Children's Mandarin Classes 
 in London and Across the UK 

How we teach

2 to 5 Year Olds

Picture an exciting jungle adventure where you suddenly meet a kind-hearted lion on a daring quest to rescue your best friend. Along the way, you’ll balance across wobbly rope bridges, soar high above the trees, and even stop to cook up a tasty jungle feast. Every twist of the journey is full of surprises, giving children the chance to explore, imagine and play while also growing their English skills and discovering the beauty of Mandarin.

It’s a world where there’s space for every voice, plenty of chances to contribute ideas, and endless opportunities to build confidence, creativity and vocabulary.

5 to 7 Year Olds

Children set off on a colourful adventure, brought to life through vivid slides, hands-on activities and creative worksheets that strengthen and re-enforce new vocabulary. Every step of the journey is designed to spark curiosity and keep learning exciting.

They’re encouraged to let their imagination run wild, inventing, exploring and expressing themselves without limits. Along the way, they dive into fun, interactive challenges and join in joyful Mandarin songs, turning language learning into a playful, memorable experience.

8 to 12 Year Olds

At this stage, children begin their journey into reading and writing Chinese in a way that feels playful and engaging. They explore stroke order and pinyin through interactive games, exciting themes and activities that bring the language to life. Alongside this, they discover the rich history of Chinese culture, making each lesson both meaningful and memorable.

Learning is reinforced through a mix of lively group games, teamwork challenges and plenty of opportunities to practise in fun, creative ways. To top it all off, children can join in cheerful Mandarin songs with lyrics to follow along, helping the language sink in naturally.

It’s an experience that’s active, social and above all, enjoyable.

What Nurseries, Schools & Parents Say

Nurseries we work with: The Square Nursery School, Little Cherubs (Shortlands and Sydenham), Union Grove Community Nursery and Nest Nurseries.

“We currently have Mandarin Classes with Mando School at our Nursery and the Children and staff absolutely love it. Every morning they will sing the ni hao song and they pick up the language very quickly. Our Mandarin teacher Yen does a fantastic job and I can see their training programme is very well put together. The quality of the class plans is incredible as they use presentation slides as well as songs, games and stories. It’s overall a fantastic programme and I would highly recommend it, parents go on about their Children singing in Mandarin at home!”

Alex Hunter

“I am very, very happy with my child’s first Mandarin lesson with Mando School. The teacher Mei, had great materials, focused on working on my child's pronunciation, and made a super fun learning environment. I felt the level was just right for her as she is 7 years old and there was activity sheets for her to complete. Mei was engaged and very easy to talk to, I cannot say enough how great a teacher I find her to be and I am very much looking forward to continuing the classes with her.”

Hélèna Theseira

“I was skeptical at first when the school governors proposed Mandarin Classes into the School Curriculum, however having invited Mando School to present - I was convinced their programme would fit in nicely into the cluster of Schools. We currently have Mando School as part of the school’s modern foreign language programme and couldn’t be any happier with the service we have received.”
