About Us

At Lingoinn, we believe the most effective way of learning Chinese is through stimulating, fun experiences. We were founded by Yinghong Huang, author and university lecturer in the UK, who combines her expertise in teaching Mandarin to English speakers with her passion of promoting the language and Chinese culture to people around the world.

Our immersive learning programmes are carefully designed to best suit learners’ needs and goals, enable them to learn fast. More than our expertise though, is our genuine care for learners. We’ll always be there for you, offering personal advice and support before and during your stay with our teachers. For us, giving you an unforgettable experience is what really matters.

Our Mission

To be the bridge between Eastern and Western culture, helping people from all walks of life to see China with their own eyes and learn Chinese through unique and memorable experiences.

Our Values

Excellence

We love what we do, and we have high standards in offering our students a unique experience. We challenge ourselves on each detail and our professionalism is reflected in the ways we handle enquires, plan our programmes and teach our students.

Openness

We welcome new ideas and opinions, especially if they inspire us to achieve great things. We advocate openness within our team and between students and teachers to help us unlock each other’s potential and thrive together.

Sharing and Collaboration

We think the world is diverse and sharing is essential. Sharing ideas and cultures between learners and teachers, sharing knowledge and resources between countries. Sharing and collaboration help us to expand our perspectives and discover a new universe.
