Private Group/Individual Tuition
Looking for a flexible start date and time that fits your schedule?
Have specific goals or requirements that needs more individual attention?
The China Unbound way helps you to remember more with less hassle
1. You learn the right content
Take the Chinese words for ‘mother’ and ‘cousin’. You can learn either equally quickly but chances are, you will use mother a lot more frequently! That’s why we prioritise the words you learn in order to make the most of the time you give us.
2. Learn the right content, the right way
The environment we create allows you to practise often and benefit immediately from friendly feedback. We also harness the latest technology, digital resources and learning techniques to provide an immersive environment where you can read, listen, speak and understand more.
3. Have fun learning
When you’re having fun, it doesn’t feel like work. That’s the beauty of our approach to teaching you Mandarin. Play-time anyone?!
“The supreme accomplishment is to blur the line between work and play.”
