Chinese 1 to 1 General

These Chinese lessons are more general in nature and are targeted at students with a whole range of different needs. While all beginners level students can expect to cover Survival Chinese - required for short visits to a country where English may not be spoken and/or the intention is to make good contacts with the local population, students then generally progress in different directions depending on their needs. Typical students include those buying property overseas, spouses of overseas nationals, people about to set off on that long-awaited world trip, Chinese culture enthusiasts and those who are keen to pass a particular Chinese examination.

Chinese 1 to 1 Business

These Chinese lessons are driven towards people who have a requirement to learn Chinese to bolster their work output. For novices, you will find it useful to learn basic greetings and business etiquette; and once you have become more proficient then reading and writing will come to the fore. Typical students include those concerned with import/export, those seeking work in multinational companies, international negotiations, and anyone working with international colleagues or administration. Even on our most rudimentary beginners lesson, students can expect to finish the lesson with decent telephone and e-mail Chinese, as well as a good enough grip on the language for a short trip to the country.

Austin

As the capital of Texas and nicknamed the "Live Music Capital of the World", Austin is a truly happening part of the American South and Southwest. Known not only for its musicians and venues, the city's 715,000 residents include a great deal of diversity, both in terms of culture, ethnicity and quirkiness. There seems to be no such thing as a 'typical' Austinite - almost every race under the sun is represented in the city; meaning that as far as places to pick up a new language are concerned, Austin is a great candidate.
