Yes, we have a pretty large variety of classes, from basic classes  for people with literally zero grasp of Mandarin to classes for the advanced level HSK exam.

Yes, we can provide you with a certificate saying you've studied here, but only if you enroll  for 6 months or more. The certificate is the same as what is provided by Tianjin Normal University. However, we do not offer 2 year or 4 year univesity degrees.

How do we know what class to start with? What if each of us are at different levels with Mandarin?

We could determine that once you came over to the school. You can take a look at the books and see what you think your level is at, and we can also provide recommendations.

Classes are limited to 12, but usually much smaller. On an average day, 3-8 students will actually show up to class on any given day.

There are many times listed for classes: are they same class, just at different times? Or are these several different courses?

Most classes have more than one period in which they are offered. There are many different courses to choose from, (probably around 25-30 class options total, in around 70 time slots). When you attend class would depend on what when the class you want to take is available and which period you choose, (if there are many options).

What is the minimum class term?

There is no minimum term, but you need to study for at least 6 months if you want the school to help you procure a visa. Otherwise, you need to have your own visa, (through work, tourist, etc).

When during the year can new students enroll and starting taking classes?

Written by Administrator

Class terms are every 2 months. Usually at the beginning of September, November, January, March, May, and July, (although some classes don't adhere to this, most do). You can enroll mid-term, but you'll be playing catching up to the rest of the class.
