School History

how it all started

2005

Founded in 2005 in Beijing , That’s Mandarin has established a strong reputation in the field of teaching Chinese as a second language with the motto:

“打破一切常规、交流至上”
“Break all conventions and just teach how to communicate”
2010

In 2010, with the increasing popularity of the online study system, That’s Mandarin created an online learning platform “Mandarin Café”. That’s Mandarin has become the first Chinese language school to combine advanced teaching methods online and offline.
