Programs for Adults

Teaching Mandarin is our expertise and our passion. Toronto Mandarin School has developed a unique and effective methodology – Live MandarinTM, as well as training materials for teaching Mandarin Chinese in a western context, to guarantee our clients rapid progress and accurate speaking ability. We teach Putonghua, Simplified Characters and Pinyin, using the language system of Mainland China.

What is usually seen in other language learning:
  • The traditional “Follow me and say” drill practice is stressful and not fun.
  • Large classes do not provide direct and individual feedback.
  • On-line learning lacks human contact and feedback.
  • Listening to CDs at home cannot provide instant correction.
  • Too much material is given at one time, but only a little can be retained.
Why our program is different:
  • We teach Mandarin for practical usage. Learn it today and use it today!
  • The classes are very small & intensive, with only 3-5 students in a group.
  • The teachers are highly experienced, native speaking language experts.
  • The curriculum is systematically applied, ensuring steady improvement.
  • The method is lively and innovative, guaranteeing quick results.
  • Your unique needs are properly addressed, by providing a wide range of options.
  • We provide added-value services:
    • Free assessment
    • Free trial class
    • Free make-up lessons
    • Free practice sessions
    • Free language exchange with native-speaking partners
    • Free job referral for those who are interested in teaching English in China

“My experience at Toronto Mandarin School has been excellent. My teacher understands the difficulty in learning a new language and patiently works to increase our knowledge and build confidence. In under a year the progressive lesson plan has allowed me to grasp fundamental knowledge and command of Mandarin. On a recent vacation to Beijing I was able to enjoy communicating and moving confidently about a relatively non-English speaking city. Toronto Mandarin School offers a professional setting and atmosphere for learning. The school has allowed me to meet new people and continuously progress with them.”
