful. My teacher was always available to answer questions over wechat and did not mind staying after class to continue the lectures. It is a great option for anyone who wants to learn Chinese in Vancouver.
