The fastest way to learn Mandarin in London

Enjoy Private 1-2-1 Mandarin Chinese Lessons At Your Desk

Now you can learn Mandarin Chinese without leaving your desk because I'll come to you!

Dear budding Mandarin speaker,

I have a question for you.

Have you been meaning to start learning Mandarin for a while but somehow never seem to get round to it?

If so, don't worry, you're in good company. Most of my students were in the same position until they found my web site.

I spent the first 20 years of my life in Beijing - now I live in London and I'm going to help you kick-start your Mandarin studies and put you ahead of the learning curve.

Why bother to learn Mandarin anyway?

Only a decade ago, China was viewed as an obscure and far-away country with very little relevance to the west. However, since liberalisation, interest in China has steadily grown and is set to increase further as Beijing hosts the 2008 Olympics.

China's double-digit economic growth and 1.6 billion new consumers are attracting over $1M of foreign investment every minute meaning within the next few years China is set to become a new economic superpower.

The good news for you is that, despite their best intentions, very few people actually take action and start learning Mandarin meaning you have an excellent opportunity to gain a competitive advantage.

As China opens up to the rest of the world, it has never been more important to learn and understand the Chinese Language and Culture.

Min Dynasty’s personalised learning programme has enabled me to gain further insight into the language, giving me the confidence to speak Mandarin whenever I travel to China.

Warm Regards,

Eric - East London

Use others' procrastination to YOUR advantage

The 3 most frequent reasons people give me as to why they don't learn Mandarin are as follows:

1.

I don't have enough time to attend classes.

2.

I feel embarrassed to attend group classes.

3.

I can't find a decent teacher.

Whilst these are valid reasons, I don't think they are the full story. You see, once I really get talking to people two other very important factors come to light. One is fear and the other is lack of self-discipline. Both are perfectly understandable.

I appreciate that learning a language as an adult is not always easy and fear of failure, especially in front of a group can be paralysing - remember, I had to learn English as a second language so I've been through it.

Likewise, for busy people, time is always a scarce resource and language lessons often get pushed down the priority list.

Learning Mandarin with me is different

When you engage me as your private 1-2-1 Mandarin teacher all of these problems simply evaporate, look:

No need to attend classes after work - I visit you at a time which is convenient for you.

No embarrassing group classes - I provide 1-2-1 tuition at your own pace. Failure is not an option.

I'm an expert teacher - Your money back if you don't agree.

I appreciate that having to travel to lessons is inconvenient and eats into your busy working day.

I take the hassle out of learning Mandarin by coming to you.

I do not charge for travelling time and understand that your time is valuable. If I'm late, your lesson is free.

I do the travelling so that you don't have to!

As I tutor you in the privacy of your own home or office, you do not have to worry about looking bad in front of other people.

The essential 'C' word

By booking a series of lessons with me you'll be making a *commitment* to yourself to stick at it. I will encourage and inspire you to reach fluency.

If you want to get fit at the gym, the surest way is to hire a personal trainer - think of me as your personal language trainer; I'll make sure you achieve your goals.

Introducing my private 1-2-1 tuition course

My teaching system is based upon the very popular teaching text, "Learn Chinese The Fast And Fun Way" published by Barron.

You'll receive your own personal copy of this book - worth £11.99 - FREE with your first lesson.

You get a FREE copy of this 183 page, full-colour text book - A real book, NOT just an ebook.

"Learn Chinese The Fast And Fun Way" is excellent.

I chose it as the framework for my lessons after carefully evaluating many alternatives because it is clear and refreshingly accessible to beginners.

Together we'll cover all 30 sections of the book - and much more besides.

It's a fact, some people take longer than others to learn a new language. With me, you set the pace so you'll never be left behind or held back.

How it works

Step 1

As soon as I receive payment for your first lesson, I contact you to arrange a time and place which is convenient for us to meet.

Step 2

I bring you your FREE copy of "Learn Chinese The Fast And Fun Way" and give you your first lesson.

Step 3

You decide whether or not you'd like to book further lessons - simple!

Lessons last approximately 1 hour. I travel to you, all I ask is that you are accessible by the London Underground/Bus network.

Ideally, we'll use one of your company's conference rooms or an empty office but we can work at your desk if that is OK by you - and your colleagues!

Your first lesson

At the appointed time, I bring your FREE copy of "Learn Chinese The Fast And Fun Way" to you at your office.

During your first lesson we'll discuss what you'd like to achieve and any special requirements you may have.

As I will be teaching you individually, I can tailor lessons to cover areas which you are particularly interested in.

After spending our first hour together, you can decide whether or not you'd like to book me for further sessions. The choice is entirely yours.

I am not a salesperson and will not put you under any pressure. "Learn Chinese The Fast And Fun Way" is yours to keep whatever you decide.

Subsequent lessons

During subsequent lessons we'll cover each section of "Learn Chinese The Fast And Fun Way" which include:

*

Getting to know people

*

Arriving in China

* Seeing the sights
* Entertainment
* Ordering a meal
* Doing business in China

Remember, as I am teaching you personally on a one to one basis, I can customise the material covered to your specific needs meaning you learn exactly what is right for you.

More than just lessons

I know that learning a language can sometimes feel like a lonely experience and it's frustrating not being able to ask questions between lessons. That's why I offer students who book a series of lessons with me FREE UNLIMITED email and telephone support.

If, at any time, you feel you need help between sessions just drop me an email or pick up the phone. This service alone can save you hours of frustration and drastically accelerate your learning experience.

I have been studying with Athena since February. I am learning how to speak and also how to read and write the simplified characters.

I am very happy with the progress I have been able to make in all aspects of the language in that time.

How Much Does It Cost?

By now I am sure you're asking yourself how much expert personal tuition like this costs.

As I am sure you'll appreciate, on-site specialist 1-2-1 tuition usually commands a significant premium. In fact, many private teachers charge over £90 per hour for similar services.

Indeed, in the past, I've sold my time for more than this but for a limited time I am offering lessons at just one third of this price - £30 per hour IF YOU ORDER BEFORE 1st August 2008 (Subject to availability).

I'm doing this to encourage a select few students to book up early so that I can plan my diary in advance.

My time is limited so once another 10, 9,8,7,6,5 (last updated 04/07/08), students have enrolled I will increase my price to £90 per hour.

The price of your first and subsequent lessons are shown below:
