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 have been going to That's Mandarin for the last 3 years. Coming to China as an intermediate learner I found it hard to fit into group classes so I have always taken one-on-one classes. After a few months of regular classes using video lessons, my spoken Chinese really improved. After that, I used the school to help me prepare for HSK 4 and 5 exams. I really like the campus and use of technology to save class notes or keep track of my class schedule. The teachers are always friendly and also help me with questions about living in China.

My wife and I have been going to That's Mandarin for the past 2 years. It is considered to be the best school in Beijing among many expats who tried many schools.
All the teachers and staff are extremely professional and at the same time happy and flexible. The fact that everything you learn goes straight into your web account so you have access to it at all times is a huge advantage.
Another huge plus is that the Great Leap Brewery is about 40 steps away...

I really believe that their one-on-one intensive program can help make a difference in one’s Chinese language performance- my family and I have already come back to this school three times because of that. The last time I took the course I saw large improvements in my speaking confidence and my ability to recognize characters that were commonly used, but not taught in a typical school syllabus. The lessons were very relaxed and informal which makes them more engaging because you get to determine what you want to learn. I recommend it to anyone who is serious about improving their Chinese.

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.

Totalmente recomendable. Llevo 6 semanas estudiando en That's Mandarin y estoy encantada. Destacaría la variedad de programas y su gran adaptabilidad. Sea cual sean tus necesidad o horarios seguro que encuentras una fórmula que te convenga. Además su programa de estudio es muy dinámico y su plataforma on-line te permite revisar fácilmente lo estudiado.
A parte de todo lo académico, la escuela se encuentra en una zona muy céntrica de Shanghai i al lado de la estación de metro; tiene una ambiente relajado con zonas para tomar café y que te permiten conocer gente de todo el mundo.

Hello~ I have been here now for about three months. It was great experience, of course it was very good choice to decide here to learn chinese. Even though it was very short time to learn one language, but I'm quite satisfied here. Now, I can understand and have a chat with Chinese, even though it's very simple. During our class, we keep talking with various kinds of subject, so if you dicide here, I'm sure this will be unregrettable choice. I'm highly recommending here for you, if you are addressing studying Chinese in Shanghai.
Thanks.read more

Tha's Mandarin has been an excellent center for learning chinese. This is the third school I have tried in Shanghai, and the only one I have actually been able to learn with. The classes are group classes small and well tailored to the students ability. The intensive summer intensive program for HSK1 was excellent and allowed me to be successful on my first examination. I highly recommend this program for anyone looking to learn the language! The online program access is also one of the best online platforms for language learning I have used.
The staff at the school are incredibly helpful, and really work to tailor the programs to meet your needs.read more

That`s Mandarin is located just next to Jing`An temple. It is a very centric place from where you can go to any other place in the city. Besides, it is sorrounded by many restaurants and bars where locals and foreigners mix. Regarding the lessons, the intensive course is designed for very small groups (5 people max.) which is very convenient to practice you Chinese with the teacher. Classes focus on speaking and listening, which is perfect to make you Chinese speaking skills more fluent. In general the ambient is cool and very young, so you can meet people from around the world easily. I highly recommend That`s Mandarin!read more

I am thoroughly enjoying the Mandarin classes I'm taking at That's Mandarin School, Beijing. I'm in a two to one class. Very interactive. Our instructor is patient, laughs with us gives us verbal & visual cues to help us remember the tones and how to say words. The best part is when you start to identify the tones on your own. 🙂read more

I've been studying at That's Mandarin since March 2017. After studying at university in the UK I had a good grasp of grammar and reading/writing but my listening and speaking were pretty poor! After two months of classes I feel much more confident and I really look forward to my twice-weekly classes. I learn with another student of similar ability and our teacher tailors our classes to our interests, teaching us useful vocabulary for our daily lives as well as vocab/grammar/structures necessary if we want to take any of the official exams. Everyone at That's Mandarin is very friendly and I really enjoy studying here - I believe it's money well spent.read more

I signed up for 20 1-to-1 lessons and they were all fantastic; really well organised, enjoyable and, because of the type of lesson I signed up to, incredibly flexible. I was able to fit my lessons around a very busy working and social schedule, and my Mandarin ability - speaking, listening, and reading - have all progressed a huge amount over the past few months as a direct result of these lessons. I would highly recommend That's Mandarin to anyone looking to advance their understanding of this language. The course fees are a little on the expensive side, but definitely worth it. Furthermore, their in-class computer software means that there's no need to take notes during class, so your focus is entirely on listening and speaking. Thank you so much for everything!read more

안녕하세요
중국에서 중국어 학습을 위한 중국어학원That`s Mandarin에 대해서
소개하고자 글을 올립니다.
우리 가족 3명은 이번에 중국어를 배우기 위해
북경 산리툰에 위치한 That`s Mandarin 에서 2달 정도 공부하였습니다.
모든 과정은 개개인의 레벨과 속도에 맞게 개인 수업으로 진행되었으며
특히 교사진들의 뛰어난 수업진행은 배움의 속도를 증가시켰으며
8살과 6살된 두 딸아이들의 중국어 실력은 월등하게 좋아졌습니다.
두 아이들뿐만 아니라 저 역시 북경에서 집같은 편안함으로 공부할 수 있었을 뿐만 아니라 최소시간으로 최대효과를 보게 해 준That`s Mandarin 에 아주 감사한 마음으로

Wow what a great experience and excellent school! I arrived in China with no ability to speak mandarin, but a very intense work schedule with limited time. However within a year I have gone from understanding nothing to being able to hold basic conversations, get around town and understand the majority of what is said to me. Not only have I grasped the basics quick but just passed my HSK 2 examinations. Apart from the great teaching techniques, it has a wonderful atmosphere with attentive, courteous staff, who make the experience a memorable one and are very flexible when it comes to changing class schedule etc. They also hold cultural events every now and again which are really fun to partake in and another great experience! I highly recommend studying through That's Mandarin you won't be short changed or disappointed!read more

I started classes with That's Mandarin my first week in Shanghai. Their instructors have a lot of energy and enthusiasm, and I like how the one-on-one lessons develop organically. I can come in to class, inspired by something that happened that day (for example, needing to buy a scooter/how to order food over the phone/how to ask for directions), and the lesson can be tailored to what is most relevant to me on a daily basis. This flexibility is really useful for me, since I am working full-time, and need to be as efficient as possible with my time. I'd highly recommend That's Mandarin!read more
