If you're hesitating to join this school, do not anymore! I highly recommend coming to That's Mandarin (especially Hangzhou school) to learn Chinese. I had the best experience in learning Chinese, getting to know the city and its surrounding. The teachers are very professional and the nicest people ever, always ready to help and have fun with you. The school also offers a lot of other activities (KTV, hiking, badminton or football games). Come here if you want to learn Chinese and have fun at the same time! :)

I love learning at That's Mandarin Hangzhou ! Bessie is a fantastic teacher, the program seems to be on a very good level for me as I am only struggling a little bit - it's not way too difficult and not too easy Cecily was also a good substitute teacher . Love the fact that there are many activities, the faculty is very welcoming and engaging and the schools seems to actively promote a wholesome social culture that facilitates student-to-student bonding as well as faculty-to-student bonding

Surpassed My Expectations - An Incredible Start for a Complete Beginner!

Surpassed My Expectations - An Incredible Start for a Complete Beginner! I began my 1-on-1 Chinese course at That's Mandarin as a complete beginner with very limited vocabulary. I was initially overwhelmed, relying heavily on translation tools and struggling to understand spoken Chinese. However, after just one month with my incredible teachers, Long Laoshi and Erica Laoshi, my progress has surpassed my expectations by far. The transformation is remarkable. My listening comprehension has improved dramatically; I can now understand everyday conversations, or at least enough to grasp the context, without constantly needing a translation app. What felt like "slow motion" reading at the start quickly accelerated after the first two weeks, thanks to their effective methods. The synergy between Long Laoshi and Erica Laoshi is their greatest strength. They complement each other perfectly. Erica Laoshi is a wealth of knowledge on Chinese characters, their history, and how to logically build vocabulary. Long Laoshi was instrumental in building my confidence to speak, using language flow practice and spontaneous conversations that pushed me to use my own words and ideas. Both teachers are exceptionally motivating and followed a core structured approach, which provided a helpful guideline. Yet, they were always flexible, adjusting lessons based on my needs and patiently answering any question that arose. I particularly loved that their teaching went beyond grammar and vocabulary to include cultural and historical knowledge, creating a rich and engaging mix that never felt tedious. It's clear they are not only knowledgeable about the Chinese language and culture but also about effective teaching methodologies. I can wholeheartedly recommend That's Mandarin and especially Long Laoshi and Erica Laoshi to any student seeking a supportive, dynamic, and profoundly effective learning journey.
