How In-person Tutoring Works

  1. Schedule a weekly time. We work with you to choose a day and time that fits your routine. Lessons are typically held once per week, with extra sessions available before exams or travel.
  2. Meet at our office or your location. Many students meet at our Beaverton location. For an additional fee, tutors can travel to a home, library, or workplace in the local area.
  3. Follow a personalized learning plan. We design a clear path based on your level and goals—school support, heritage learning, travel, professional use, or test prep.
  4. Practice and review each week. Short assignments, vocabulary review, and speaking practice keep your Mandarin active between lessons.

In-person tutoring is a great fit for students who learn best face-to-face, appreciate hands-on materials, or simply prefer the structure of meeting their tutor in the same place each week.
