Want to learn Chinese??

My wife is getting more and more work now teaching Mandarin and Cantonese at schools, businesses and many private students on a one to one basis. She enjoys it very much and gets great results too. All her GCSE students did well. You can find her website at www.chinese-tuition.co.uk and on various index sites for local resources e.g.
Bristol Chinese Tutor

and Gumtree

The students take lessons for leisure, business or academic purposes and seem to really enjoy her friendly and interesting teaching style.

Back to China




The Icelandic Volcano delayed our visit to China by a few days and having already booked a return flight to Beijing, I was less than pleased at having to buy extra flights to Hong Kong! Also had then to fly up to Nanjing for myy first meeting. Then to Chengdu, then Changsa and next by high speed train(200mph+) to Guangzhou.

The symposiums went well and were well attended with up to 200 attendees and I enjoyed the way in which my presentations were received and translated so well by Luo Huizhen.
We visited the hometown of Mao Tze Dong and had some great meals and rice wine which I am very fond of!










Great team of people to work with in each City and got to know the regional managers this time in addition to renewing aquaintenances with the President who is extremely good.




After a weekend in Guangdong we went back to Beijing for the final meetings with Lucy Zhou and Mr Ciao the President of the Beijing company. They took us to another superb restaurant and tea house and to the Temple of Heaven.
