Amazing school! The staff is extremely professional and clear, I’ve been tested at the beginning and I’ve been able to start from the right level of competence. I really appreciate the teachers work and clarity, they are really making sure everyone understands and commits to the learning process. If you miss a class, they have a great APP that allows you to always study even on the go. This combination is extremely unique: That’s Mandaring is really the best school in Beijing to learn chinese and meet very interesting people!

I am studying Chinese at That's Mandarin School since September and I feel that I am learning a lot. We benefit from small groups. Besides, the classes are super interactive! My teacher is really professional and she always adapt to our needs.
I highly recommend this school!!

I have attended several Chinese schools over the years, and That's Mandarin ranks right at the top. There are three points that have particularly impressed me. Firstly, the teachers are always well prepared for the class, which means they can quickly and precisely explain subtle differences between the new vocabulary. Secondly, the online system they have makes reviewing what you've learnt convenient and effective. Finally, and for me this is the most important, the teachers are ready to pro-actively correct your mistakes at all times. Many other schools' teachers will just let you speak and speak, without saying anything, even if you know you've said something wrong. My teachers at That's Mandarin are not the same - they call me out (politely :)), tell me where I've gone wrong, and that's how I improve.

I have been living in China for 5 years before starting having lessons at That's Mandarin. My Chinese level was intermediate, and I wanted to bring it to the next level. Since I started my lessons 9 months ago, I significantly improved my reading and listening skills. Lessons are very efficient as notes are taken by teachers during lessons: you just need to focus on learning. The web platform is amazing to have lessons and to review it. An app for smartphones is available to review lessons anytime, anywhere. Teachers are very professional, lessons are well prepared. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. Lessons' schedule is very flexible and easily allow to match with your personnel agenda. I fully recommend to learn Chinese at That's Mandarin.

I am currently taking an online beginners course. Prior to starting this course, I was not able to speak a word of Mandarin. I find the course to explain everything very well. Most importantly for me, during my classes my teacher explains to me the formation and origins of words. This has really helped me to understand and not be so daunted by a completely new language. In fact it has made it all very easy for me. All of the staff here are incredibly helpful and help to answer any questions that I have.

1-2-1 classes are great. I've been coming for over a year, and my Chinese has improved a lot. The lessons are tailored to your specific needs and you go at your own pace. The availability of lessons is very good too, with classes in the morning, afternoon or evening, depending on your schedule. The school recently moved to a new building, which is very convenient for the subway, and has the latest technology. They also have an app which means you can study your lessons on the go, wherever you are.

That's Mandarin School in Beijing has a very welcoming environment, and has staff that make it fun to learn Chinese. I would give them 5 stars for this because of their effort to make learning Mandarin exciting and for their good attitudes towards teaching.

Great school. I spent an entire month here in 2017 studying simplified Chinese. The teachers and staff were very professional and I got a lot out of my time here. Thanks so much for pushing me to the next level TM . They gave a very modem approach to teaching that I found very effective.

Had a great time during my 3 months course with Thats Mandarin Beijing! The classes are fun and engaging, my chinese has improved from mere beginner to intermediate within such a short span of time. Despite being in a group class, Teacher Wen did a great job by tailoring to each of our learning needs. Will definitely be back for classes if I am back in Beijing!

I took classes for about a month with a friend. In that time we got a good introduction to Chinese tones and vocabulary; however, the more impressive feature was getting to know the background of Chinese characters. Our teacher was accommodating with our questions and patient with our mistakes.

I took lessons at That's Mandarin for three months, twice weekly in small group classes. The classes are very personalized as you can create your own vocabulary lists based on what you want to learn. In each lesson, the teacher types new vocabulary, sentences, and sentence structures in an online program that is accessible to the students after class. My Mandarin has greatly improved in such a short time and the teachers have given me confidence in my ability to speak more proficiently. I highly recommend Wen Laoshi for her enthusiasm and ability to accommodate students of varying levels.

Really enjoyed my month of study here! Staff was very supportive and professional. My teacher Ms. Wen (Wen Laoshi) has a great teaching method, and felt even in a group class the content was appropriate for my level. Also had a lot of fun in class and met some nice classmates.

Hallo. Last year in december I started with one on one classes at TM. As at the Moment I can only come once or twice a Month To Beijing I am very pleased the Way all the Office staff handle my requests. Especially Gabriella and Kitty. The learning Methode with the Computer is very interesting. And as up to now I find all the Teachers very helpful and can help you make good progress. The only negative side so far: the Price for the Lessons is quite high. Hanspeter

that's mandarin has helped me exponentially improve my Chinese speaking ability from nothing within just two months. The online account logs all of the vocabulary and grammar you have learnt so if you're pedantic, like me, you can look over it and practice the tones to perfection. All of the teachers are very friendly and always willing to help making learning less of a chore.

This is a great language school. I have been going here for about three years. The teachers are excellent - particularly Cai Laoshi.

I took one-on-one classes (3 classes per day for 4 months) at the Beijing school and the Shanghai school. It was quite a pleasant experience. The teachers are very adaptive and helpful to their students and their learning needs. Although, i was probably learning too quickly for my own good as i learned a lot but found it very hard to completely grasp the thought process of the language. I would recommend less classes over a longer period of time.

