Private 1-on-1 Chinese Language Programs

After arriving in Beijing I quickly got frustrated because in so many ordinary situations I could not express myself. The school helped me a lot. I still remember one night in the Underground, I needed to recharge my card, but didnt know how to. The Chinese staff, three of them, were all scared to talk to me. Eventually the smallest and oldest was chosen. When I started to speak Chinese to him and he realized he could underestand me, he got so genuinely happy, it was a great moment for both of us.

That's Mandarin provided me with a full time one on one program personalised for my specific study objectives. Not only were the staff open to my own thoughts on my preferred learning style, the staff also provided my with more scientific-based expert suggestions for rapidly improving my understanding of Chinese across all facets of speaking, listening, reading comprehension, writing and culture.
Working together with the dedicated staff daily in the classroom has been an enriching and rewarding experience and one that has prepared me well to undertake my next HSK exam.

Learning Mandarin with "That's Mandarin" has been a very rewarding experience. I feel that I have learnt so much in just 3 weeks. Being a school teacher, I was very impressed with their teaching methodolgy. It is not just learning from a boring text book like at other institutes that I have previously studied with. I really enjoy the personalised classes where you learn new vocabulary and grammar that is related to your every day real life experiences. I also appreciated how easy the teachers made understanding the grammar which can be a little tricky at times as it's different to English. All the staff including the adminstration are very helpful and the teaching staff are especially excellent. I would highly recommend anyone looking to study Mandarin in a fun and engaging way to choose "That's Mandarin" as their school.

I lived in China 3 years and I attended 3 different schools. That's Mandarin was overall the best one.
I just completed the first year of lesson in this school and even if I am not living in China anymore, I am planning to keep studying at That's Mandarin.
Really supportive staff and great teachers.
That's Mandarin teaching method is almost perfect, they combine in a really good way the grammar part of the language with the every day life part.

That's Mandarin is THE place to learn Chinese!
Staff is nice, always very helpful, super flexible and understanding. Classes are designed individually and each teacher responds very well to your special needs or targets. I especially like the fact that my teachers make notes for me during the classes with example sentences and explanations,so I can just concentrate on talking, understanding and listening, and Review at home what we did in class. short movies are available online on your personal account, which makes it really easy to Review everything. All notes, listening stories and The class rooms are comfortable, you have your privacy and it's calm, each room has Computers and Whiteboards. Learning Speed and repitition frequency is very good, just adapted to my level and review time at home... :)
They have some cool events each month where you can improve your Chinese beyond the classroom.
Additionally the atmosphere (Beijing) is very nice, and all is lovely prepared to make students comfortable and to support their learning.
I have tried other language schools, but the teaching style and professionality here is really great!

The first day I arrived at Thats Mandarin I heard the words,"你好！＂From that second I wanted to give up learning Chinese and go back home. I could not understand what my teacher was saying.And I thought Chinese was hard as a stone.

However, after 6 months it was a different story. I came to China not knowing even a single word of Chinese but after six months, I was able to reach HSK　Level 4 and started learning Business Chinese.

There is only one thing that I realised which made achieve thisgoal - it was the teachers! Young, passionate, dedicated, listening, understanding and continuous improvement are some of the many character traits my teachers embodied. Inside the classroom, they created an atmosphere where you pushed yourself as a student to be eager to learn more and ask more questions. Even at times where you forgot a single word learned a minute ago, they will passionately and supportively wait for you to remember the word without portraying any sad face. I found that really profound！

As am leaving, I will continue learning Chinese most by myself. The foundation in which Thats Mandarin teachers built in me would made it possible for me to continue learning. They tought me the fundamental building blocks of Chinese.

谢谢大家！！！！

I came China and took the opportunity to learn the language. I've learned a few languages before but Chinese is different from them. I had two main difficult areas, tones and writing. I think most of foreigners have similar difficulties.
The school staff is kind and ready to help. It's very important in the schocking mements when I realize that mixed two words which sound so similar (for me, for Chinese they are completely different of course). I feel the staff do all what they can, but an old dog can't easily learn new tricks.

I studied in TM for 4 hours every morning for a period of 4 months when I lived in Beijing in 2012. When I moved back to the States, I continued studying via Skype. I have tried a number of study programs in Beijing and over Skype. The teachers in TM are exceptionally smart and creative and fun to work with. The facilities are in a great location and are very welcoming!
