I had studied Chinese on my own for about a year before I went to Hutong School. Having class for 4h/day made my Chinese level improve right away while still leaving me time for hanging out with the other students and exploring Beijing. I went back the year after so I guess that gives a pretty good impression of how satisfied I have been with the Intensive Chinese Program!
Mi primera impresión de llegar al aeropuerto en Shanghai en el otoño de 2012 fue muy bueno. No tuve que preocuparme de cómo llegar a mi alojamiento o dónde comprar mis provisiones. Al día siguiente, en la Escuela Hutong, me dieron la bienvenida y conocí a dos de mis profesores. Ambos actuaron profesionalmente y me enseñaron mucho…
I first went to Shanghai as a Hutong School student, nothing speaks more about the experience than the fact that I went back for an internship (within their offices!) a year later. Studying and working in China were the differentiating factors on my resume that lead me to the amazing job I have now, and it wouldn’t have been possible without Hutong School´s awesome staff guiding me through my Chinese adventures.
La Escuela Hutong realmente crea un ambiente donde se puede crecer como estudiante o viajero. Realmente me encantó mi práctica de chino a tiempo completo. ¡Una enseñanza muy enérgica y entretenida! Me gusta vivir de forma dinámica y la Escuela Hutong se adaptó perfectamente a ese estilo de vida. El personal me ayudó mucho cuando necesita…
I really enjoyed my experience with Hutong School in Shanghai. More than a simple Chinese course, here you can experiment the language with the help of very professional tutors, participate in many activities and meet many nice people from all around the world!
I didn’t have any idea what to do after I graduated. So I focus myself in my business in México when I decided to start a new experience in China. That’s when I came across Hutong School while browsing on the net. I wanted to learn Chinese but not only focus on intensive courses, Hutong offered me a big portfolio of quality internships where I’ve founded a place on a nice company where I learn a lot about business in China while learning Chinese with Hutong excellent quality lessons. Totally recommended!
Nunca había ido a China antes de tomar la decisión en hacer un internado mediante Hutong School. El apoyo que recibí del personal fue excepcional y se aseguraron de que nunca me sintiera perdido o solo en Shanghai. Gracias al colegio, conocí a personas de todo el mundo y algunos de ellos siguen siendo mis buenos amigos hasta el día de hoy….
Desde mi llegada a Shanghai, sin ninguna pista real de lo que debía esperar, me fui con un sentido mucho más amplio de cómo es la cultura china y de cómo operar los negocios en el mundo moderno. Estoy especialmente agradecido con todos los que he trabajado por contribuir con mi enriquecimiento, así como con el profesorado, que ofreció un a…
Desde mi contacto por correo electrónico, el servicio al cliente fue excepcional. Recibí excelente información y apoyo antes, durante y después de mis clases. Los instructores fueron hábiles y tenían experiencia en la enseñanza del chino y en la adecuación de los estudiantes y las clases. ¡Me sorprendió mi progreso después de solo un…
A great organization that takes good care of you. From day one I was met with open arms by the Hutong School staff, which made the transition easy. They provided an important social structure and offered plenty of social events throughout my stay. Whether you’re an experienced traveller, or spending your first time abroad, Hutong School provides the much needed comfort, and administrative support, that helps you to solely focus on your stay abroad. My stay in Shanghai left me as a more experienced employee, and most importantly a happier person.