I have been having lessons at That's Mandarin for a year. I started off with absolutely no knowledge of Mandarin at all and it was very daunting! My teacher has been the same teacher the whole way through which has made the process much more personal and comfortable. The lessons are fun, interesting and engaging. The style of teaching builds on your gained experience/confidence. If I have ever ask my teacher to teach me something/show me something in particular, she has always been really helpful and positive. She quickly built up my confidence with Mandarin which made me much more enthusiastic to learning it! The admin & organisation is also good. There's no denying that learning a new language (especially Mandarin) is inherently difficult and requires a lot of input from the learner, but the teachers at TM really do help to support this. I really enjoy the teaching and lessons here.

I took one-on-one classes for four months at the Beijing school. The school's atmosphere is nice with plenty of tea/coffee if you want to spend some time studying before/after class.
The teachers are all very friendly and professional. I found their teaching style to be very natural and felt my speaking/listening ability improved a lot in the time I was there. They were also happy to change teaching topics depending on my needs/goals.
If I had to give any criticism it would be that I did not find the online app mandarincafe to be extremely useful and I ended up using the printed notes I was given, as well as supplementing with flash cards and apps like Pleco.
However, overall it was an excellent decision and I am very happy with my progress.
Thank you That's Mandarin!

I really liked the fact that I could tailor my learning to the actual scenarios I experienced. The teachers I had were always willing to help me say the sentences I wanted to learn. Teaching me the proper sentence structure and parts of speech was also very helpful to know. I found it very helpful when one of my teachers encouraged me to try to speak in Chinese the whole time and she would use Chinese majority of time to speak to me even when to explain what a word means. Use of hand gestures and pictures without using English was also very helpful. Typing out all the sentences and words we talked about is very useful. Asking me to translate the pinyin to English and English to pinyin is a good teaching technique. I like that coffee, tea, and water is provided.

Our daughter went to the Shanghai Camp for 2 weeks which she absolutely loved. The Camp was organized in a very smart way without the unnecessary stress of usual school life. On some days in the morning they were immersed in various cultural activities: calligraphy lessons, movable type printing and making fans. On other mornings they went on various field trips like archery and rock climbing. In the afternoon they had mandarin classes which were held in a fun way. They had aural and writing classes which really helped my daughter improve her mandarin skills immensely. Overall, these classes contributed so much to her knowledge of Chinese culture and language. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to learn the language in a short period of time. We look forward to returning! Thank you very much! 谢谢!

My daughter and I just spent the past six weeks in Shanghai learning Chinese at That’s Mandarin School, in their Summer Camp Program. I am very impressed with the quality of teaching, the friendly environment, the amount of fun and cultural learning that takes place, and the friendships that are formed with students who come to this school from different places around the world. We were able to tour Shanghai, Beijing, and Ningbo while we were here as well, so our trip has been full of many wonderful adventures and experiences. I will definitely come back again to continue the learning of the Chinese language and culture, and will come back to That’s Mandarin school! Thank you to all the teachers and staff at That’s Mandarin School - see you next year!

We had such a great experience with That's Mandarin Summer Camp! My 9-year and 11-year old kids learned so much in just 2 weeks. They did the Classes Only program. The camp is very well organized and their teacher was amazing. The camp exceeded our expectations and we'd do it again if we head to Shanghai for another summer!

Our daughter just completed a 4 week Summer Camp with That's Mandarin in Shanghai. She had a tremendous experience. She formed many friendships and learned Mandarin from excellent native speakers. Many cultural events and fun activities were combined with didactics that resulted in a great learning experience. The school is well organized, there are excellent communications and we felt she was well cared for. Highly recommended!!

I feel so lucky that I chose this Chinese language camp for my 12 year old son this summer. The teachers are very friendly and most importantly my son had a lot of fun at this camp. He enjoyed so much culture learning activities, field trips to famous attractions including Great Wall. My son was not entirely intimidated by the difficult language since the teaching method is appropriate to his age and learning ability. I so appreciate teachers’, staff members’ and principal’s thoughtfulness toward kids and parents that made our trip to Beijing a great fun learning experiences.My son told me today that he wants to come back next year again!

Looking for a camp is easy but finding a good one which fulfilled all your requirements is actually difficult. #ThatsMandarinSummerCamp is one of the best decision you will make for your kids. Students from all around the world come here and this organization has become an international exchange platform on which we can all learn and grow from. I am so glad to have been part of this experience. Everyone who passes through here ends up more knowledgeable, aware of the Chinese culture, and full of wonderful memories. I will always remember how much fun we had in class, the late night talks with our teacher and how we made the difficult task of learning Chinese characters into a pleasant game. We definitely enjoyed ourselves thanks to the amazing teachers we had and all the great staff members who are always present to help make this journey the best one of all. Field trips are thoughtful chosen to please the students from a cultural and interesting stand point. I absolutely recommend That's Mandarin Chinese Summer Camp to everyone who would like to learn Chinese and the Chinese culture.

This is our first trip to China and @SummerCampChina/Chinese Summer Camp/That's Mandarin has made it an incredible experience. My children, ages 5 and 11, were enrolled for 1 week and loved it so much that they asked to skip the other activities I had planned for them so that they could go to a second week of classes. They enjoy the cultural activities, meeting friends from around the world and practicing the Chinese characters. My kids are also very particular about the quality of the food they eat and absolutely loved the lunches served at camp. I would highly recommend this camp to anyone visiting Shanghai.

My kids have joined the summer camps 3 years in a row and each time, they are enrolled for 4 weeks. They are still loving it! The variety of topics and flexible teaching have kept my kids (ages 7, 9 & 11) interested in learning mandarin. The website where all their lessons are logged in enables me to followup on the topics they discussed in class & continues their learning at home. Thank you to That's Mandarin for making learning the chinese language a fun and meaningful journey!
