Motivation & Enthusiasm

Student motivation is the single most important aspect in learning. We believe teaching with clarity, passion and sincere enthusiasm effectively impacts learners. Therefore we hope to infect students with our enthusiasm.

Professional & Collaborative learning

We believe a professional teacher should understand both the learning style of individual learners and the cultural diversity of the class. They should plan and implement lessons that clearly identify learning objectives and strategies for effective student engagement. We believe learning is a collaboration between the teacher and the learner, and between individual learners. We create a “working as a team” learning environment.

Authenticity & Integrity

Being genuine and building trust are the important parts to establish a successful learning environment and maintain a collaborative climate in the classroom.

Be truthful and fair. We keep our promises and fulfil our commitments.

Comfortable & Enjoyable

CFP is responsible for establishing a comfortable adult learning environment. Students feel at ease to ask questions, express their views and share experiences.
We teach with a contagious smile and open personality that help us to interact with our students as we guide them through their learning process.

Director, Phil Lambert Consulting

Outstanding Teacher

Chinese is a difficult language. Shelley is able to explain the complexities with ease, in English.
In my experience, there are no short cuts to learn Chinese. You have to spend a lot of time in class over a long period. It’s therefore very important for students that they enjoy being in class.
Shelley’s classes are very enjoyable – in fact, they’re fun.
