Testimonials from Our Students
What can I say about coach Selvi that the rest of her students have not mentioned. Firstly, she gave me, a home maker (I used to work!) something to look forward in the evenings. My life now is wake up, clean, cook, children and repeat. These classes kept me sane, I feel empowered and I was learning something important which I can pass down to the kids and enhance myself if I decide to go back to the workforce. I have attended many a training during my working days. But, this is by far the best I have attended. The teacher who is Coach Selvi, is vibrant, funny and eager to teach and the materials that is completely easy to follow. What can I say to you, that only attending the first class I could string a sentence. Her concept and vision is enlightening. Thank you again Coach Selvi for giving this home maker the feeling of doing something important. Wishing you all the best in everything you do. Can’t wait to join the next sessions. xie xie lou se.

Just rewching the end of Coach Selvi’s 15 day beginner course. It’s a great class for those with no background and even for those who can speak other dialects or are exposed to Mandarin on a day to day basis but don’t speak it. Coach Selvi is very engaging and creates a safe environment to practice and everyone feels comfortable to try. Classes are very interactive even via the online medium. At the end of this 15 day course, I’m a lot more confident and able to have a casual conversation in Mandarin. Highly recommended.
Stefanie Yan
Ms.Selvi’s class is very ideal for beginners. What I like most about her classes was that she has a way of translating words to malay and english to make us understand the usage better. Very fun yet strict in class. Overall I enjoyed my time and learnt many new words and how to string sentences. Don’t expect the sky after 15 days because there is only so much one can teach. The rest still depends on our hardwork to practice and keep conversing on a daily basis. She provides a solid foundation to start moving forward! I would definitely recommend Ms. Selvi’s class!!
Shakti Siva
Coach Selvi is a very dedicated and committed coach. Her presentation is very well structured and it gradually builds participant’s proficiency. Her materials are very comprehensive. Signing up with Coach Selvi is the best choice one can make if they want to learn Mandarin.
