Why is your Chinese school expensive? In short, it is not. We save your time and hassle and per hour it's hard to find a better full-service study abroad in China package. Compare programs carefully. We spend a lot of money on each student, compared with many other Chinese schools. Most Chinese schools simply hire a teacher and buy books published from the same source. We have generated our own proprietary materials both hard copy and software-based. We believe computer-based training enhances and augments the teacher and accordingly have invested in the computer lab. For each student we invest hundreds of dollars in Chinese learning software costs plus costs for the PalmPilot. We pay our teachers well (well above average), thereby holding turnover to a minimum and maintaining quality. We demand high standards from the teachers, and evaluate them accordingly. Also our one-to-one tuition with a Chinese tutor costs much more than the free language exchange other schools may offer. What's the difference between a Chinese tutor and a language partner or language exchange? Furthermore, as our mission statement and philosophy states, we believe we give you more value for your money than any other short-term Chinese program in China. If you come to our Chinese school in Beijing with an open mind and apply yourself, we will help you reach the highest level possible, one that can deliver the equivalent of one year Chinese language study in the US higher education system. top ......................................................................................................................
