I have been having group mandarin lessons now with China Unbound for over a year and have to say they are fantastic.Grace, our teacher, is methodical, practical and current - we are learning about Chinese culture, customs and traditions,. She is also very encouraging and helps us to feel good about our learning. I would wholeheartedly recommend China Unbound to anyone who is thinking of learning Mandarin or who is finding their classes are not meeting their needs.

Andy Nisbet

The course was really really good. I learned a lot from knowing nothing. There is still more content within the sections of the book we covered, and I intend to review & practice further. Looking forward to future courses. Grace is a fantastic teacher (with lots of patience :-) and the pace was ideal. I would highly recommend this course to anyone wishing to learn Mandarin.

These are great classes. Since starting the level HSK4 course my Mandarin has improved faster than I thought possible thanks to Grace (and my classmates :). Really enjoying it

Having studied with another Mandarin school before coming to China Unbound it was important that the tutors are able to peak good English in order to be able to explain the nuances of words. The pace and class size are good (small class sizes) which means everyone has time to speak and there is an emphasis on conversation and practice. I have done a beginner's course and moved onto Intermediate 2 - the books are good, with English, Pinyin and the characters and the most important thing is, the classes are fun and do not feel like work!

I have been having lessons with China Unbound for the last year, initially in the group class and then one-on-one with Esther. Both the classes and the lessons are excellent value for my money and my Mandarin has improved greatly in the short time. Esther is a very good, patient tutor and the lessons sometimes feel like friend's meeting for a chat, rather than a formal learning environment.

edward rothery

Before learning Chinese I tried taster classes with a few companies to see what suited me best. I had a taster class with Grace at China Unbound and knew straight away this was the firm for me, she was happy to alter my lessons to suit my specific goals, spends her time explaining the reasons why when I'm struggling to understand and most importantly she's patient when my memory leave me and I'm struggling to remember!

Marc Cerretti

I've been taking Cantonese lessons with Grace for almost a year now and have made great progress. The lessons are fun and interactive, with lots of opportunity to ask questions. I'd definitely recommend Grace for anyone learning Cantonese for the first time.

Ben

Well structured lessons and great teachers. Wonderful environment in which to learn Chinese.

陳履恒

I joined the dumpling class and it was great! Very good for learning Chinese culture and the name of the ingredient. And the eating bit helped!!

Vincent D

Good teaching, its fun and I can see that I progress in chinese.

Fantastic Mandarin lessons with China Unbound. Grace Zhao makes an incredibly difficult language easier to access and it was possible to have a real conversation in just one day. Unlike other courses I've attended, the emphasis was on sounds rather than symbols so it was possible to pronounce anything in Pinyin, the Romanised form, very quickly. The handouts were a great memory jogger. Highly recommended.

christopher mctavish

I have taken Chinese classes and have attended several Chinese cultural events. From dumpling making, Chinese history and Chinese New Year celebrations. Lots of fun and you meet interesting and like minded people.

Natasha Glynn

Ella was an absolutely fantastic teacher that made learning the basics of Mandarin interesting, fun and incredibly beneficial for both travel and work. Thoroughly enjoyable.

Jia Tan

For anyone looking to learn Mandarin, I would highly recommend learning with China Unbound. They offer courses for all levels of Mandarin learners from beginner to the more advanced learner. Grace is an excellent teacher as she was patient, organised and made the lessons very interesting and engaing. I definitely finished the course feeling more confident in communicating in Mandarin.

Michael Treacy

Great experience, lessons were made fun and we learnt a lot over a short period of time. Highly recommend!

lan Ward

Grace is a great teacher; very patient (she needs to be with a student as slow as me!).

My mother tongue is Cantonese and I have been living abroad for a long time. Determined to improve my Mandarin fluency, I went to Grace at China Unbound for help. She’s patient, well-organised and fun to work with. She’s helped me with my pronunciations and taught me business mandarin. I applied what I’ve learnt during my recent business trip to China and felt so much more confident in speaking Mandarin. I ‘d highly recommend China Unbound to Mandarin students at any levels.

I have attended the course at China Unbound to further strengthen my intermediate Chinese and found the course very useful and tailored to your needs. The classes were small, making it very private and student focused. Grace was patient and great teacher! Highly recommending!

Ankur Rajadhyaksha

The course provided an excellent grounding in Chinese, and gave me a good grip of the basics I will need to get by in China. Highly recommend this course

Berke Derelioglu

I attended this course just before I participated in Hsk4 exam and had 262/300 score in Hsk exam. I highly recommend every Chinese learners because not to mention very useful grammar points that is explained briefly by the teacher, this course also provides expressing yourself in Chinese in the lessons which would give confidence to every students.

