LEARN BETTER IN A GROUP
HAVE MORE FUN, TOGETHER
Learning alone isn’t motivating, but learning with others is interactive and engaging. Plus, you’ll make new friends with like-minded people who also love learning Chinese.
LEARN THE SMART WAY
Learning from apps or AI only gets you so far… You need structure to learn in a way that gives you compounding results. That’s what you get in our Small Groups, led by an experienced Tutor.
SAVE TIME & MONEY
Small Groups are $35 per person, per 1 hour session. You’ll make more progress in 8 weeks with a Small Group than studying alone or doing a uni course.
