Silvia 's Experience

I was looking for something fun and educational to do in my semester break and was thinking about visiting a good friend of mine whose parents live in Beijing. When I then found the East West Connection 1 Month Mandarin program via Google my decision was made. The program offers a great balance between study and free time with intensive classes until 2.30, and the afternoon off to explore the city and spend time with friends. My two teachers Sherill and Wendy were both highly motivated and very friendly, making me look forward to classes every day and helping me to advance at my own pace. If I ever needed help, even with things outside the classroom, they were always reachable and glad to help. Moreover, the school building itself is really nice with bright, friendly rooms and a great cafeteria. All in all I was very happy with my experience with East West Connection and felt like I got a lot out of the month I spent there.
