Feedback from learners:
- Really supportive class. Extremely good handout and well planned out lessons.
- Enthusiastic teacher and useful handouts. Like homework and getting feedback.
- Mix of exercises/activities, excellent tutor – amazing handouts.
- “Memories card” at the end of the lesson is really useful. It is a very good way to understand and remember the phrases.
- I enjoy the cultural aspects of the course.
- David is great at relaying Chinese culture to the class, as a result I have learnt a lot of interesting facts. Throughout this term, David has taught us an array of topics and revises these topics with vocabulary and sentence tests, which help embeds what we’ve learned. He has also helped correct my pronunciation which has helped me improve.
- The tutor is very interesting and brings humour to the classes.
- The lessons covering travel were amazing and prepared us well for an upcoming trip to China.
