Speed Mandarin

Speed Mandarin’s roots go back to 2004. After the founder, Grace Khoong, did research on the human brain, she realized there was an easier way to learn Mandarin, and started developing Speed Mandarin, a revolutionary Mandarin learning system.

The purpose of Speed Mandarin is to teach people Mandarin in the fastest and easiest way possible, regardless of race, ethnicity, or background!

It is built on brain-based principles to optimize learning speed. Our system has been proven effective by our many students who pick up the language with ease and little effort.

Grace Khoong, founder

Grace Khoong is a dedicated and charismatic trainer, filled with fun, energy, and warmth. She gets learners to learn Mandarin so easily that they can’t thank her enough.

Truly, her program is highly effective due to her character as a passionate and dedicated researcher. She makes sure that her researches yield results based on scientific principles.

In fact, Grace is a graduate in Biochemistry (minoring in nutrition). Her final year project on Cultivation and Analysis of Ganoderma lucidum (Lingzhi Mushroom) was awarded the Best Biochemistry Project of the Year in Universiti PutraMalaysia.

It was featured in newspapers such as the Star, New Straits Times, Sin Chew Daily, Nan Yang Siang Pao, China Press, and a few agricultural magazines.

 

When Grace noticed that the teaching system for Mandarin as a second language lacks flexibility and simplicity, she started developing a system that was easy, effective, fast, and fun!

After the development, the system has been tested by many learners, who have found it to be truly effective.

Not only is she skilled in Lingzhi and Mandarin research, but she has also done well in brain-development research for children too.

After her first child, Gloson Teh, was born, she trained him up as an all-rounder, multitalented genius whom the Prime Minister of Malaysia called to meet in 2009.

To train Gloson, Grace used all her knowledge on brain mechanism, genetic influences, psychology, nutrition, physical aspects of the human body, and environmental factors that influence the learning process and the well-being of humans.

Grace’s Credentials:

1991	Biochemist· Cultivation and analysis of Ganoderma lucidum, thesis project· Awarded “Best Biochemistry Project of the Year” in Universiti Putra Malaysia.· Receipient of Lavoiser Award (for top biochemistry students)· Dean’s List student · Studied French and Japanese (also photography, psychology, and marketing), and experienced that using English alphabets to study a second or third language is not really a good method
1992-1998	Trainer and Speaker· Spoke on nutritional products for various direct selling companies· Within 6 months, acquired 2,000 members in her network in COSWAY (1996)· Appointed by David Ho from Hovid as 001 to set up a new direct selling company (1998)
1999-Present	Children Brain Science Researcher & Teacher· Started developing whole brain learning programs.· Used her program to teach her son Gloson, who consequently gained press attention for being gifted Age 1: Reading Mandarin & English (NST, Sin Chew, China Press) Age 3: Performing his talents on stage (Utusan) Age 4: A computer genius (The Life Post) Age 6: Multitalented genius (China Press) Age 11: Talented blogger and poet (The Star, NST, Malay Mail, Sin Chew, Guang Ming, Nanyang, Utusan, Berita Harian) . Scientific Researcher · Studied brain mechanisms · Devises the methodology of learning a second language based on her knowledge on brain mechanism · Evaluates the result of the methodology used *Even Mandarin professors wouldn’t be able to create a brain-based program because they are not equipped with brain mechanism knowledge. In Malaysia, courses related to children are merely Early Childhood Education offered at certificate and diploma; started around 2004. The courses do not study brain mechanism in children or adults in detail. So, brain mechanism is a scarce knowledge for Malaysians.
2000-2004	Children Brain Science Researcher & TeacherHere is the list of the modules Grace used to teach children aged 1-6:1. Alpha wave brain stimulation2. Visualization3. ESP (extrasensory perception) 4. Creative thinking 5. Music mastery 6. Mind mapping 7. Linking memory 8. Photographic memory 9. Imagination 10. Speed listening 11. IQ test and left brain training 12. Genius Mandarin 13. Genius phonics
2000	· Opened a home-based whole brain learning centre in Ipoh, Perak, where she teached and imparted right and left brain techniques to children
2001	· Opened a whole brain learning centre in Pandan Jaya, Kuala Lumpur
2002-2004	· Opened a whole brain learning centre in Damansara Utama, Petaling Jaya, Selangor· Created and sold flashcards VCDs to COSWAY (M) SDN BHD to teach vocabulary to children and stimulate their right brain
2003	Speaker On Whole Brain Learning· Gave talks on whole brain learning in the office of Nanyang Siang Pau
2004-Present	Mandarin Teacher· Started to research and develop Speed Mandarin after some parents encouraged her to teach their children Mandarin· Used all her knowledge and experience on brain mechanism and the whole brain learning process to develop the best system there is· Taught many students, whatever race, ethnicity, or background, to learn Mandarin successfully in the shortest time (Watch her students read Mandarin)
