Practical Mandarin:
With two conveniently-located campuses (at Bank Station in Central London and Canary Wharf in Tower Hamlets, East London) Practical Mandarin is a specialist Mandarin language school which provides professional Chinese language and culture training courses for students at all levels. In addition to our beginner to advanced level General Chinese courses, we also provide private Chinese tutoring lessons and bespoke company training programs.

Why Choose Practical Mandarin?


-  International Class Atmosphere
Our students come from different backgrounds in life, and different professions at work. With their common interest in Mandarin language and Chinese cultures, most of the time, they hit it off.

-  360 Degree Learning
During our lessons, our teachers incorporate a lot of interactive media and up-to-date social / cultural affairs for discussion. Students never just read from the books, they speak, they laugh, they do presentations.

-  Small Intensive Training Class
Our regular group courses run in small group from 4 to 8 ppl, unlike University big classes. We focus on the progress of each student extensively throughout the lesson. Our tutors are able to give enough time to each student for their correct pronunciation, to homework and questions.

Practical Language Learning Methods:

With intensive training from the tutors, our students are prone to speak Mandarin with great pronunciation and good confidence.

We focus on the practical use of the language, and social culture awareness in our class, to fit in the ultimate purpose of “speak a new language in real life”.
