“The classes I’m taking at Unlock Chinese are very interesting. The teacher shows up to the classes with a lot of energy and always very well prepared. She knows exactly what she will be covering for that particular class so there is no time wasted. Along with focusing on speaking, grammar, vocabulary and character recognition special emphasis is placed on the tones and the word’s correct pronunciation. From time to time the teacher offers interesting insight to Chinese culture and the meaning being the Chinese characters.
UnlockChinese wasn’t recommended to me. I found the school online and decided to take a chance to study with them. I’m glad I gave them a try. I feel their classes are very challenging and rewarding. It’s refreshing to see a teacher who is really into making sure that the student has an overall great learning experience. I highly recommend any student who is studying Chinese to give UnlockChinese a chance as well. It will help you take your Chinese to the next level.”

“I have been learning Mandarin with Yutong for two and a half years. She is very good at customizing the curriculum to my needs, which was to be able to converse during my business trips to Taiwan and Hong Kong. I am able to speak fluently now and can understand oral Chinese at ease. Thank you!”

“Never knew learning a language could be so fun! I have been taking Cantonese with Chantal for 1.5 years. There are few existing Cantonese textbooks that suit my interest. She used a textbook that she brought from Hong Kong, and she supplemented the textbook with various audiovisual content from TV shows, songs, and forums that Hong Kong people use.”

“Chen Laoshi is the best teacher I have ever had. Not only is she knowledgeable about teaching Chinese, but also very skilled in creating tailor-made lessons and integrating authentic materials appropriate to my level and my interest.”

“After I had one trial lesson with Yutong, I already knew that she is an excellent teacher. Her extensive training and experience are very clear right from the start. Yutong was very prepared to teach the content I needed (HSK preparation). She quickly understood my strengths and weaknesses and tailored her activities to focus on the areas where I needed work. I’ve had a lot of Chinese teachers over the years who just put a newspaper article in front of you and make you read it aloud, or just have 30 minutes of aimless conversation. It was so wonderful to have a structured lesson focused on my needs with a talented, well-trained professional educator. I’m looking forward to more lessons with Yutong. Highly recommended!”

“I was planning a trip to Taiwan for vacation and I thought it would be good to learn some Mandarin so I could get around. That’s when I found Unlock Chinese and decided to try their trial class. One of their teachers, Harry, taught me and I found that one session immensely useful. I kept taking classes until my trip and now that I’m back I’m considering continuing as I fell in love with the language and opportunities it provides!”
