Learning Mandarin was enjoyable because of the songs, videos and creative activities. Singing and repeating words really helped us remember vocabulary, while the fun worksheets kept us engaged. Having time to revise before tests also helped us feel more prepared and confident.

"Ms Golder is honestly one of the most understanding, and sweetest teacher that has ever taught me. She is encouraging us to always strive for the best, while also being understanding like she can also relate to us in a different level. This makes me personally feel valued as a student and wanting to come back to her classes. In some essence, she come off as a very nurturing and mother sort of teacher figure. I am always impressed by how organized she is, which shows in the way she plans her classes and her willingness to always help her students so that they do well.“

“I really appreciate how Sophie keeps us updated on our child's learning progress and genuinely cares about each student. My child feels safe, supported and excited to attend Mandarin lessons every week. It's reassuring to know they're learning in such a positive and caring environment. Sophie is doing a fantastic job!”

“My child absolutely loves her Mandarin lessons! She comes home singing the songs she's learnt, complete with little dances and actions. The songs and sound-action activities have really helped her remember Pinyin sounds. It's lovely to see how much she's learning while having so much fun!”

“I can't believe how much more interested my child has become in learning Mandarin since starting lessons with Sophie! They now pick up Chinese books at home and ask me to read with them. They even try to teach me Mandarin words and genuinely enjoy practising what they've learnt in class. It's wonderful to see their enthusiasm and confidence growing!”

"My child absolutely enjoys the lessons. The interactive activities like games, role play, and storytelling make learning Mandarin fun and engaging. I’ve noticed a big improvement in both confidence and interest—they are always excited to share what they’ve learned after each class.”

“The lessons are highly personalised and relevant to my needs. As someone working in retail, I’ve been able to learn language that applies directly to my work. It’s very different from generic courses—the content is tailored and immediately useful.”

“The lessons have been incredibly helpful for real-life situations, especially for travel. I recently used Mandarin confidently during my trip to Taiwan, from ordering food to basic conversations. The focus on practical communication really makes a difference.”

“The lessons are very thoughtfully designed. Activities like pretend shopping and real-life scenarios help children use Mandarin in a natural way. My child is becoming more confident speaking and is starting to use Mandarin at home, which is amazing to see.”

Sophie is an awesome Mandarin teacher. She's friendly, enthusiastic, and always well prepared. As a native speaker, she teaches authentic pronunciation and usage, and she explains things clearly without making them feel overwhelming. She's also great at teaching proper character writing and stroke order. Would happily recommend her to anyone wanting to learn Mandarin.

Sophie has been great with my four year old. She loves attending her mandarin lessons and has been showing much more interest in her language, culture and heritage. Lessons are well planned and we get lots of updates on her learning journey too. Highly recommend!

My son's interest in learning Mandarin has grown remarkably since he started his weekly lessons at Mandarin Pro this term. He enjoys the fun and interactive learning sessions with Sophie and always gives two thumbs up after each lesson with her. He is making a good progress in his vocabulary and basic character writing, and is excited about attending classes each week. We receive prompt feedback and regular progress updates, which is great. Thank you for all the great work that you do, Sophie!

We are very impressed with Sophie’s teaching at Mandarin Pro. Our daughter Mira has made clear and steady progress over a few weeks so far. The lessons are engaging and supportive and we are really happy with the results. Looking forward to the next steps in our Pinyin journey.

We’re so happy to have found Sophie for our kids’ Mandarin learning. Kids learn the fundamentals of the language while having fun which is a huge plus. We can tell Sophie puts in great effort to do up worksheets and learning plans, and she updates us weekly on the kids’ progress. Highly recommend 👍
