Great Teachers

Great Responsibility.

Native Chinese Speakers

If you want to learn Mandarin, learn from native Chinese speakers. Our teachers grew up speaking standard Mandarin Chinese (putonghua). No small village accents, no Beijing accent.

Top U.S.  Graduate Schools

Only the best will do. Our teachers are all graduated from the best U.S. universities with degrees in education or related field. A teacher who understands the importance of education and commitment is one who will also make an effort to educate.

Must love kids.

At the end of the day, if you're not having fun, you're not going to learn much. It's important to us that all our teachers love kids, teaching kids, and having fun while doing so.

Curriculum Design

Our teachers have extensive experience with curriculum design, lesson plan design, and activity creation -- meaning that what's happening in class is intentional teaching and learning, while being age-appropriate and fun.

Mastery Learning

The best way to learn.

Whether you're taking a Mandarin class for kids or Advanced Physics for Science Majors it doesn't make sense to keep teaching new concepts when the previous ones haven't been quite grasped. We make sure kids understand what they're learning before moving on.
