A smarter way to learn

Study first. Speak in class.

Our flipped-classroom approach means you learn vocabulary and grammar through short lessons on your course platform, then use your time with a teacher to practise speaking instead of listening to a lecture.

01 · Learn on your platform

Follow organised video lessons and interactive exercises at a pace that works for you.

02 · Put Chinese into practice

In group or private formats, practise speaking in two live lessons each week with a teacher.

03 · Get personal feedback

Receive guidance on what to improve, so you can build confidence as well as knowledge.

A look at the experience

Real teaching. Real progress.

“I was in a small group with two other students at a similar level — learning was fun and interactive. Now I feel much more comfortable using Chinese in everyday situations and I'm excited to move on to higher HSK levels.”
