Student comments about "Intensive Group" at That's Mandarin
Gabriela
"The teachers were changing. Li Jing was very good, the other one (male) was not so good, but CoCo and Tony were very helpful. The app is very good."
Special note for 2025 holiday season: If you plan to take a course during the high season months of April, June, July or August 2025 we urgently advise you to book as early as possible. In 2024 many schools were fully booked during the holidays and the situation is unlikely to be different for 2025 due to a current shortage of teachers, which affects most schools.

“The teachers are all really friendly and helpful. With the help of the App, course material can also be worked on online. In addition, the material is always printed out after the lesson. At the beginning of each lesson there is a small repetition, which I personally find very good, because this strengthens what has been learned. Every question, including organizational questions, was thoroughly dealt with and answered. Although you are not the only student in the school, concerns were dealt with attentively and quickly, so that no questions remained unanswered. This applies both to the lessons themselves, as well as to the organizational aspects (e.g. app access, etc.). The location is great, directly at the Jing'n Temple metro station.”
Insider tip: “Not necessary. Everything you should not miss will be told to you on site. Even if you join already existing groups, you will be warmly welcomed and introduced. There is a really pleasant and harmonious atmosphere both in the break room (Mandarin Café) and in the classroom, where everyone belongs in their own way. This is really not a matter of course.”
Review details
Other comments I am really very happy to have chosen this school. At the beginning I was not sure at which level my language skills were. But already after 1 day my courses were adjusted so that they were perfect and individually tailored to me. In unclear cases just talk to the teachers, they always do their best to put together the ideal package for everyone. So in the end I had a mixture of part-time and full-time and 1 on 1 classes. So if you can't decide what to choose, just talk to the teachers. It can always be customized afterwards. This flexibility is really not a matter of course for language schools. Also, emails or inquiries were answered quickly.
