studied Chinese onlineWonderful Program!
As a total beginner they have been very helpful in learning mandarin and has helped me to learn many survival terms along with important building blocks of the language. I thought with a language that has a large reputation for being difficult to learn it would be take me a long time to grasp it, but the progress I've made in my private online lessons with That's Mandarin has exceeded my expectations greatly.

studied General Chinese"Exceptional Mandarin Learning Experience at That's Mandarin"
That's Mandarin is an absolutely exceptional institution for anyone seeking to learn Mandarin Chinese. From the moment I stepped into the school, I was greeted with warmth and hospitality, and the teaching staff is truly second to none. Every individual I encountered was incredibly friendly and made me feel right at home.
In particular, I must praise my teacher, who went above and beyond in getting to know my language level and creating personalized classes that specifically met my needs. The attention to detail and dedication to my learning experience was truly remarkable.
Overall, I cannot recommend That's Mandarin highly enough. If you are looking for a top-notch institution with a welcoming and knowledgeable teaching staff, then this is the place for you. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, you will find everything you need to take your Mandarin skills to the next level.

studied General ChineseGreat program
This is a good school for learning Chinese. The facilities are great and their program is well structured. The teachers are patient and truly care. The lessons are engaging. Their strongest asset is their app which is easy to navigate. I truly enjoy the classes. I’m learning everyday words that are making my life in Shanghai a lot better. Definitely would recommend.

studied Chinese onlineExcellent Learning Experience!
I have been super happy learning Chinese with 吴丹老师 (Teacher WuDan). I recently moved back to my home country and continued learning Chinese with That's Mandarin. The online set-up and materials were so convenient (nihaocafe) and the teaching style and speed are perfect for me to keep up with my Chinese as well and improve. I also studied with Teacher Wei in person before leaving China and truly enjoyed that experience as well! I recommend That's Mandarin to anyone looking for a practical and organized school that is professional and caters to your individual learning style!

studied General ChineseHassle-free and happy experience
I had a very pleasant and fun experience refreshing my putonghua Speaking and reading abilities with the teachers at Thats Mandarin. All the teachers are professional and are easy to converse with across some common topics and relevant current issues. Their Online learning platform is also easy to use which reinforces and enables ongoing learning.
All the staff there are helpful in our navigation of the city in terms of things to do and booking things. All in all a hassle-free and happy experience!

studied Chinese onlineI love it!
Because of corona I was not able to travel to China. So I choose for the online classes. Kitty thought along with me from the start and offered a good package. My teacher is super, and adapts the study program to my wishes. I am very satisfied and even after three years I don't think about stopping! I hope to visit the school in Milan soon or in China

studied General ChinesePractice makes perfect
I really like the school,the teacher and the materials we use in the class , such as the videos and audios.
the website access to student is great, we can review the lessons we have previously studied.The facilities in the building are great, we can enjoy a coffee break in between classes!That’s Mandarin has done wonders for me and my ability in the Chinese language — not only in terms of my raw ability, but for my confidence and willingness to speak the language and use it in my everyday life. The customizable curriculum has helped me and my tutor to hone in on areas that will benefit me most, and has allowed me to delve into vocabulary that suits my interests and career. The staff are helpful and friendly, and the teachers know just how to spark my interest and motivation. Not to mention, the school’s excellent central location in Beijing! I would heartily recommend That’s Mandarin to anyone considering. You will thank yourself later!

studied General Chinese3 weeks in Shanghai
That's Mandarin is the place to be if you want to learn Chinese. The school is welcoming and the teachers are really kind.
I started from nothing and after only 3 weeks of intensive classes, I was able to express myself in simple Chinese.

studied General ChineseI can only recommend!
I absolutely enjoy learning Mandarin with That's Mandarin, and for several reasons.
My teacher is awesome (I won't share his name otherwise he will be even more busy and less available!). The platform we are using to learn is ergonomic, well designed and very useful. The facilities are great, welcoming and with a good location. And the staff is very friendly.
I am very happy with the school!

studied Chinese onlineMy experience
Before starting to learn Chinese with That's Mandarin, I lived in China for almost 4 years, and my Chinese skills had not developed. Now, around 10 months after starting online class with That's Mandarin, I can understand the people around me and I have gotten very comfortable with my Chinese , currently working on HSK3. The teachers including my current teacher Miss Yang are all kind and dedicated to their job. The website is well programmed and uses videos to help teach the language. I have tried other Chinese teachers in the past, but I have never learnt more than with That's Mandarin!
