Private 1-on-1 Chinese Language Programs

Before I started language classes at That's Mandarin, I was very impressed by the level of communication and helpfulness of their operations staff -- getting my classes on the preferred days / times and making billing easy. I was even more impressed once I began my lessons. The teachers I have are very good -- they've helped me to learn the basics (so far) of a very challenging language and with their encouragement, I'm keeping going w/ my studies. They're able to be flexible in my lessons so that it matches my skillset. I've also really liked using their web portal to help my studying.

I really think That's mandarin is a good school with highly professional teachers and very good teaching method. I know it is not the cheapest school in Beijing but it is a really fun place, in a center location in Dongzhimen and with a good atmosphere. I am working in Beijing for the last 7 months and since moving to the city studying in That's Mandarin as a part time student. I recommend this school to anyone who is interested in studying Chinese

The one on one classes have given me the opportunity to remember vocabulary that I had learned before and had given me the opportunity to be able to practice more so I can retain what I learn better. I have increased my vocabulary and my communication is getting better since I am able to communicate better in common situations. Even when you learn at your own pace, you get full attention instead of learning what you can when you take group classes.

That's mandarin was something I wish I'd discovered sooner...

The school is in the heart of Beijing's east side popular district and close to my place of work and about 40 minutes walk from my home; It should have been a no brain choice on that alone...but,
It wasn't until a friend let me know how academic and fun the environment was, with teachers who are more than qualified to answer those detailed questions, so I jumped in and discovered it was great.
They were careful to be receptive to my needs and then off we went, I'll admit I felt some pressure, but that's all part of learning and their structured approach was something I certainly needed.
They maintained their commitment to flexibility and open communication for student needs, are friendly, and we had a few laughs digging into the mysteries of this ancient language.
I'll be continuing my classes.

I picked Thats Mandarin because its near my house. Ive studied Chinese before but its always in a big classroom. Thats Mandarin has small classes, even 1 on 1, which is a big help to improving oral chinese. The class spaces are pleasant, the common areas are a very nice place to study and drink coffee. I often come here, even when I dont have class, to relax and study and work.

If youre serious about learning Chinese, I strongly recommend putting down the money for a private class.

I came to Beijing to consolidate my beginner level Chinese and progress to an intermediate level over 7 weeks. Since the beginning I have improved a huge amount and I would not have done it without the support from my wonderful teachers. I tried a combination of one to one and group lessons and found the mix to be hugely beneficial as the group lessons gave me a chance to learn at a less intensive rate and practice a lot of what I had learnt before, while learning new grammar and vocab. I would recommend no more than 4 hours per day for one to one as I found it too tiring having 5 hours per day. Rescheduling class times was very easy too. I now feel confident to continue progressing through self study and a lesson every two weeks back home. As well as my ability to speak Chinese going from strength to strength, my lessons here have made me feel a lot more confident in speaking with locals and travelling on my own in China. I would like to thank in particular my teachers Lang, Wang, Cai and Xu for helping me so much!

I was only studying here for one week unfortunately, but the fantastic teachers took me from a complete lack of knowledge of mandarin to a basic conversational fluency! The teachers were all extremely friendly and the school was located in a hip and bustling part of Beijing. I did 6 hours of class a day, and, while a lot, I learned an incredible amount. Luckily, each class is seperated by a short period of time in which one can take a break. I will definitely be booking more classes the next time I am in Beijing.

I have already taken 70 hours with Thats Mandarin and I have always enjoyed it even if Chinese language is difficult. I am renewing mz contract now and I am takin 80 more hours.
My teacher Wendy is wonderful and so well trained to teach. That Madarin are verz flexible about cancelling a lesson if you cant attend without charging you. Thez are also flexible if zou cant come to school and want to take zour lesson on through skype instead.
