We are a bilingual school/studio based in Shanghai that offers tailor-made Mandarin courses. 

Have you ever encountered trivial things that are just unnecessarily difficult: renting apartments, dealing with banks and official documents, traveling. As a beginner, books just seem distant and irrelevant and you just don’t know where to start. Maybe you already know quite a lot, but still get basic sentence structures wrong. You are tired of hearing “this is how we say it, just remember it”, but you don’t know how to improve. If you already feel pretty comfortable getting around and you want to take a step up, but the subtleties between vocabularies are so difficult to crack. You want to be eloquent on more sophisticated topics but could find no one to guide you.

Never the case with us. We feel you, and we are here to help you conquer. Only one class,  you’ll see that we have an established methodology that’s straight-forward, efficient and fun, so you don’t have to stumble in the dark anymore.
