Children’s Mandarin Tutoring (Ages 7–13)

Would you like your child to learn Mandarin the fun way? Children’s tutoring at MLC gives students a chance to team up with tutors and practice speaking, reading, and writing through interactive activities.

Lessons may include card games, drawing, painting, reading short stories, and simple dialogues. These classes are perfect for children who may be too young to study independently — by doing activities and having fun, they pick up Mandarin naturally and begin using it in real phrases.

  • Recommended ages: 7–13
  • Focus on listening, speaking, and basic reading & writing
  • Games and art projects integrated into lessons
  • Homework that is short, clear, and age-appropriate
