A specific communication goal
Such as daily life, teamwork, exam preparation or a particular speaking skill.
Online 1‑on‑1 lessons, built around your goals.
Lesson time is dedicated to your questions and goals. Talk face to face online with your teacher and practise the Chinese you need for life, work or study.
What are online 1‑on‑1 Chinese lessons?
Online 1-on-1 lessons are live sessions between one teacher and one student. Start with a clear goal, or first review your level with your teacher to decide what to practise. Lessons centre on your understanding and expression, with time for questions, retries and feedback.
The format is 1-on-1, while the focus can vary: everyday communication, speaking, business, HSK or other specific needs, depending on your level and teacher expertise. Times, frequency and goals are agreed during the trial and enquiry.
- Start from your goals
- We first understand where you will use Chinese, then choose content suited to your level.
- Focused questions and feedback
- Ask about anything unclear, practise difficult parts separately, then return to full conversation.
- A schedule that suits you
- We agree frequency, materials and a long-term plan based on both schedules.

How can I find out about fees and rescheduling rules?
When enquiring, check lesson numbers, fees, materials, validity and rules for absence, rescheduling, cancellation and make-up lessons. We do not guarantee unlimited make-ups or fixed results.
