My experience with Chinesetown.com has been great. They are very polite and helpful and have a great deal of patients .They also take the time to explain all the little details to me. I am a very happy with my results and recommend them highly.
I remain a very happy customer and will stay with them until I am fluent in the Chinese language.
My idea about your school is that your organisation is very serious and really determined to student satisfaction, not only to making money. I noticed your tutor sometimes stays online with me even longer than 1 hour because she likes to complete the subject of the lesson. This is the difference between business and "core business", an expression that I use uncorrectely but effectively, not to indicate the main business of a company, but business made with heart!! I will surely pass your school name to my friends if I have the opportunity.
We read through portions of the text aloud; after each sentence or two she corrected my pronunciation errors, explained the meaning and usage of unfamiliar words and phrases, and helped me with difficult syntax. She was friendly, patient, and very helpful; she seemed able to figure out very quickly what my skill level was and to offer just the kind of help I needed. She was clearly well trained as a language teacher (she has a BA in teaching Chinese as a second language) and very experienced. Her English was also very strong, and she was able to offer precise English translations of tough Chinese words without any hesitation.
Overall, then, I was very impressed with my lesson.
I've learned Chinese with Chinesetown.com for about half a year now and I made great progress, especially on spoken Chinese. Their tutors are very nice and professional. Their customer services are excellent. I really enjoy learning with them.
I had no background in Chinese when I started three months ago. Now, I can speak quite some common expressions and many short phrases. I surprised my math teacher who is of Chinese origin. Nowadays it's cool if you can speak Chinese or Japanese in Netherlands, and I am one of those small groups of people!
Learning Chinese through this interactive medium has been an intense, but truly rewarding experience. One determines one's own pace by discussing in a focused way with one's tutor only those problems that need clarification. No reason therefore to be held back by a class, in which students would be on different levels. I was pleasantly surprised about the extent to which my basic knowledge of Chinese gained from this course enriched my recent visit to China.
ChineseTown has good teachers and well designed lessons. In each lesson I learn related characters and get to use them. The lessons are meaningful and apply to normal life, and the teacher can explain more about expression usage. The internet connection also works very well. I wish I had discovered ChineseTown earlier in my Chinese studies!
