This program is
tailored to Chinese language students who are keen to
learn Mandarin
on
their own schedule –classes can begin anytime that is convenient for
the students and the students themselves can decide how long they
would like to study and for how many hours a week. In addition,
students can decide the location of the
Chinese classes
.
We have three
options for our One-on-One program:
·
One-on-One
with a college student. The
students cannot get the equivalent credits through this
Chinese learning
program.
·
One-on-One with a new tutor who has a license and more than 6 months
tutoring experience. The
students cannot get the equivalent credits through this program.
·
One-on-One with a highly trained licensed tutor who has more than 3
years tutoring experience. The students will be rewarded the
equivalent of one credit for every 15 hours of tutorial by Kunming
Normal University; however, students are advised to first have this
pre-approved by their home university.
Subjects taught in
class are especially tailored to the student’s own needs. Outside of
learning hours, they are free to explore Kunming on their own, teach
English to earn money, or to volunteer through a Minds Abroad
program.
On
successful completion of our program
, students can obtain a certificate from Minds Abroad.
This program is held
in China’s cultural and economic capital —Kunming. Eastern and
Western cultures melt in this unique city, so students will feel
comfortable studying as well as living here.
Program Description
Program:
One-on-One Tutorial Program
Class Length:
From one week to a year. A minimum of one week is required.
Class Hours:
A minimum of two hours per class session is required.
Description:
Our program is divided into three levels: beginner, intermediate and
advanced. Classes can begin anytime that is convenient for the
student, and students themselves can decide how long they would like
to study and for how many hours a week. In addition, students can
decide the location of the classes – they can either have classes at
our school in downtown Kunming or our tutors can go to a location
convenient to the students which in most cases will be very near to
our school as all apartments used for our student accommodations are
just within 10 minutes walk from the school. However, if the
student does not live in downtown Kunming the course fee will increase 10%.
In this program,
students will study Mandarin, including pinyin, tones, pronunciation
and so on.
Students will be
given a placement test to assess their knowledge of Mandarin on
their first day. The placement test will evaluate the students’
skill levels and place them in the correct class.
