In conclusion, this course has equipped me with valuable skills to integrate Mandarin seamlessly into my advisory practice, exceeding my initial expectations.
The class was excellent! More than the comprehensive notes, Zheng 老师 facilitated the classes exceptionally well. Her enthusiasm and cheerfulness puts the students at ease & helps take the stress off the students. She’s clear and very articulate and will take time to explain challenging/technical words and concepts. Being highly skilled in both language, she helps students to grasp the learning much faster. She often goes beyond the textbook to make the learning practical by introducing tips to help students engage with their prospective clients effectively. To top it off, she helps the students to be relevant by introducing current Chinese culture, trends, mindsets and thinking. Thank you Zheng 老师! I’d also like to thank the SCCIOB staff for the smooth administration & prompt help with all queries.
