I have had an amazing experience learning Chinese at Nanyang Mandarin. My teacher, Chenchun laoshi, is excellent. She is incredibly patient, supportive and you can feel that she loves to teach. She explains concepts clearly and uses practical example that make learning Mandarin enjoyable. I just finished Level 5A and I feel much more confident to practice Mandarin wherever I go.

Frequently Asked Questions About Adult Chinese Group Classes
What’s the difference between small group and private classes?
Our private Chinese lessons are fully personalized to the individual learner’s pace, goals, and preferred learning style, offering the highest level of customization. On the other hand, our small group Chinese classes provide a structured learning path guided by experienced instructors while allowing for peer interaction and collaborative learning.
Can I switch between in-person and online mid-course?
While we advise against switching between in-person and online Chinese group classes mid-course due to differing schedules, we offer flexibility for missed sessions. You can join the next available class of either format to catch up. Alternatively, a video recording of the missed lesson can be provided.
Are the classes conversational or textbook-based?
Our classes are primarily conversational in nature, with a strong focus on practical language use in real-world settings. While lessons follow a structured curriculum to ensure steady progress, they are highly immersive and interactive.
Do I get a certificate after completion?
Yes, upon successful completion of the course, students will receive a Certificate of Completion from Nanyang Mandarin.
