What Our Students Say

"My daughter has no background whatsoever in Mandarin but is thriving in this program. The combination of current learning techniques and age appropriate engagement has made learning a new language super rewarding. I highly recommend this program to anyone remotely interested. You will not regret it!"

Zahra Designs

"Under MR.Joseph's guidance, Tina's English proficiency is gradually improving. Joseph provides rich and varied lesson content, allowing Tina to enjoy the learning process. As Tina delves deeper into her studies, her confidence grows, enabling her to express herself more fluently. Learning English is a long-term journey, but English is just a tool; Joseph's lessons are not only about learning English but also about exploring various cultures and knowledge through English. This is the teaching content that I appreciate. I highly recommend parents to give it a try. 老師可以用中文溝通，英文不好的家長不用擔心唷！"

"My Mandarin classes with Lucy Zhan were extremely helpful & a wonderful introduction to the language! I would highly recommend this class to someone who may need extra one on one help or may not be able to attend the regular classes. She went out of her way to accommodate me by coming to Hespeler and made the difficult introduction to a new language extremely interesting. Thanks again"
