Students’ Feedback
What Our Students Say
My 7-year-old daughter had such a fun time at That's Mandarin summer camp this year! She was there for 4 weeks and absolutely loved it. The teachers are enthusiastic and do a great job making learning fun. I can see the kids are really engaged in class and eager to participate.
My girl enjoys the program a lot. She made many friends from all over the world. She Got to learn Chinese painting and made dumplings. Her Chinese definitely improved over the program.
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.
