A variety of Chinese courses, including HSK test preparation courses, are offered live online year-round via Microsoft Teams. These virtual classes offer global accessibility, allowing learners from anywhere (especially Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal and New York) to enhance their Chinese language proficiency. Key features include:

  1. Small group sizes for personalized attention while offering excellent cost-effectiveness.
  2. Practical use of everyday Mandarin in every session.
  3. Experienced teachers' distinctive, outcome-focused instructional approaches.

In addition to teaching, Allan has spent the past two decades working as a translator. His translation work includes publishing a book for a Health Canada–sponsored project, translating application materials for CBC/Radio-Canada’s submission to the Beijing Olympic Games in 2008, and translating or proofreading the Simplified Chinese version of the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) website and newsletters from 2007 to 2016.
