I really enjoyed my experience with Hutong School in Shanghai. More than a simple Chinese course, here you can experiment the language with the help of very professional tutors, participate in many activities and meet many nice people from all around the world!
Excellent reception with 24h service for any issue or language problem that could arise. My Chinese teacher was very dedicated and skilled. I learned more in my five weeks in Shanghai than I had learnt two years studying at home.
Completé 3 meses del curso intensivo, la cual mejoro mi nivel y capacidad del idioma Chino. Agradezco la oportunidad de haber podido experimentar la cultura china a primera mano, así como la oportunidad de crear amistades no solo con mis compañeros de clase, pero también con las maestras y el personal. Hutong School me proporcionó una resid…
La Escuela Hutong hizo que venir a China por primera vez fuera muy provechoso, emocionante e integrador culturalmente. El personal, los profesores y los estudiantes fueron absolutamente encantadores y todavía me mantengo en contacto con muchos de ellos. ¡En 6 meses fui de un nivel principiante a un nivel intermedio!
Desde mi contacto por correo electrónico, el servicio al cliente fue excepcional. Recibí excelente información y apoyo antes, durante y después de mis clases. Los instructores fueron hábiles y tenían experiencia en la enseñanza del chino y en la adecuación de los estudiantes y las clases. ¡Me sorprendió mi progreso después de solo un…
La Escuela Hutong incluyó asistencia contra el bloqueo del lenguaje/cultural 24/7, y me expuso a una nueva cultura, grandes actividades culturales, un nuevo lenguaje, y gente increíble. Tomé el curso intensivo de chino y me pareció que era más eficaz que cualquier otro programa de chino que he buscado. Los profesores son muy buenos, profesi…
Hutong School gave me the opportunity to meet other students from all over the world and help adapt to Chinese culture. The events are always fun and a great way to meet other students, as well as seeing different parts of the city. Hutong School is really flexible with the class schedules, so you never miss out on fun activities!
My stay at the Hutong School was amazing because I had super good professors and I have met a lot of different students from all around the world during my 6 months' stay. More you stay, better it is to improve faster your Chinese level and share incredible moments with locals. Moreover, there is a bunch of activities proposed by the school, so you can discover the city, etc.
Viniendo de los EE.UU., estaba muy asustado y era cauteloso al ver las pasantías en China. Encontrar la Escuela Hutong fue una verdadera bendición. No solo se preocuparon por todas mis necesidades, sino que me abrieron los ojos a un nuevo mundo mientras me sentía seguro y cómodo. ¡No hay manera de que lo hubiera logrado sin ellos!
They provided me with an outstanding placement, tailored language classes and critical welcome assistance. I must have asked the staff a thousand times to change my program, two thousand times to sign up for activities and three thousand times I changed my mind, but I’ve always been assisted with a smile. Priceless experience, priceless staff!
