Mandarin Zone offers various types of Chinese courses to meet students’ needs: Spoken Chinese, HSK prep, business Chinese, Chinese culture, and specialized Chinese courses. It also runs immersion programs such as homestays, study tours, summer camps, and internships.
I have been attending both group classes (in-person) and private classes (mostly online) at the Mandarin Zone for ~6 months now. I very much appreciate the flexibility to move around between classes according to my personal needs. The teachers are very experienced and knowledgeable and they make learning Chinese a fun experience. I highly recommend this school for anyone wanting to learn or improve their Mandarin Chinese skills.

Just like its moniker, this cafe is very much to the point. None of the eye-catching trappings that make many of its competitors so inviting to sit and wile the hours away are to be found here.
