Business Mandarin Chinese Course

Communicate Effectively

Shelley is the ideal teacher for healthcare professionals seeking to acquire Mandarin language skills. Her lessons are not only enjoyable and stimulating but also provide a challenge.

Shelley designs her lessons to enhance medical Mandarin vocabulary, and I've already noticed a significant improvement in my ability to communicate with Mandarin-speaking patients.

In addition to her teaching skills, she is an excellent listener, an exceptionally kind and patient individual, and any student would be fortunate to have her as their tutor.

Improve Your Chinese Language Skills with Personalised Learning

Shelley was such a great teacher in that she really personalized your learning to your goals and ambitions. She is very knowledgeable and targets specific areas in which you want to work on and provides actionable feedback - for example, when stating that I wanted to improve my business Chinese reading abilities - she found different levels of articles and went above and beyond to push my communication abilities by discussing the materials that she provided.

A very thoughtful teacher that has a great balance of being supportive and encouraging as well as understanding and flexible. Would highly recommend to all levels (even those at higher Chinese abilities).

Integrative, Tailored and Personal

I have studied advanced Chinese with Shelley in both a private and group context for three years now. In the nine years that I have taken Chinese lessons, Shelley is, without a doubt, the best Chinese teacher I have had the fortune of being taught by.

Shelley's teaching style is integrative, tailored and personal. She creates a safe-to-fail space where everyone, including herself, is comfortable with participating and voicing different opinions. The learning and improvement that derives from this ability to leverage each other's strengths through mutual and respectful constructive criticism is significant.

While there is (thankfully) no cookie-cutter structure to each class, Shelley always manages to plate up the optimal amalgam of reading, speaking, listening and writing/typing Chinese. Since attending Shelley's classes, I have developed from being able to speak and read Chinese at a basic level to now, comfortably understanding Chinese news articles.

Refine & Improve Business Chinese

I started taking private Chinese lessons with Shelley earlier this year and have found it very rewarding. I was looking for some help on refining and improving my business Chinese (reading / writing / speaking) in the context of using it at work (as a finance professional). I have found Shelley's knowledge in this highly specialized area very helpful and that her tailored lesson plans / teaching method has really helped me improve and get more confident in my business Chinese. I highly recommend her to anyone wishing to improve their Chinese skills in all contexts / levels.

Expand Vocabulary and Phraseology

Shelley Tian is a first class Chinese language teacher. She is equally adept at coaching the pre-eminent, internationally accredited language examinations for Mandarin Chinese, as well as designing tailored coaching lessons for customised personal and professional requirements. My Mandarin speaking skills were rudimentary when I met Shelley, and within a mere month, she was already encouraging me to significantly expand my vocabulary and phraseology for business purposes. Shelley’s teaching methodology is both efficient and effective.
