Richard (Tutor)

CHINAGlos is a family business offering high quality courses in Chinese language, Chinese culture workshops and Chinese cooking in and around Gloucestershire.

Chinese Language Courses

Our courses are carefully designed and systematically structured to highlight and utilise those areas where Chinese is easy for English learners so as to build confidence. Right from the start, emphasis is placed on those aspects which are vital for communication, for example accurate tones and perfect mastery of pinyin. Also available is instruction in Cantonese, which will be most useful for learners planning to live in Hong Kong or work with Cantonese speakers.

Chinese Culture Workshops

A language is always best learnt in conjunction with an understanding of the culture which gave rise to it. We offer workshops in aspects of Chinese culture designed to complement and give depth to our language courses and also as stand-alone events for the general public.

Online learning

All our language courses are supported by our own Virtual Learning Environment accessed from our website, allowing you to work at a time to suit and from the comfort of your own home. A free preview is available at [contact detail removed]/.

What local schools have said about our courses…

“Richard has been teaching Mandarin at the High School for Girls for two years and is popular with his pupils for the obvious care he takes in planning and delivering his lessons. Recently he has introduced a bank of activities online to support his lessons, which has been well received by the students. With Richard’s support, many students have gained the basics of this difficult language.”
High School for Girls, Gloucester

“Students from all key stages and across a range of abilities have enjoyed learning the basics of Mandarin Chinese as an extension activity for Sixth-form students and as an evening class for members of the local community. I can thoroughly recommend this Chinese Language and Culture course to other schools in the county.”
