Mandarin Zone School

I recently took an intensive Chinese language course at Mandarin Zone. I enjoyed it a lot and plan to continue studying there in the future. It gave me confidence in studying Chinese and I found the teacher very helpful and informative. Although it was a beginner course I found I had little trouble in keeping up. Of course, my level may have been a bit high for that level but I think it is a good idea to learn some basic vocabulary before studying a language. I look forward to studying there again.

I came at the end of my contract in Beijing and they set up private lessons for me that moved at the pace I needed. We skipped over things that I knew and focused on things that needed more practice. My lovely teachers were patient and encouraging. They knew how to explain clearly and how to get me speaking. It's conveniently located near the subway. Despite the fact that I had to commute for an hour, I looked forward to my classes every day! Now that I'm back in Canada, I have the resources (great texts + lesson notes) to review and continue on my own!

If you want to learn Mandarin and about Chinese culture, visit the great people at Mandarin Zone.

I signed up for a 60-hour beginner class at Mandarin Zone. I had no experience with Chinese language. My Chinese teacher was really patient as I started learning how to say common words and pronounce common sentences. We looked at basic characters (Han Zi) also. She even helped me navigate some online shopping websites (all the text is Chinese)! I learned a little about Chinese and Beijing culture, too.
Mandarin Zone was an easy walk from my home. I had researched other language schools in Beijing, but decided to go with Mandarin Zone due to their location, reasonable cost of tution, professionalism and stellar reputation.
I would definitely recommend Mandarin Zone to anyone wanting to learn this wonderful language. Learning the basics will make your experience in Beijing even better!

I've taken in total 70 lessons (class pricing very fair!) from different teachers between June and August 2019 at Mandarin Zone School while I was on a three-month work assignment in Beijing. The school was recommended to me by a colleague of mine. It is very conveniently located at Tuanjiehu subway station. The school features very experienced, friendly teachers who are very motivated and qualified. My teachers adapted their style of teaching as well as teaching contents to my individual learning requirements and I could request changes anytime. This is a very strong point of the school. Every student decides on what aspect she or he wants to focus on. All levels are available from beginner to advanced. I focused on speaking but other but it is also possible to get help for HSK exam preparation. I've had a very positive experience and could considerably improve my spoken Mandarin. Next time I will be in Beijing, I will definitely chose this school again.

Mandarin Zone was a great place to get 1 on 1 private classes for learning Chinese. The programs are really effective and in a month my Chinese was noticeably better than it was before. The teachers are great, set effective homework that get you to practice the important things, and you can tell they are very experienced. It was much better than other Chinese schools I went to in China. There are also group courses which further encourage conversing in the language in an open environment.
