In the UK, most of MECS teachers are university teachers and native speakers of Chinese. MECS teachers have taught Chinese language and culture classes at all levels to individuals, businesses, media and organisations including government departments and financial institutions.

Mr Su Liqun, the principal of MECS, is an established Chinese language specialist, humanist, writer and playwright. He has published a variety of books including 'Chinese For Everyone', 'Contemporary Chinese Fiction' (Picador, Macmillan); and 'TDR, The Dao of Chinese Grammar' Elementary Book. He also is the major writer of the BBC Mandarin Language Program which was broadcast in European countries in 2004. Mr. Liqun Su is well known as having been the main Mandarin teacher at the School of Oriental and African Studies of the University of London between 1987 and 2007. For over 20 years Mr Su has taught Chinese language and culture classes at SOAS to individuals, businesses and organisations, including MOD, Foreign Office, British Council and financial institutions.

The introduction of Chinese character of TDR is written by Dr Zhou Shoujin, who holds a Doctorate in the History of the Chinese Language and is now Associate Professor at the college of Chinese Language Studies, Peking University.

Some of the exercise sections of TDR are written by Dr Song Lianyi (Linguistics and Intonation), a Lecturer at SOAS with a doctorate in Linguistics who was formerly Chairman of the British Chinese Language Teaching Seminar.

In order to help students develop a better sense of what life in China is really like, and to give them the chance to put their language skills to practical use, MECS has established a number of Language Environmental Points(LEP) including ones in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Suzhou. If you are visiting these areas, tutors from the LEPs can accompany you and guide you. all the Language Tutors come with our personal recommendation. All tuition in China takes place in Chinese, so that the students may learn to speak Chinese with confidence in real-life situations.
