"Sonia is one of the best teachers I have seen so far. Teaching Mandarin to 5 years old kids is not an easy job. She demonstrates amazing patience and creativity towards her teaching. Kids are always excited to attend her class. She gives equal attention on each and every kid and makes sure that they are setup for success. To make sure that kids are progressing well, she sets checkpoint with parents. Very proactive in giving and seeking feedback. She has been taking YCT classes for my kids since more than an year now. In a batch of 5 kids all of them qualified Level One. Happily they are preparing for YCT Levle II. Really lucky to find her. We wish her all the best. "

"All my apprehension of undergoing a virtual class "via skype" and that too a foreign language class , was laid to rest . The module is very well conceived and the time for the course and each class was appropriate and a beginner like me was not rushed . Credit goes to Sonia , who not only has the knowledge but very good teaching skills. Appreciate the dedication shown and the immense patience . With good participation from the students side , this language can be learned without much fuss. I am happy I took the class with Sonia and also happy that I opted it via skype , saved me all the time trouble of commuting . This was just like physically attending any class and never felt like a virtual class. "

"I admire her as a very good teacher. I appreciate her for exhibiting a great professionalism and deeper understanding of the language and the process of teaching. In a very short time I could develop my fundamentals strong and exercise. She always encouraged me to understand the nuances through comparing my native languages and symbols. Her friendly, interpersonal savvyness and greater paitence plays a bigger role in this whole process which benifits the students as well as professionals who are planning to move to China or for any other business development aspects with China. I am confident and would like to share is - Bangalore (as a strong business hub of india) needs a Mandarin teacher like you. "

"It has been an excellent experience learning from Sonia. Many may question about the effectiveness of online classes in learning a new language, but the method of connecting on Skype for the online video classes that Sonia conducts is extremely hassle free and very convenient. She uses very useful training material and a white board to explain grammar points. It's as good as a classroom session with the added advantage of a 1:1 session with complete focus on you. Her teaching method is very systematic and she makes sure to go through most of the exercises with you during the classes. She also shares a lot of information on Chinese culture based on her experience of staying in the country for over 3 years. Looking forward for the next level course with Sonia.. "

"When I joined the class I was not sure if I will ever learn Chinese and how many lessons I will be able to complete but with the great support and efforts from Soniya I could finish the complete book and really feel happy that I learnt Chinese. The course structure was very planned and organised, she even taught me many things out of the book which are related to daily life and Chinese culture. All the course material was provided to me. She explained everything with the help of examples which I could easily co relate and remember. She is a very patient teacher, some times I will not remember the words or previous lessons but she will be always smiling and will help me to remember those words with the examples she had given. I really felt motivated during the classes and that is the reason I could learn Chinese in very short span of time. Proper explanation of the written and listening exercises was given and if needed she will re-teach also. In short I will say Soniya is a very cooperative and dedicated teacher, her teaching style is very engaging, she has complete knowledge of the curriculum and has a passion for her subject which in-turn motivates students to learn more and more.

Though I had very short span of time, she taught me clearly and completed successfully. Now she is one of my best friend. I recommend Sonia for everyone who want to learn mandarin in an easy way. "

"Mandarin is one of the most difficult languages to understand & learn and teaching it to kids of 5-8 years of age, can be even more challenging. This is where Ms Soniya Ghosh has made a great difference to our kids as a teacher. Her teaching methodology is very practical & interesting. Kids have been introduced to very basic, frequently used words – with picture of each word/object – and this helps them to immediately relate the mandarin word with the picture. Introduction to commonly used greetings, phrases, colours, numbers, relations etc have been done in this manner & kids have picked these words immediately. The supplementary notes are equally easy to understand & help in quick revision. The most interesting part is the teaching sessions are not about studies – but it has been fun learning for kids. Kids are encouraged to speak to each other in Mandarin, practice pronunciation – and enjoy while doing so. We often find, our kid coming back home – and challenging us to tell us the meaning of several mandarin words/phrases, numbers. This itself is so entertaining & shows the kind of fun the kids are having while learning mandarin. As the session progress, it would be very interesting to see the kids getting a grip over the language – and eventually being able to communicate basic phrases in mandarin. In the current era of knowing mandarin language, this could be immense benefit to kids – and we would like to thank Ms Soniya Ghosh for this initiative. Thank you. Mayur & Prachee Mandlekar "
