Andrew Dudley, Chairman

Having spent 12 amazing years living in Taiwan and 2 years exploring China, I am very excited by the prospect of offering British children and adults the opportunity to learn about the wonders of China through its language and culture. From personal experience, being able to communicate with the locals of any country in their own language can create strong relationships, aid networking and facilitate cultural awareness and therefore take one’s experience to a whole new level.

Douglas Cheung, Managing Director

I grew up in Lancashire speaking English, Hakka and Cantonese. My journey with Mandarin started in my twenties leading to a fulfilling career spanning China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Thailand, Singapore and the UK. I have been on an international school board of governors which gave me an insight into the world of education. I am now involved in bringing Chinese schools to invest in the UK and introducing UK private schools to potential partners in China.

Amy Lu, Head of Operations/Director

Born and raised in Taiwan, I have a deep understanding of both the language and culture of China. After moving far away from my family home to study music in England, I have now decided to share my knowledge and love of Chinese culture with the people of Bristol, where I have made my new home. Whilst living in London, I gained valuable experience in teaching Chinese at the Barnet Chinese Community Association, and I hope to share my knowledge with aspiring students who are keen to learn about the wonderful language and culture of China.

Zhao Hsu, Head of Teaching/Director

My interest in science and technology at an early age led me to study Applied Sciences at university in southern Taiwan where I grew up. Following several years in scientific jobs, I decided to pursue a career in education to help people develop themselves and their language skills. I taught Mandarin to non-Chinese speakers and was a student counsellor at various universities in Taiwan for 8 years. After I settled in the UK, I started to teach Mandarin at OCA Sunday Chinese language school to children aged between 5 and 15; and then at the Bristol Language School to adults of different nationalities for four years. I also tutor adults and children interested in developing their Chinese knowledge and proficiency, from beginner to advanced levels as well as those taking GCSE, A level and HSK exams.
