Our Advantage

At iStar, we only teach Chinese with passion! We are committed to ensuring that EVERY learner has the best chance to succeed in learning Chinese and experiencing the culture. We guarantee the results because of the following advantages we have over other schools:

• Effective teaching & learning: The curriculum incorporates a thorough understanding of second language learning techniques when we teach Mandarin in an English environment. We also take into account each student’s individual needs and we use varied teaching strategies to encourage practice and to make learning more interesting and fun.
• Highly Qualified Staff: Our high standards begin with our staff. Our teachers are Chinese scholars from Mainland China, who are passionate in promoting the Chinese language and culture and have extensive experience in teaching different age groups.
• Practical Materials: Our text book, Zhongwen was written for oversea Chinese learning by College of Chinese Language and Culture, Jinan University, under the commission of Oversea Chinese Affairs Office of the State Council of People’s Republic of China.
• We also collaborate with overseas educators and educational publishers to develop Chinese learning materials that are especially targeted to overseas Chinese learners and foreigners who are interested in learning Chinese as a second language. A lot of in-house supplementary materials will be distributed in the classes to meet our students’ unique needs.
• Strong Support/Community Connection: We support students’ learning with a variety of consulting services to ensure familiarity with the culture while learning Chinese.
