Well-qualified, Experienced Teachers

A short piece of around 500 characters (including spaces) highlighting the quality of your teachers. You should emphasise the qualifications and experience you expect them to have, and you should let people know whether or not they’re native speakers. It would also be worth talking about your teachers’ knowledge of Chinese business and culture, and how they relate that to the lessons they teach.

‘A combination of understanding my learning style and priorities, and the professionalism of the teaching staff, made what seemed an impenetrable language much more approachable and fun.’

John Somers
Former Head,
Scottish Government Office in China

Friendly, Flexible Teaching & Learning

Another short piece of around 500 characters (including spaces) explaining the general approach to the teaching provided by the Institute. You may, for example, want to emphasise the friendly, fun focus of the classes, or you may prefer to focus on outcomes. Whatever you think is appropriate for this particular audience.

This may also be the place to mention classrooms and facilities, and the ability to deliver classes off-site in your client’s offices.

‘As the RSE works to build more links with China, I’ve found classes at the Institute very helpful and enjoyable. The ability to speak Chinese, even at a basic level, is seen as a sign of commitment in China.’

Professor Sir David Wallace
Deputy President,
Royal Society of Edinburgh
