"First Step Mandarin is amazing. My daughter looks forward to her weekly lesson. The instructor is organized, prepared and prompt. His friendly and warm demeanour, along with his engaging lessons has created an exciting learning environment for our daughter. Thank you for all of your hard work."
Jessica Chan
"I took the online beginner's course, and it was wonderful! Yang Laoshi is a great teacher; she's very personable and makes each class fun and engaging! The content and the way it's presented made learning Mandarin feel very doable, even to a beginner like me. It has provided me with a great foundation for learning Mandarin in the future and has helped me communicate better with Mandarin-speaking people in my life. Absolutely would recommend First Step Mandarin to anyone who wants to learn Mandarin!!!"
Michelle Continisio
"My Mandarin classes with Lucy Zhan were extremely helpful & a wonderful introduction to the language! I would highly recommend this class to someone who may need extra one on one help or may not be able to attend the regular classes. She went out of her way to accommodate me by coming to Hespeler and made the difficult introduction to a new language extremely interesting. Thanks again"
