I had been looking for Business Chinese lessons for some time and eventually decided upon ELN after a recommendation from a friend. Had my lessons with Faye and appreciated that there was flexibility for customisation to my specific industry and needs. I attended a total of 12 lessons and met my goals to improve my conversational and reading skills. Our lessons involved reading of chosen articles or reports specific to my industry to familiarise with common vocabulary, language structure, and having discussions around the articles. This helps me to gain confidence in business meetings with Chinese colleagues where I might need to share my thoughts dynamically with little preparation or even host the meeting. Thanks also to Faye as she has many life experiences which was a win-win for me as an early in career person. read less

My classmates and I tend to attend class feeling extremely brain dead after a Long day at work, but she constantly engage the lessons and chapters with games or videos or extremely interesting stories that is relevant for the vocabulary or actions. We never thought that we’d learn or be interested in chinese characters, but they make it so interesting and anyone would be eager to learn. We would always walk out from class feeling extremely happy and content! The teaching method is utterly professional and I would recommend this place for anyone. Thank you so much Claire, you are the best teacher! I feel honoured to be your student read less

With this, I was able to understand clearly and be more interested in learning Chinese. She is also willing to take the time to help us after class if we have any questions. Lisa Laoshi is an ideal teacher for students who are eager to learn a language.
Also, the facilities of the school are top-notch and the teachers are experienced. For instance, refreshments are provided for us to restore our energy during our break. The duration of the class is just right, with a break in between the class. This helps students to absorb the information better. All in all, Elite Linguistics is an excellent place for non-Chinese speakers to start learning and speak Mandarin. read less

So happy on my experience with Elite liguistic.
Teacher Serene is very patient and i love her teaching method. She makes everyone be engaged on the class.

Really fantastic, now on my fourth term with them, can’t recommend highly enough

I had a lot of fun at the classes and the teacher was very patient. The content was great because it’s useful, so I can already start venturing into talking Chinese when I have the courage. Can’t wait to start the second term.

Small class, intimate learning experience. However class room quite small but great location (paya lebar). Material does get flown by pretty quickly. The course might benefit from slowing down. We didnt practice much tonal sounds. Its actually fine as an introductory course. Cui Laoshi was lovely though.

I really enjoy learning Chinese at this centre, the group size is just right, the Teachers are really dedicated, and the classmates are really fun and helpful. I had hoped I discover this place earlier:-)
Please come and learn with us.

I’ve been learning here from the start of my Chinese learning journey :) there’s a lot of attention for each student and enough opportunity to practice speaking.
When it transitioned to online class, there was a lot of support and very quick turnaround to arrange to zoom. Overall recommend!

They offer a small teacher -to-student ratio and maintain a small class so each student has more time to speak and ask the teacher questions rather than in a fast-paced large class where there are a lot of students in the classroom. The teachers are so helpful and supportive and they are always there to help students improve Chinese skills :)
The materials they teach is very comprehensive, broad and useful in daily life both at work and in personal time , easy to understand and they offer in-class materials for students to actively participate and practice our Chinese and also offer supplementary learning materials which we can use beyond classroom.
It’s also great that Elite Linguistic Network has classes in both Bugis and Jurong areas so students has options to choose from depending on which location is more convenient and the course fee is reasonable and affordable compared to many other language schools in Singapore. read less

She would always tailor the learning experience to our needs, which was great to engage us. Regarding the course itself, the only thing I'd suggest is that you make the online parts of the lessons available for the students (the ones prof project on the screen and the listening portions from the book). Most of the time they contain extra information than the book, and if I had access to this content I would be able to learn even more. Overall, we're super happy with the experience. read less

Cannot recommend this place, and my instructor Hendri, enough. Hendri was collaborative, easy to work with and very flexible. He was instrumental in my passing my HSK Level 2 Exam. Thanks ELN!

The class is small. Usually 4 to 6 students. Li Ping Laoshi is very patient, understanding and very knowledgeable.
Apart from mandarin language, she explains Chinese culture as well, which is extremely important for the understanding of the subject. School is quite flexible and accommodating on the schedules. if I missed a class, I could get time from teacher to cover the missed part, and in case of online class (due to covid restrictions), I could get the recorded sessions.
I am very happy, will be continuing further certainly. read less

Fully recommended! ELN was recommended to me by an ex-teacher. I started as a full beginner in a group class and the teachers/classes have always been of high quality and super engaging. The school has also been showing flexibility with scheduling, frequency and such to fit the group needs.

I attended the Term 4 conversational chinese course only. The classes are fun and easy to understand. The teacher (Jie An) was also very friendly, helpful and helped me to understand the lessons better. Its also flexible for working adults like myself.

100% recommended! The teacher is patient and interesting, and the groups are the perfect size

There are a few branches so pretty convenient. Now, I move to Bugis branch near my place. The class is small. Only 3-6 students so far. The teacher is kind and very knowledgeable about the grammar. Different teacher has different character though. I have learned with 2 only but all good. During COVID-19 phase, we change to learn online for a few weeks with a free extension week so it's quite fair. read less

The teacher can tailor the class to the students needs and is able to keep the class interesting, probably learned much more here during 3 months than in my previous school for 9 months.
