Frequently Asked Questions
Who are your tutors?
Every tutor is a native or near-native Mandarin speaker. We prioritise tutors with formal teaching experience and familiarity with the curriculum your child is following — HSK, IGCSE Chinese, or IB Chinese.
My child has never studied Mandarin. Can you help?
Yes. Many expat children start from zero. Beginners usually work towards HSK 1 first — tones, pinyin, and everyday phrases — with lessons paced for their age and confidence.
Do you teach adults and complete beginners too?
Yes. We match learners of all ages and levels, from complete beginners and HSK exam candidates to professionals building business Mandarin.
Online or in person?
Both. Online lessons are available anywhere and are just as effective for language learning. In-person tutoring is available in several expat hubs across Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, and the UAE.
How much does it cost?
Rates depend on the tutor's experience and the format. As a guide, qualified native Mandarin tutors typically charge in the region of S$60–S$150 per hour. We share exact rates when we send you matched tutors — no booking fees or subscriptions.
How quickly can we start?
We reply to every enquiry within 24 hours with matched tutor options, and first lessons can usually be arranged within the same week.
