Shan Lu, Owner of Milwaukee Chinese Culture & Language Services

Shan Lu arrived in Wisconsin as the first recipient of a full-ride scholarship in 1988 (the first student from China in the tristate area of Wisconsin, Illinois & Iowa), then earned a master's degree in education and an MBA in the US.

In 1997, she founded Best Translation International (now doing business as Milwaukee Chinese Culture & Language Services) and has been providing translation, interpretation, language & culture training services for companies and individuals in the US ever since.

The local community has identified Shan Lu as a valuable resource for area schools and districts across the state as a public speaker and presenter on Chinese language & culture. Shan has done much pro bono work conducting Chinese language classes and cultural awareness programs for individuals & organizations; she co-translated the New York Times bestseller CRAZY into Chinese and published it in China to raise public awareness for chronic mental illnesses.

Shan Lu has more than 30 years of teaching and translation experience. She has taught Chinese language classes in many local schools and culture-related courses at local colleges. She has also worked with many international companies in the Midwest as the Chinese language and culture trainer for their international expats and assignees. Currently Shan also offers in-person and online Chinese lessons to adults and children.

Our Mandarin Chinese classes are designed according to the needs of each student.
