Learn Mandarin with Dragons Teaching
Chinese has many different dialects, but Mandarin is by far the largest and spoken by over 1.2 billion people in the world. At Dragons Teaching, we have 15 years’ experience in teaching this fascinating language.
While many people believe that learning Mandarin is a difficult challenge, we teach Mandarin language in a style similar to building blocks – first teaching pinyin (alphabetical pronunciation) before introducing the Mandarin character, making it easier to learn and digest.
At Dragons Teaching, we can help individuals, groups and whole school classes learn how to read, write, listen and speak Mandarin Chinese, opening doors to a myriad of career and extra-curricular opportunities.
DragonsConnect is a recommended resource for the Mandarin Excellence Programme.


Answers to common questions
Frequently asked questions
What safeguarding measures do you put in place for your teachers?
The wellbeing and safeguarding of your children are the key priorities for all of us at Dragons Teaching. Every Dragons’ teacher will have an up-to-date DBS check (or equivalent police check) on file with us before starting. In addition, and as mandated by the ‘Keeping Children Safe in Education (2020)’ documentation, full references and overseas checks are conducted on all of our teachers. You access our full safeguarding policy here.
How will you choose the right teacher for me/my child?
We will use an initial demo assessment session to understand exactly where you/your child are in the language learning journey and then choose the best teacher for you based on this as well as your availability.
Can my child learn together with their sibling(s) or friend(s)?
Yes! Providing that the children are of a similar level and age, learning Beginners’ Spanish together in a small group is a great way to learn and is even more cost effective than learning individually.
