Testimonials

Our team has been learning Mandarin with KaiXin for 5 months, and hope to continue for a long time. Mei is an amazing teacher. Despite the fact that you're learning a ton in each session, Mei makes the class feel like a fun break in your day. She instantly makes everyone feel comfortable and brings topics to life with group discussions and games, all on top of clear, structured instruction. We can all now hold a basic conversation in Mandarin, thanks to Mei.

KaiXin was a great choice for getting some members of our team introduced to the Mandarin language as well as some fundamental Chinese cultural insights. Mei was very accommodating and could cater the class to exactly what the students needed. Gaining an appreciation for a new language and developing empathy for people through exposure to a new culture was a great opportunity for our team and was a fun experience and valuable investment.

I've been taking Mandarin classes with Mei Jiang, for a few months now, and I feel a lot more comfortable talking to my clients in the Far East. Unlike college courses, her teaching style is catered around the essentials of everyday life, while still maintaining the grammatical structure to build a solid foreign language foundation.

I have to say that I was a little reluctant to take a language class to learn Mandarin. I work over 40 hours a week and I'm constantly reading to keep on top of everything for my job. The thought of taking 3 hours per week for class, not to mention that Mandarin is a difficult language to learn, almost kept me from making the commitment. But I'm really glad I enrolled. I particularly enjoyed this class taught by Mei Jiang. She maintained an interactive and fun environment. I looked forward to going each week. The materials made it very easy to learn as well. After taking this class, I was actually able to understand some conversations I overhear in Chinese restaurants. I look forward to continuing with the intermediate level class.

I've been learning Mandarin Chinese in Mei Jiang's class for more than four months now. Her teaching is so effective that I've decided to continue with intensive private lessons in order to prepare me for my upcoming trip to Taiwan. Having majored in classical Chinese literature, Mei is well versed in the finer points of Mandarin grammar and vocabulary. But she is definitely not boring or old-fashioned. Her classes are always fun. And that's the secret of her teaching style. Mei's winning personality and great sense of humor make new learners like myself feel relaxed enough to open their mouths and start speaking Mandarin.

Mei Jiang is a great teacher. As a native speaker, Mei was able to teach me Mandarin in a natural and simple way. More importantly, she always made me feel comfortable and all classes were fun. I not only learned the Mandarin language, but also the Chinese culture, so that I could put what I learned into practice every day. It has been the most fun I have ever had learning a new language!

I've been taking introductory lessons from Mei at KaiXin for almost four months, and highly recommend them. My class is small, and we all get a lot of practice in a supportive environment. The lessons are well-paced and mix things up, so it doesn't feel like an onslaught of grammar or vocabulary - we practice by asking and answering questions and reading aloud, but also with different language games and little skits. I've been really happy with how much I feel like I'm learning, and would definitely recommend that anyone looking to learn a little Mandarin check KaiXin out.

Mei is a really fun teacher! I've been enrolled for a few months and I think this class takes a great approach to learning Chinese. What we've focused on is using pinyin to learn grammar. Along with that we focus on speaking which has allowed us to get to the point of speaking basic conversations with each other. The class size is small ( less than 4 people) which gives everyone plenty of space to contribute to class. I really recommend taking classes from Kaixin, its the first time I've been excited for "School".
