The Conversational Mandarin classes for children are offered at three different levels, for a class size of 3 to 8 children. The emphasis is more on learning through games, stories, music and drama.
Workshops can also be devised and facilitated for your child. Please refer to the Creative Workshops for Children page for various possibilities.
Children 7 to 12 years old (three levels)
Practise a new scenario in every lesson through role-play and games. With the
help of animation, songs, theatre games, improvisation etc, fun and creativity are injected into the learning of the language.
Levels 1 and 2 aim to develop the child progressively towards the speaking of the language in everyday life situations while written exercises introducing basic Chinese characters will begin at Level 3.
Use the classes as a preparatory course to lay the foundation for the
Chinese lessons that you would like your child to take in school; or as a refresher course if your child already has some Mandarin knowledge. The classes are also suitable as an immersion for mother tongue speakers who wish to have a fun and creative environment to practise the language.
Private Mandarin Tutoring
For one or two children (all ages and levels)
This class will be less activity-based, and more conversation oriented. Lots of visual aids and storytelling elements will be used, combined with simple writing work.
Note: Individual tutoring is tailored to the child’s ability and needs – please contact me for an evaluation or trial lesson.
