Program Overview

Program Description:

Omeida Chinese Academy provides quality Chinese language tuition to students from all over the world. We are located in the beautiful town of Yangshuo, China where you can experience the Chinese culture and spend your free time exploring the rivers and mountains. For those looking to study Chinese in China, Omeida Chinese Academy offers students a bridge into the dynamic, historic and utterly engaging China. We have Chinese language programs that meet the needs and goals of students at all levels. With multiple courses and programs to choose from, we offer the flexibility for you to reach your Chinese language goals. Whether you are joining us for intensive spoken Chinese program, attending one of our 18-week academic term courses, enjoying a one-on-one tailor-made course, or working together with us in the volunteer program, you will find that Omeida provides the perfect opportunity to be immersed in the Chinese language and culture.

The volunteer program is an excellent way to keep students fully immersed in the Chinese culture and language, develop new skills, and add some international experience to your resume while keeping the cost of your stay at a minimum. At Omeida, we think it’s important to learn in an enjoyable way without sacrificing goals and results. That’s why our highly qualified teachers use interactive teaching methods and are professionally trained on how to break-down Chinese into simple, learnable segments for all skill levels, ages, and learning types. Our small class sizes (six students maximum) allow us to cater for individual students’ needs and our relationship with the English College means that students are constantly interacting with native Chinese speakers. We provide students with the option of serving as a volunteer at Omeida in exchange for a decreased cost in tuition. The volunteer program provides students with the same all-inclusive package while receiving a discount on tuition costs and exemption from the standard housing costs. In exchange, we require that the volunteers provide some sort of regular service to the school. The program ensures you have plenty of time off to explore the surrounding countryside. Your weekends are completely free for your own adventures, or you can join us on one of our Saturday excursions. We offer a number of complimentary services and activities to ensure our students have an enjoyable and stress-free experience. Our package includes: • Chinese Visa assistance and invitation letter • Relevant textbooks and learning materials • Daily language exchange with a native Chinese speaker • Introductory tour of Yangshuo • Weekly social night • Fortnightly cultural lesson • Weekend outings Students can also choose an all-inclusive package which includes accommodation (with hot water, air-conditioning, heating, internet access, washing machine) and meals (lunch and dinner) at the school canteen.
