Praise for HUA JIE language programme’s lessons

I contacted HUA JIE School for private lessons after accepting a posting in China for work. I had only four weeks before leaving and time for only a few lessons a week. Yet, afterward, I was surprised by how much I could say after such a small number of sessions with HUA JIE. Ms Jin focus on correct pronunciation prevents the development of bad habits early on. Furthermore, the content in HUA JIE’s Mandarin Quick Learn program is immensely practical. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to develop basic proficiency in the language!”

- Steve, Managing director

Highly recommended! HUA JIE language programs – beginner course is an outstanding way to gain exposure to the Chinese language through its focus on building vocabulary, learning pronunciation and practical applications of the language. Students come from diverse ethnic and career backgrounds and the class has a low student-teacher ratio so you get plenty of direct coaching in these fun hands-on lessons……I plan to take the Intermediate course after Christmas!

- Alan, Sales Manager

A must take course if you are serious about learning Mandarin Chinese.

- Amy

HUA JIE ’s efficient method of teaching quickly familiarizes you with Chinese pronunciation and tones. I was surprised at how fast I learned some very useful words and phrases. For anyone that has the desire to speak chinese and learn Pinyin this is an excellent class.

- Peer, Manager

Ms Jin is a highly professional and passionate teacher. I like the integrity of her approach because she ensured that I solidly knew the fundamentals of Mandarin before moving on to more complex structures. She had a natural way of learning my style of language learning, which made a huge difference in embracing Mandarin concepts. I left every lesson with something to feel good about – and now I’m speaking Chinese

- Lisa, consultant

What should I mention first about  HUA JIE and her teaching? It could be the logical, yet human, way he leads even the greenest beginner forward through the thickets of a new language. Or it might be the way he somehow makes learning Mandarin seem approachable, even fun. Perhaps it would be his laser-like focus on each student’s success, striking a careful balance between gentle reassurance and carefully-timed jolts of motivation. Yet, even more than any of these, I was struck by how, under Jin’s calm and friendly leadership, a small class full of strangers transformed itself into a band of friends, pulling for each other, steadily gaining confidence and reinforcing each other’s success.

- Danna and Peter

Ms Jin is also teacher to my wife and my children. She is a young enthusiastic professor and proud of her work, very dedicated in the preparation of her lessons and very professional in the execution of her work.

Hello, I am Tim. I would like to introduce ? HuajIe Language School?, which is wonderful Chinese school in Singapore. My Chinese study so far has been focused on the Chinese exam called ? Chugokugo kentei? in Japan. Although I did my best to pass the 2^nd grade of it, I could not get enough score just 5-15 points shortage. Due to that situation, I have been becoming tired of studying it and also noticing my Chinese communication ability has not been improved in spite of my big effort..

At the same timing, I found TECC (TEst of Communication Chinese), as my company’s rule, is  the standard to decide the person will be transfered to Chinese speaking countries just like TOEIC for English speaking countries. TECC is not famous yet comparing with HSK and Chugokugo kentei in Japan. But the test construction is same as that of ????? emphasizing on checking communication capability.

As the next challenge, I decided to get the position working in China by getting  750 points  & over at TECC?this is the standard of our company for the members who will be work-assigned  to Chinese speaking countries). I set the first Target as 500 points.  In order to realize that my dream, I selected Huajie school because I got a good impression when I called Ms Jin for the first time.

The official language of Singapore is English but 60-70% of its population is Chinese race and they are eager to let their children study correct Chinese so that they have severe selection eye on the Chinese school.  The fact that Huajie school has a lot of children from Chinese family will prove her high value of Chinese education.

Huajie school has pretty much flexible program.  Since I preferred  private lesson, I asked Julie to arrange special program for me.   I enjoyed her lesson a lot. As the result of my study at Huajie school, how do you guess my score of TECC after going back to Japan ?   That was 519 points !    I made it !  Thanks Ms Jin !

Analysis of Improvement

A. Listening got 22% increase as I expected.

It is because continuous Chinese exposure to my ear during ms Jin’s class.  In addition, the material that she used was so effective in improving listening capability.

B. Reading capability was also improved during her class, which I did not expected because my target was to improve listening.  I realized that listening and reading capability is not separated one, which are

like the front and back side of coin.

C. I cleared my first target as getting over 500 score.

I am sure that I will come back to Julie’s school when I will be capable enough to challenge 750 & over.

I felt French is not hard to learn and I felt not confused any more. I have attened the other school to learn French, but I have to say I understand easier from Mr Gagnon. He taught me in a easier way to build my knowledge to French language. Thank you Mr Gagnon.

-Jame Johnson

“I have taken lots of classes over the years, tried studying on my own, but it wasn’t until I discovered Mr Gagnon that I really noticed a huge improvement in both my French comprehension and speaking ability. Recently I’ve joined a group of two other students and I’m enjoying the diversity of the conversations, as well as the challenge to keep up my end of them. Mr Gagnon is an efficent, capable teacher who has an uncanny ability to recognize individual learning style. He is flexible, patient, and creative. I always look forward to my lessons with him.”
-Hui Yong , Manager

“A naturally gifted teacher”

” I have been taking lessons with Mr Gagnon for several years. In addition to being a naturally gifted teacher, he provides a comfortable, safe teaching environment. His lessons are a great way to study the language via discussions of daily life events “

Jason Song – Student

“Outstanding Instruction for the advanced student”
“I travel over one hour each way to my weekly lesson without a second thought…”

“This is private instruction at its absolute best. Mr Gagnon has a flair for finding a multitude of language activities to motivate, clarify, and improve all areas for the advanced student. I travel over one hour each way to my weekly lesson without a second thought because this kind of personalized instruction is very difficult to find, particularly at this level.”
