We run Chinese classes in easy reach of Putney, Fulham, Chiswick, Kensington, Wandsworth, Wimbledon, Southfields, Ealing, New Malden and Kingston, but if you'd rather learn online just let us know!
Class descriptions are below. For a full description of our teaching method, please check the curriculum page.
In-person/online 1-2-1 or custom group lessons are also available on request.
Gōngchē Bān (公車班)
Saturdays 9am - Online
Ideal for complete beginners. We teach basic conversation through introducing foundational vocabulary and embedding it through songs & games. We also start to introduce the basics of Chinese characters via Zhùyīn ( 注音) or Pinyin (漢語拼音).
Huǒchē Bān (火車班)
Saturdays 9am - Online
Sundays - 1pm - South Kensington
Ideal for those children with basic knowledge of Chinese or who have completed our foundation content.
We build on these foundations, expanding vocabulary (aural and written) and developing confidence with speaking and listening.
Fēijī Bān (飛機班)
Mondays 5pm - Online
Tuesdays 4:30pm - Putney, SW15
Ideal for those children with good all-round knowledge of Chinese ready to tackle more complex topics!
As well as continuing to teach daily conversation we start to work on more advanced sentence structures, and practice writing via diary entries.
GCSE Prep
Fridays - 7:30pm - Online
These classes are tailored to meet the needs of students who are considering taking (or who have already selected) Chinese at GCSE level.
Taught by specialist GCSE teachers, we use a similar class format as Fēijī Bān but with a focus on building the skills and vocabulary required at GCSE by AQA and EdExcel exam boards.
