Your child’s Chinese learning experience starts here:
GoEast Mandarin has taught Mandarin to thousands of adults since 2012, and since 2014 to children aged 12 and below. We’re a Mandarin school in Shanghai and online with a great reputation among teachers & students.
In our courses for children, we focus less on grammar (compared to adult classes) but lead your child through conversations, games, puzzles and activities, developing an intuitive feeling for the Mandarin language, and to become conversational.
Our online Chinese courses for children:
Engaging
A language isn’t just learned through the head, but also through the heart. We make sure kids enjoy learning with us.
Tailored to kids & teen
Our courses are specially designed for children, since their learning needs and habits are very different from adults.
Based on research
We entertain to teach Mandarin. All our classes are the result of years of research. Every week our teachers and curriculum designers meet to further fine-tune our courses.
The perfect window for Chinese language learning:

The window of 6 to 18 years old is ideal for learning a secondary language.
Our online courses for children include:
Games
Word seeker, roleplaying, puzzles and other activities. Our lessons are game-based to raise the interest of children and keep them concentrated.
Language immersion
We conversate, not lecture, to always guide children through conversations in Mandarin with the words they know, totally immersing them in the language.
Online live lessons
Live video lessons with their personal teacher to practice what you’ve learned and to check your pronunciation. All our teachers are native Chinese and fluent in English.
Flashcard sets
Several sets of flashcards which you can use to study vocabulary on any device. Click here for a sample set.
Interactive exercises
Kids can take short quizzes, based on sentences and picture. The teacher will also see results and find out what they need to study more.
Monthly online events
We have monthly events online for you and your child to join, such as playing Werewolves (in Mandarin), guessing logo’s, and talks with guests such as photographers and writers.