Cheryl Hung

My organisation wants to work more closely with mainland China, so I needed a one-on-one Mandarin tutor. I chose China Unbound because of the business focus, and because Grace could accommodate my frequent travel. Although it’s only been a few months, I am very happy with my Mandarin progress. Grace is a patient and caring teacher, and helpfully also knows Cantonese. Definitely recommend!

Kelly McClarey

I have attended many classes and events over the last few years with China Unbound, and I can without a doubt highly recommend them and the incredible Grace! I actually learnt Pinyin, thank you Grace! Look forward to working together with you for many years to come! Kelly Marie x

Daniel Rainer

The courses are extremely good value, and Grace works very hard to tailor content according to your needs.

Really Good experience! I got exactly what i wanted from the classes and Grace is a great teacher - Highly Recommend. Really affordable too for anyone looking to self fund this.

Domenica Dilieto

The Survival Business Mandarin course was superb. Perfect for the time-poor professional. You will have a far better understanding of the language and how it differs from English.

swan phan

I've had private tuition with Grace as well as just completing the intermediate Mandarin course. I found the classes very accessible, creative and practical; it definitely got me speaking more Mandarin! The classes were also really fun, lots of laughter. I highly recommend Grace and China Unbound for Mandarin tuition.

Lyli

I really have enjoyed this course a lot. Our teacher was very passionate, prepared each lesson thoroughly which gave the course a structure, but also followed the dynamic of the group. Grace did not only introduce me to the beginning of the Mandarin language but also shared anecdotes about China, its history and lifestyle. Grace also gave us tips on how to enhance our pronunciation and often put us in small groups to practice. In addition to that, the atmosphere of the class was very pleasant. I would highly recommend this class.

Stacey Body

I've worked with China unbound for a number of years and have found their knowledge and advice vital when working with Chinese connections. I highly recommend their services to anyone!

Chris Scott

IGrace is a positive and patient teacher which was particularly helpful for me because I hadn't learnt a new language for almost 20 years! The class over 12 weeks was small which allowed for greater focus on each student. Would definitely recommend!

Cherry Fung

Highly recommended - Grace is a wonderful, experienced and patient teacher and the classes are highly engaging. Fit for any level and her knowledge of both Cantonese and Mandarin is particularly helpful for those who can already speak Cantonese. Five stars!

Matthew Horn

Been learning Cantonese with Grace for a couple of years to communicate with my girlfriend's family in Hong Kong. She has been very helpful and is a good teacher. I recommended China Unbound highly!

Gordon Chong

Grace classes have been a brilliant introduction to conversational and written Mandarin which will be most useful in my business and travel this autumn. I would recommend any who had not any experience in Mandarin to attend one of her classes !

Mandy Lee

The survival mandarin course with Grace is an excellent way to learn the language in a fun and informal way. After this 12 week course I can understand basic mandarin and feel confident enough to order my favourite dishes at my local Chinese restaurant! Very handy! Looking forward to joining onto the next course and learning more.

Darren Yeung

Went to Grace to brush up on my parents' language, mainly reading and vocabulary. I found Grace to be a patient and enjoyable teacher. The lessons sometimes felt like friends meeting up for a chat but in a foreign language. That's not to say the lessons were not structured or lackluster. Multiple reading material was provided found both in teaching books and online which enabled me to improve not only my understanding of the language but also of my parents' country and culture. It was and still is a great experience.

Kadri Ottas

Grace is wonderful teacher. Very professional and highly motivating.

Aslom Shaha

I enrolled on a beginner course after an initial meeting with Grace.
My tutor 'Sweta' was absolutely brilliant. She was patient with us and had sessions planned and organised in a fashion that met our needs.
I thoroughly enjoyed and benefitted from the speaking sessions where I was able to become more confident in using Mandarin.
Now that I have finished my twelve weeks, I actually miss going to class but unfortunately have other commitments at the moment. Would definitely consider doing the intermediate/advance courses.
If you're thinking about learning Mandarin, I would recommend Sweta and ''China Unbound'.

Kira Farrell

Grace is the perfect Mandarin tutor. I have been having private one-to-one lessons with Grace for the past couple of years and my Mandarin has improved to the point where I have got a new job more related to my degree as a result of Graces's tuition. She is kind, patient but serious and helps me with any grammatical errors I encounter through free flow conversation and correcting me when necessary. Grace is amazing and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a Mandarin tutor.
