"I have been meaning to learn spoken conversational Mandarin for years. With Mandarin eSpeak, I can finally find the time to do it! The flexibility to schedule my lessons at short notice, the ease of doing it from my home computer, and the professionalism of the various teachers language coaches give me plenty of flexibility, options and learning experiences. The curriculum is well thought out, and each teacher coach has exhibited the flexibility to work at my learning pace and ability.

It was only after doing a few sessions each with a few of the coaches that I was told that they are blind. I might have suspected Danny, as he was wearing sunglasses all the time. But the way he handled the content, and communicated with me through the chat box, I thought he must be able to see. With Anita, however, until today I cannot believe that she is totally blind. They do their job so seamlessly and well."

"Mandarin eSpeak is easy to set up and the online booking interface is user-friendly. Lessons are relatively easy to book.

The coaches are very professional and made me feel at ease while I was speaking. They were very patient with me as a beginning Chinese speaker. They also provided me with materials in which to learn and a review each time."

"After eleven Mandarin eSpeak sessions, I went from getting marks around 55 to getting marks around 85, which is an A, in my Mandarin exams. I really enjoyed the one-on-one aspect and found the lessons more fun and engaging than the group lessons I was having previously."

"Mandarin eSpeak provided me with the ability to practise my Mandarin anytime and anywhere I chose. All I needed was a reasonably fast internet connection and my iPad. Fixing a convenient time at short notice was also very easy to do with their online scheduler. They tailored the content to my needs and I found their coaches to be experienced, patient and fun. I would highly recommend Mandarin eSpeak to anyone who wants to learn to speak Mandarin but may not have the time to attend regular classroom classes. In addition to providing a world class Mandarin training service, it is also worth mentioning that their coaches and most of their staff are people with disabilities (PWDs)"

"The thing I like about Mandarin eSpeak is its convenience - I can take classes even when I travel for work. On top of that, they have well qualified teachers who are very patient. I was told they have visual disabilities, and this gave me a deep impression and respect for them as their teaching abilities are outstanding despite their physical disabilities.

After taking the sessions, I have noticed that my Chinese has obviously improved in the following aspects:

1. Listening, speaking, pronunciation and grammar.
2. I feel more confident speaking Chinese.
3. I am able to understand and be understood more while talking with others in Chinese.

I think of the way that Mandarin eSpeak coaches conduct the sessions is very professional. I like their teaching style. The content used in Mandarin eSpeak is practical and useful.

I feel that Mandarin eSpeak is a high quality product for Chinese language proficiency."

"Mandarin eSpeak has helped me understand and converse in Mandarin much better than my school. What has impressed me most about Mandarin eSpeak are the coaches as they are patient and very understanding.

After attending Mandarin eSpeak, I think that my listening, speaking, pronunciation and reading have improved, as has my grammar. I now know how to ask questions in Mandarin. In addition, I am able to understand more while talking with others in Chinese.

I think the Mandarin eSpeak coaches' teaching style is great.

Talking to different coaches helped me understand the different slangs and accents people have when speaking Chinese. The content used in Mandarin eSpeak is useful to learn Chinese with, since most of it is what I need to cover in my school syllabus.

I would definitely recommend this programme to others because it has helped me and I am sure it will help others."

"What I like about Mandarin eSpeak is that they provide me with an environment where I can learn Chinese in a comprehensive and accurate manner.

In my case, I am a beginner student and I tend to be overwhelmed by my lack of confidence in speaking Chinese. However, the coaches in Mandarin eSpeak were very patient with me. They somehow boosted my confidence in speaking Chinese. They were very comprehensible in a way that they created structures for me where I can follow through step by step. This is what has impressed me most about Mandarin eSpeak when taking the sessions.

After taking the sessions, I've noticed only later that my Chinese was improving when I tried to listen to audios in Chinese and surprisingly, I was able to understand almost all of what I listened to. Though speaking may still be a little bit difficult but when somebody is talking to me using the words I've learned, I am able to understand what the person is trying to say. So, I've probably improved in my listening and pronunciation areas.

Right after each session, I feel more motivated to speak the language. The coaches give me feedback on how I could improve my Chinese language more and where I should concentrate on when I'm practising.

I have noticed that each coach has their own teaching style. However, I do not find their teaching styles confusing. They can deliver their sessions clearly and well-organised.

I feel practising Chinese with different coaches helps to be exposed to different accents and nuances in language. At first, I was trying to figure out how I can concentrate on only one coach, but when I started having sessions with different coaches, I found it even more interesting!

Organised lessons are observable. We continue from the last portion discussed during the last session and we are able to continue on the next topic.

The content I am currently taking is a customised content wherein I can practise writing my own sentences through a diary and have the coaches check my composition and then thereafter, we can continue on the lesson. I find the contents very helpful because they are complete in a sense that, there are pronunciation exercises, vocabulary exercises, and dialogues. I find it very convenient as I can request for a particular topic to discuss.

I feel that Mandarin eSpeak is a high quality product for Chinese language proficiency. I think the coaches have had enough experience to teach beginners like me. They never made it difficult for me to study the language. If time allows me to recommend this sort of program, I would and because it makes me feel proud to be a student here."

"What I like about Mandarin eSpeak is its convenience as it allows me to plan my time for sessions independently. Also, I get to learn from actual coaches that speak the language in its original tone and accent. What has impressed me most about Mandarin eSpeak when taking the sessions is the professionalism of how the sessions are conducted.

After attending this programme, my Chinese has obviously improved, especially in the areas of listening, speaking and pronunciation. I feel more confident speaking Chinese and I am able to understand and be understood more while talking with others in Chinese.

By practicing Chinese with different coaches, I can now understand the style of speaking from people of different parts of China. The content used in Mandarin eSpeak is useful to learn Chinese with, as it is sometimes relevant to my job as well. Mandarin eSpeak is a high quality product for Chinese language proficiency and I would recommend it to others."

"The things I like about Mandarin eSpeak are the easy scheduling system and 7 days availability. What has impressed me most about this programme when taking the sessions are the skills of the coaches and that they are mostly differently-abled individuals (PWD).

After attending Mandarin eSpeak, my Chinese has obviously improved in pronunciation and grammar, and with the little amount of sessions, I think I have reached a level of confidence that I am happy with.

I like the teaching style because the coaches adjust to one's needs and it's not too structured that my questions are answered and I learn what I want to learn at the moment of the session. Even though I had different coaches each session, I still feel like my sessions had a sense of continuity to them. Regarding the content used in Mandarin eSpeak, I trust that the sequence is the way it is to help me progress in my skills.

I definitely feel that Mandarin eSpeak is a high quality product for Chinese language proficiency and I have already spoken about it to others!"
