Student Testimonials
Dear Dr. Tang,
The six months of study with you have been incredibly helpful and beneficial to me. Thank you for your openness in allowing me to practice diagnosis, fire cupping, and acupuncture.
Without the opportunity to practice in your clinic, I might still feel inadequate. However, I have now overcome my psychological fears. As you mentioned, the next step depends on whether my skills are sufficient, but I am grateful for the qualification you have provided me to pursue a career as a doctor.
If you are free, I would be delighted to welcome you to Beijing.
Wishing you all the best!

During my two years of study, the classroom atmosphere was always relaxed and harmonious. Dr. Zhou was incredibly generous in sharing his knowledge, leaving no question unanswered. Principal Tang, with her exceptional medical skills and benevolence, taught in a calm and measured manner, ensuring we could absorb as much knowledge as possible during each lesson.
​
As the Chinese saying goes, “What is learned from books is always shallow; to understand something thoroughly, one must practice it.” This holds especially true for TCM. Drawing on my background in internal martial arts and Dao Yin techniques, and with the meticulous guidance of my teachers, I excelled in acupuncture and tuina (massage therapy). This pragmatic learning laid a solid foundation for my independent medical practice after graduation and helped me successfully establish my own TCM career.
During my studies, I was deeply impressed by the teachers’ integrity and dedication. One time, during class, a patient came for acupuncture and cupping treatment. I took the opportunity to observe the entire treatment process. After finishing, it was already past 2 p.m., but the teacher, without taking a break for lunch, immediately resumed the lecture. I was both moved and greatly inspired by this. From that point on, I rode my bicycle from Timperley to Shulan College every day, rain or shine, never missing or being late for class until I successfully graduated.
In today’s profit-driven world, I believe Shulan College stands out among many TCM schools. It avoids flashy gimmicks or exaggerated marketing and is genuinely committed to promoting and passing on TCM culture, wholeheartedly focused on education.
​
After learning TCM massage techniques at Shulan College, I gained the skills and qualifications needed to start my own business. I opened a small TCM massage therapy shop in Timperley, which not only enriches my retirement life but also provides treatment services to those in need, particularly patients with chronic conditions.
Currently, most of my clients come through word-of-mouth recommendations from friends, as well as some local takeaway shop owners and British residents. My original intention in opening the shop was to benefit both myself and others, and now the business is on track, allowing me to live a healthy life while earning a modest income.
To those still looking for an authentic, traditional TCM school, I would say that in the UK, Shulan College is your Dream School!
