"Great teachers and study ambiance"

Kim P

We were taught by 4 different teachers, which allowed us to become to get used to different tones and be exposed to a variety of teaching techniques, which also kept our sessions fresh and interesting. All of our teachers had great senses of humor and ideas about how to remember the words and grammar. I would not hesitate to recommend this school to anybody looking for a friendly and personal place to study whether on a long or short term basis. I hope I can return there in the future!

My teachers at Mandarin Inn were fabulous! They taught me with enthusiasm and made me feel comfortable to use my Chinese. Although Mandarin is not easy to learn, my teachers helped me to progress much faster than I ever expected and made my Chinese language and culture experience in Shanghai a pleasant adventure.
