TenWest is a private language immersion school that provides Mandarin Chinese Education for international students and English Language Education for native Chinese speakers. The school is located in "The Spring City," the affectionate name given to Kunming. Founded in 2006, TenWest has quickly become one of the most trusted schools of its kind in Yunnan Province. It is one of a handful of private
schools in Kunming licensed to teach Chinese as a second language to international students and provide student visas to all international students. Through many years of outstanding performance, TenWest has earned students’ and parents’ trust and support. We've won a couple of awards too. Many of our English language students have gone on to study in English speaking universities across the globe. We think you will find that TenWest is much more than a language school. Our teachers often act more as facilitators than traditional teachers, and our headmaster, Albert Yang, can often be seen chatting with students or taking them out to lunch. TenWest has been described by both the teachers and students as feeling like a family. We hope you will agree! Courses offered
