We offer a variety of one-to-one Mandarin classes for individuals who require more flexibility with their learning. We can tailor the lessons to suit your particular needs and prepare you to sit the internationally recognised HSK Mandarin language exam. The lessons can be delivered at your convenience in our offices or as a distance learning course over Zoom.

We offer language lessons: for students/staff and the general public who want to learn Mandarin as a hobby, are working towards an exam, need it for work, or thinking about travelling to China. Your first consultation session is free, after which the Institute charges £25 per hour for the general public, £20 per hour for ¾«¶«´«Ã½ staff and £15 per hour for ¾«¶«´«Ã½ students.
