About Us
Little Mandarin Education proudly offers smaller classes to provide students with more opportunities to participate in class activities and learn effectively. Our typical class size is from 6-8 students. Even though new technologies are not our primary tools of teaching, we are committed to creating a fun and effective learning environment for all learners by applying a variety of teaching approaches and strategies, for example, content-based and task-based approaches.
Our Mandarin language programs strongly focus on building the foundation of Mandarin skills in speaking, reading and writing. In our class, students will learn practical Mandarin. For instance, phrases and sentences that they can use in their everyday life.
