Experienced Top-notch Mandarin tutor

Nicole is an excellent & highly experienced tutor who progressed my Mandarin knowledge enormously.
I always thought mastering writing and reading in Chinese would be pretty painful for me, and initially wanted to focus on speaking only, BUT with Nicole's methodology I could read basic texts and write over hundred of characters after 6 months only!

Unfortunately I couldn't continue studying with Nicole due to relocation to another country, but I would highly recommend her to all who wants to master Mandarin in the most effective way.





Danka, a Vietnamese, grew up at Ukraine, work in Malaysia and relocate to Singapore with great job offering to her, a position in "Facebook" and "Google". She is hardworking, fully committed despite busy working schedule. She completes her workbook on time for every lesson. I am really happy to teach her all the time, as I know she can master the language in near future. Hope she will continue her learning with great teacher. Wish you all the best :)

Learn it naturally! (Mandarin)

She'll make you feel interested and feel like want to keep learning from yourself. I feel like I have learnt it naturally. The course clearly is tailor made to suit the learner. (Mandarin)



Chat Chai is a fast learner for mandarin language. He is from Thailand with Chinese ancestry, also very flexibility on our learning schedule arrangement. He have high focus & attention during lessons taught in any location. Within 6 months, he started to practice spelling in paragraphs. He has very good memory on recognizing chinese characters and does writing after reading once. I hope he will continue his learning process after going back to Thailand. He is a talented learner.

Excellent tutoring one on one

Nicole is a very professional and friendly teacher with excellent skills. She followed my (beginners) level very accurately but would also always very subtly push me to try harder. I also appreciate the easy and quick communication with Nicole, her flexibility, and her sharing of Chinese culture, which I find endlessly fascinating. I warmly recommend Nicole's lessons for anyone who is interested in learning Mandarin Chinese in a thorough way.

Great Teacher

I am an Austrian guy who fluently speaks german and english. My experience in Chinese language was limited to a short Cantonese course in Hong Kong. I decided to switch to Mandarin and started with Nicole learning around 1.5 years ago (twice a week).
She is a very well prepared and knows exactly how to teach fresh students Mandarin and also keeps them interested in the language. From the beginning on I was quite surprised and fascinated at the same time to learn Mandarin in writing, reading and speaking. Understanding all aspects of a language makes it very demanding but also much more satisfying I have to say. Nicole explained to me that's the best way to learn this language and I can only agree.
Nicole sees very clear the strengths and weaknesses of a student (I had 1 on 1 lessons) and tries to force the areas where improvement is required.
I just finished HSK3 and see myself still as a beginner but definitely want to go ahead and improve my language skills in the future.

Now I had to leave KL and I will for sure miss the language lessons with Nicole (I never really had the feeling I am too lazy and want to skip a lesson). For me she was a great teacher and also consider her a friend after the time we spent.

谢谢老师, Thank you Nicole!

Thomas



Thanks to Thomas for your compliments and i am honored to guide you in mandarin and I am proud to have a discipline and consistent learner - all the best to you, Thomas and wish you well and your mandarin will surely help you in your personal life and career.

Fantastic learning experience and a friend for life!

Hi! This is Shivaji Maitra. I am from India and work for an Oil and Gas service company. I came to Malaysia in 2012 and last year I wanted to learn the local language. This was my own personal project which could not materialise without my teacher - Nicole Peng.

Nicole is a very efficient teacher who understood my learning needs and then proceeded to address them by teaching the basics of Bahasa Malay. As a foreigner from India, who has never learnt a foreign language it was not easy for me to relate what or how I want to learn. But Nicole quickly found ways for me to pick up this language. She was very patient, especially during those days where I was too tired and dozed off on the study table or was too busy to get out of office or when we couldn't schedule classes as I was travelling. Even outside our usual lessons she introduced me to the local culture and let me understand the finer points of social interaction. She is also my unofficial tour guide with her breadth of travelling around the world and in the region. I am truly honoured and extremely happy to have tutored under her guidance. I hope I remember most if not all that I learnt from her. I am sure we will stay friends for a very long time to come. I even got to attend her wedding and know her husband and friends!!!! A big Yeayyyy for her!!

Regards

Shivaji Maitra



Thanks for your great compliment. Shivaji have a high academic qualification in his life experience and have a good memory to learning and committed to the Malay lesson. Wish you all the best in your future undertakings. Really enjoy to share and show you everything during our lesson. Much appreciated!

Excellent teacher

Nicole is a dedicated and patient teacher, and who is concerned about the progress of the student. She focuses on the four areas in Mandarin - reading, writing, speaking and listening, and I am pleased that I have made significant progress in all four areas since commencing my classes. I would highly recommend Nicole to any student interested to study Mandarin.

I had a very high expectation and a certain trepidation before we met with ms. Nicole as we do not have the luxury of time. However, Ms. Nicole was very professional and met my expectation with flying colours. she was very focused on key requirements while keeping the materials relevant for both my children independently. I would certainly recommend Ms. Nicole for long term study of Mandarin in Malaysia.

Learned a lot in a short time

I only had a couple of weeks for lessons in Bahasa Malaysia but Nicole and Ben are such good teachers that I noticeably improved in that short time. Before my lessons I only knew a few words but now I am able to form my own sentences and read signs etc. The lessons were set at a good level for me - challenging but not so difficult that I got discouraged. There was a good balance of vocabulary, grammar and conversation.

Nicole and Ben are friendly and helpful. Despite my last-minute enquiry, they were able to fit me in with other commitments. Communication by phone, text and email was quick and reliable.

My Bahasa Malaysia lessons definitely added something to my trip. I would definitely recommend Nicole and Ben to anyone looking for teachers.

Great Teacher

Nicole, was a very good teacher during the three months she taught me. She is very patient, understanding and good at motivating through the use of a variety of different techniques and learning materials. She was very thorough with her preparation for the lessons and was always glad to alter the class to accommodate my needs. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking to learn Mandarin in the future.

Thanks for your compliment. Even a short period to guide you in Mandarin language, I am proud that you are fully committed to each lesson on weekend. We have done a lot of practices in conversation by raising the question. Wish you all the best and continuing studies in China. Hope that we can meet again and able to do the conversation in Mandarin fluently in future :)

Patient, fun and good progress

I had excellent mandarin chinese lessons with Nicole. She is a very patient and knowledgable teacher. Flexible in her schedules and utmost punctual. She can easily adjust her teaching style to different intellectual levels but within a series of sessions also to the daily moods of the student. She used very good teaching materials and tried sucessfully to push me to really study harder, even to read and write. I was very satisfied with her teaching styles and my results. After the first two series of tuition I could understand and speak already surprisingly a lot.

Dedicated, Patience, Systematic, Easier Way to coaching

Nicole Peng is amazing in guiding me to learn mandarin the easier way. I have been trying to learn mandarin myself at my own pace using software and other manuals but to little success. With her simple methods of pronunciations, i am able to speak mandarin confident to my Malaysian friends and also having fun learning how to sing mandarin songs in karaoke sessions, reading Chinese comics. Thanks to Nicole for her dedicated and understanding in guiding me to sing my first mandarin song & also passed the Official Examination Papers of HSK (Level 1 & 2). Thanks and appreciated! Hope that more learner with non native speaker will benefit from her coaching.
