That's Mandarin continues to be the most intensive and cost effective Chinese language program available. We offer various courses for all language levels and all time periods.
Our schools are based in the heart of Beijing's student district, Wudaokou; and in the Central Business District (CBD).
Unlike most language programs where, to minimize overhead expenses teachers are hired seasonally or part-time, That's Mandarin only hires full time teachers. Our teachers are here for the long term and so are able to develop a strong understanding of their students and guide them to fluency. This provides a consistently high quality language program for serious students.
Semester Program: Daily classes structured over a period of 18 or 9 weeks.
Part time Program: If you are studying or working in China we can find times suited to your schedule.
Specialized Classes: We can tailor courses in specialized areas like Economics, Law, Business, I.T., Journalism, HSK …
Corporate Program: We design courses based upon an initial consultation with your company - whether it be survival Mandarin, or highly specialised vocabulary required for your employees to work in China.
Internet Tutoring: Learn Chinese at your place, at your own schedule with a one-to-one private teacher.
“From my first lesson with that's Mandarin they had me hooked with their stories.
It was like 1,001 Arabian Nights - I had to keep going back to class to find out what happened to the old lady and the famous doctor and the beautiful girl and that guy in the sports car...!
Studying Chinese with That's Mandarin is like that, they'll keep you entertained
while they teach you. They'll listen patiently and pay attention as you massacre their mother tongue in your early days, but before you know it you'll be putting together decent sentences and even intelligible stories one day. And thanks to the fact that they are incredibly picky about your pronunciation, people will actually understand you when you go outside of the classroom and try to communicate. Interesting and interested, that's Mandarin is, by far, the best language training institution I've ever had. Highly recommended."
