Learning Mandarin Chinese for Beginners Class 1:1 Ongoing (Montessori)

Please don't enroll in this listing unless you have already enrolled. At the moment, there are no available openings. From January to May 2025, I will undergo surgery. New available opening will most likely become available in May 2025. Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience. 

 This is a Chinese beginner class, it is designed for children who had no exposure to Mandarin in the past. The class is designed to build a solid foundation to help children gain confidence and their ability to read, write, and converse in Mandarin. This means that your child is a beginner at all levels in Mandarin; listening, reading, writing, speaking, and translating. The class is (30% Mandarin, and 70% English). I have designed a very structured curriculum, applying the Montessori teaching method to my curriculum. It is fun and challenging, looking forward to helping your child gain the confidence to excel in learning mandarin in the long run!

The class is not designed for children who previously have a Mandarin background (more than a year) because this would be a different class (intermediate/advanced). This is also not a homework tutoring class. 

If you are uncertain about your child's Mandarin level, feel free to enroll your child in this class as finding the right class for the child sometimes is not easy, if you are unsatisfied in any way after the first class or found that it isn't the right fit, you may ask for a refund before disenrolling. Since this is an ongoing weekly class, you may withdraw any week. 

-If your child will be going on vacation during the holidays please message me for cancellation ahead of time for a refund. Otherwise, I will assume your child will be coming to class because there are students from different countries, and holidays differ for each individual. If your child missed the class on the very first day, I can offer a make-up class. Please make sure your notification is on in case your child needs a reminder, Outschool sends reminders to students a few times before and after class starts. Please note that I will be in class during the full length of the student's class time, if the child is late to class, I will be there waiting. If the child misses the full length of class without prior notice, no make-up classes will be offered.
