"Live Mandarin^TM" - The most effective language learning

"I am so proud of myself that I can introduce myself in Mandarin on my first class."

"My teacher gives us a lot of time and opportunities practicing in class."

"We only learn things that are relevant to real life situations."

"Our teacher teaches at our level, making sure we follow baby-steps to progress."

"The atmosphere is very friendly and the class is very engaging and fun."

These are what our adult students said about our program. Led by instructor Amy Hong, Toronto Mandarin School has developed a very effective and practical methodology of teaching---"Live Mandarin TM". The unique approach emphasizes "Interaction", "Real life situation" and "Feedback", to ensure students focusing on "Communication" rather than "vocabulary" and "grammar". Students will experiment the language with "real people" in "real situations" role-played by the instructor and classmates. As a result, student will learn faster and grow in confidence, and thus get motivated to do better.

Most commonly made mistakes of language teaching is the teacher are trying to explain too much, leaving students no time to "digest" and re-apply in different context. At Toronto Mandarin School, our instructors are native language experts who are trained to teach at students' levels, create opportunities for students to practice, provide instant feedbacks, encourage students to speak and enjoy themselves. In no time, students realize that they have grown in so much confidence and they can do much more than they thought they can.

Chris, a fourth year engineering student from U of T, has becoming a fluent Mandarin speaker and reader in less than a year. Dov, a fund analyst from RBC, has achieved conversational fluency after 100 hours instruction. From Trevor, Grieg, George to Chris, we have many successful stories that prove "Live Mandarin TM" delivers real results.
