Chinese Teaching Methods

Conversation, Not Lectures
Our classes are highly interactive with the goal of helping you use what you've learned in dynamic, real-world settings.

Small Classes, Personal Attention
You receive more direct interaction with the teacher, helping you learn more quickly.

Native Mandarin Speakers
Your teacher will help you learn correct, standard Mandarin.

Specialization
We focus in depth on Chinese language and culture with the goal of promoting understanding and good will between American and Chinese citizens.

We teach 12 levels for children and 4 for adults. Each level uses our self-published textbook and coordinating workbook. Each level is designed to progressively advance the student's ability while he or she retains and uses the material previously learned.
Our highly interactive and engaging lessons incorporate roleplaying, language games, and music.
We provide regular assessment in the forms of homework and exams to measure each student's progress and ensure the effectiveness of our teaching.
We emphasize the quick development of listening and speaking skills while cultivating skills in reading and writing simplified Chinese characters.
