Classes

I can provide a variety of classes to meet your individual needs, see below for more information.

It should be noted that learning will focus on speaking and listening skills (usually considered most useful), with only basic reading and writing. However, if reading and writing skills are your target, let me know and I will make sure this is the emphasis.

If you have any requirements which are not mentioned here, please email to discuss. Alternatively, you can use the contact form, I will be in contact very shortly!

[ One-to-one personal classes ]

If you wish to learn Mandarin on a one-to-one basis, then this is your best choice. A program of study will be individually tailored to your needs, often using text books and other materials to support your learning. Lessons can take place either in the convenience of your own home or workplace, or at my own premises.

[ Business ]

If your business has recognised the potential benefits of having Mandarin speaking staff, then I will be able to deliver a teaching program that will enable you to fulfill this potential. Focus can be placed on 'business' Mandarin, or more general learning if required.

Whether an intensive course is required, or longer term learning, you can be assured that your staff will learn efficiently. Lessons can take place at locations throughout the South East, including London. Contact me to discuss your requirements.

[ Group Classes ]

If you would prefer to learn Mandarin in a group, keep checking this page for details of future group classes. If you wish to be contacted when schedules are finalised, contact me expressing your interest.

Levels :

However you choose to learn Mandarin, whether in a group or individually, you can rest assured that you will be learning at a level appropriate to your ability. As a guide, levels are broadly arranged as follows:

[ Beginner ]

Designed for those people who have a little or no knowledge of Mandarin. A firm grounding in pronunciation will be given before moving on to conversational skills.

[ Intermediate ]

If you already have some Mandarin ability and are ready to move on to the next level, the intermediate level will be for you. More complex grammar will be introduced, along with a wider variety of vocabulary.

[ Advanced ]

An advanced student of Mandarin may wish to focus on reading and writing skilld now that their speaking and listening have been developed. Greater understanding of the language, including the cultural background to it will be achieved. The path that advanced learning takes can also be influenced by the interests and aspirations of the learner.
