The program

A private Mandarin course that fits real life

KCEL's online program brings the same individual attention as our in-person 1-on-1 classes to students anywhere in the world. Your teacher adapts the pace, content, and practice to the way you learn—not to a fixed group syllabus.

You can build everyday speaking confidence, follow a structured HSK path, prepare for work in Chinese, or combine those goals in one study plan. Classes are live, practical, and centered on active use of Mandarin.

How it works

From first meeting to steady progress

01

Tell us your goals

Share your current level, time zone, preferred days, and what you want to do with your Chinese.

02

Receive a personal plan

We confirm your teacher, class access, available study times, and course focus privately. Schedules are confirmed in Beijing time.

03

Start with a level check

Join 15 minutes early for your first class to test audio and video, discuss goals, and fine-tune the plan.

04

Learn and adjust

Your teacher tracks progress, shares materials digitally, and adapts future lessons as your needs change.

A sample pathway

Four months, paced around you

Every schedule is personal. A four-month, 30-class plan could begin gently and increase once the learning routine is established.

Settle in

One 45-minute class per week for the first two weeks.

Build momentum

Two 45-minute classes per week for the remainder of the program.

Keep it personal

Review progress and adjust the schedule or course focus when needed.

This is an example, not a fixed cohort. We will propose a plan based on your goals and availability.

Class guidelines

Simple expectations keep every session useful

Class access and direct student-teacher communication details are shared privately after enrollment.

Before the first class

Follow the access instructions provided after enrollment and join 15 minutes early so you can test your connection with your teacher.

Cancellations and rescheduling

Please request changes at least 24 hours in advance so the class can be moved without losing the session.

Custom course requests

Give your teacher at least three days' notice before starting a new custom topic so suitable materials can be prepared.
