Why Study at the Astar Education Institute ?
Effective
Teaching Methods
Whether conducting business or study in Beijing or Washington D.C.
Astar language and culture classes are geared to help you communicate
and negotiate in the business or educational world by conveying respect
for that society.
Convenience
When students study in the Astar Evening Flextime classes, they
have a unique opportunity to study at their own pace and come to lessons
whenever it is most convenient for them. This is a great service for busy
people who need to have a flexible study program. Our other study programs
also offer students regularly scheduled classes at very convenient morning,
afternoon, evening and weekend times.
Friendly,
Professional Teachers
Astar Education Institute instructors are experienced and highly
qualified. We require a minimum of a U.S. Bachelors degree or equivalent
and specialization or professional experience in the classes they teach.
Most have a Master¡¯s degree or higher. Our teachers understand the difficulties
learners face because they have been language learners and test takers
too! To make sure our teachers are using the right approach, we also provide
class evaluation forms to continually improve our services with student
input.

Astar hires experts in Chinese or American culture
to help your organization succeed in the cultural environment of the new
market you are entering or educational programs you are seeking to develop.
Whether your company is opening a new office or study program in Beijing
or Washington, Astar¡¯s expert cultural informants can help you establish
your presence and conduct business in a culturally sensitive way.
