Program Reviews

The environment is very welcoming, and they provide a lot of attention to my needs for learning the language. I am taught well, and I am taught what I need to use in my daily life. The teacher I have is very kind, and the facility I attend is very accommodating. The online tools are quite helpful as well. I attend three days out of the week, and I have no problems re-scheduling when necessary. The people who work here are very communicative with my needs, and I have had no problem using any of their facilities. They are also in a location that is easy for me to get to.

i think the class has excellent value to me. First of all, the carriculum is well organized to any level of learner. My teacher is dedicated and motivated to teach me. She uses not only the system but also shows me a lot of website, pictures, etc. to explain some vocabruary or stories, which helps me to deepen understanding. Besides the learning system "nihao cafe" is very useful. At any time available I can self study and see my progress, maybe this is the best part of the school. Consultant is only kind, friendly so that I can address any issue I might have. Overall I am satisfied with the current class and school, and willing to continue.

Great school! I spent 2 years learning Chinese the traditional way (with a book and learn vocabulary). After 2 years, I didn't make much progress! But after a few lessons in That’s Mandarin,I can feel the difference. I have an excellent Chinese teacher who has a lot of teaching experience as well as ways and methods for a smooth and effective learning. I appreciate a lot her support. According to the student’s level, the school provides also extra material for additional study on the school’s dedicated platform - NihaoCafe. Useful up-to-day vocabulary and sentences are published regularly by the school on WeChat. This allowed me to familiarise myself with language used locally on specific occasions and circumstances, as the school provides us with useful videos on how to respond to complements in Chinese, on how to cope with lockdowns, etc.

I am really enjoying my weekly Mandarin classes with Zhong laoshi. I feel that, under her tutorship, my Chinese vocabulary and pronunciation has improved significantly in the past few months. She’s so friendly, patient and encouraging. Laoshi has made the classes lots of fun and at the same time, educational. I think the scenario based learning really works well with adult learners. I am definitely achieving my learning objective and looking forward to continuing to build on my Mandarin speaking, reading and writing skills.

I've started many times Chinese language classes, but only ThatsMandarin is able to really teach me Chinese. They don't follow the standard HSK books, but have their own materials online. Video's, texts, listening exercises, reading exercises, writing exercises. The videos are the best ones. You can chose to listen only, or add pinyin subtitles, or add English subtitles. In the texts you just click a character (or combination of characters) and get the meaning explained. Super way of learning the language.

And a big "thank you" to my teacher. The 50 minutes class are over before I notice.

(I follow online 1-on-1 class)

It is the first time that I am motivated by a Chinese school to learn Chinese. It is not always easy, I am not good at learning language, but my teachers are very patient with me. I really appreciate!

It is also nice that the classes are maintained despite the lockdown. It is not nice as a physical class, but the platform Nihao cafe allows me to do exercises online.

Another point, My teachers are really flexible. I very often send my homework late the day before I have my class, but my teachers always reply and correct me right away.

My overall experience with That's Mandarin has been great. Both 梅晗老师 & 张一鸣老师 were so helpful and really helped my Chinese level advance in such a short time. The attention to detail and care they both have towards their student's progress is second to none; something that makes the experience even greater. Aside from the teaching, the website is simple to use and sleek; the post-class review section is easy to navigate and makes the studying experience better. I'd highly recommend taking lessons with That's Mandarin, amazing service and great people to meet!

I have taken lessons with That’s Mandarin for 3 years and have found the teachers of consistent high quality though the years. All my teachers are very good. They are not only very professional, but also very patient. They always patiently explain to me every problem I encounter in class. In addition, they will type all the useful contents on their own developed system in class. After class, I can review them by myself through the platform.
In addition, their other employees are also very good. Every time they meet them at school, they will say hello to me.

I've known the program for few years. Me and my daughters started in person classes few years ago while in China and that was a great immersive experience. We went back three times for a summer class prior to the pandemic. Since then That's Mandarin have improved tremendously their platform and methods of educating students remotely and they developed their online platform. The platform is superior to many existing ones and provide the opportunity to enjoy live classes with a teacher, have a personalized content, retain all the class notes and exercises, provide video streaming and extra materials, etc. I am really happy with the experience we have and would recommend this school to everyone that really wants to immerse in Chinese. The teachers are very nice and extremely supportive, oriented to help you learn. The program follows the student pace and is not tied to a particular study book, it could be diversified based on the students interests and learning pace. This is one of the best learning experiences I've had. We currently still continue with That's Mandaring and would love to go back to visit and have in person classes soon.

I really like the school,the teacher and the materials we use in the class , such as the videos and audios.
the website access to student is great, we can review the lessons we have previously studied.The facilities in the building are great, we can enjoy a coffee break in between classes!That’s Mandarin has done wonders for me and my ability in the Chinese language — not only in terms of my raw ability, but for my confidence and willingness to speak the language and use it in my everyday life. The customizable curriculum has helped me and my tutor to hone in on areas that will benefit me most, and has allowed me to delve into vocabulary that suits my interests and career. The staff are helpful and friendly, and the teachers know just how to spark my interest and motivation. Not to mention, the school’s excellent central location in Beijing! I would heartily recommend That’s Mandarin to anyone considering. You will thank yourself later!I can only recommend That's Mandarin school and its teachers to those stuck in lockdown, homeschooling or needing additional assistance.
