Mandarin NOW is a group of professional and experienced teachers with advanced degrees in Chinese education and literature. We continuously explore innovative teaching methods and apply these in the classroom. This means that our students learn to speak, read and write Mandarin Chinese in the shortest time possible.
Our teachers also love teaching! It is their lifelong career and they have the full support from Mandarin Now to be the best teachers they can be. Because of this passion for teaching, Mandarin Now is a fun and rewarding environment for both students and teachers.

1. We focus on practical Chinese: how the Chinese language is really used in China. Because we focus on practical, real-world situations, students can apply what they learn in class to their life and work from the very first lesson. Once students see results, they are naturally eager to learn even more.

2. We teach in Chinese, using English only when absolutely necessary. We have found this approach to be very helpful in accelerating the time it takes for students to be comfortable using Chinese in practical situations and to become naturally fluent in the language.

3. We measure progress and use the results to provide feedback to students. We test students’ knowledge at regular milestones and compare this with hours spent in class and the teaching methods used. This allows students to benchmark their progress and also allows us to identify learning points that may need increased focus. It also provides us with valuable feedback on which methods work best and allows us to continuously optimize our teaching techniques.

4. Our campus is in a great location, with convenient transportation and a friendly student and teacher environment.
[We use technology to support the learning process. Mandarin Now Online and Mandarin Now Mobile are electronic teaching systems that you can use any time and lead to vastly improved language acquisition speed.]
