STEPHEN TUCKER'S FEEDBACK
The primary School attached to Huludao teacher' training college is one of the best managed and well facilitated in Huludao. With a modern outlook and an impressive bilingual teaching program. The Chinese-English teacher's have a thorough grasp of oral and grammatical English as well as being helpful and friendly. The students are well-behaved and class sizes are smaller than that of most schools in Huludao. The school and its staff help foreigners to adapt quickly and easily to Chinese culture, as well as helping to deal with any problems foreign teacher's have.
