Learn Mandarin Chinese in China

Course Overview - Learn Mandarin Chinese in China

Our Chinese in a Teacher’s home course is held in a relaxed environment, the comfortable home of your own tutor. This is the ideal way to make rapid progess in Chinese.

Your Chinese course is totally personalised to you, at your level and delivered to your needs. You will be impressed at just how quickly your confidence grows as your Chinese improves: one-to-one home tuition with homestay in your teacher’s home is the most effective way to develop language skills in a short period of time.

You can choose to have 15, 20, or 25 lessons per week with your own private host teacher (each lesson lasts 60 minutes). Excursions can also be taken with the teacher where relevant to the course.

Who is it for?

For Chinese language learners who want to boost their oral fluency and know that an immersion experience will build their knowledge and confidence in speaking Chinese fast.

Everyone has different strengths and weaknesses in languages, so everyone’s level is slightly different. Your courses will cover the core skills: speaking, listening, grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, reading and writing.

Out of lessons, you will have the opportunity to practise what you have learnt, so it is ideal for motivated learners who want to get the most out of living and being immersed in a Chinese speaking environment.
