Miracle Mandarin Language School Memo
Nov 2003
The name Miracle Mandarin is from an American couple Paula Desimone and Dave Kingsland, who tried the Miracle Reading program and were amazed at how many characters they were able to master after using Lee’s program only for a few weeks in Nov 2003.
May 2004 to May 2005
Lee Ann and Emma registered the company to run the Miracle Mandarin program legally in Shanghai. The first "campus" on Xinzha road is a shared apartment with only 2 classrooms.
May 2005 to Jan 2006
The second campus was set up on north Xiangyang road, 5th floor, with 5 classrooms and gathered up to 30 students in one month. Unfortunately, the school got notice to move during the Christmas holiday because of neighbors’ complaints about too many students slowing down the lift.
Jan 2006
Miracle Mandarin moved to an old lane house on 90 Qinghai road in Jan 2006 with the help of some students: Paola from France, Harry from Canada, Gonzalo from Argentina. A big housewarming party was held on Feb17. Luoxi, Cheng Na, Paola Caretta joined Miracle Mandarin team during this month. The Qinghai road campus is large and spacious with 7classrooms, attractive with special flavor of an old house and old furniture. The number of students increased immediately and all through 2006.
