🎯 The Problem
You're planning a summer in Kunming. You want intensive Chinese classes, ideally 1-on-1. But the larger schools are fully booked — July is sold out, their premium programs are at capacity, and they're offering you a group class instead of the private instruction you wanted.
✓ The Solution
KCEL keeps class sizes small — and spots are filling fast. We prioritize quality over volume, which means capacity is genuinely limited. If you apply this week, you can be confirmed next week — but we recommend registering early to lock in your preferred schedule and teacher.

Do you offer 1-on-1 instruction or only group classes?
KCEL specializes in 1-on-1 private instruction. We also offer small group classes (max 6 students). We never downgrade students to group classes — if you register for private lessons, that's what you get. Spots are limited, so we recommend registering early.
What if I don't have a student visa yet?
KCEL provides a School Admission Letter (录取通知书) and full course schedule immediately upon enrollment. Use these documents to apply for your X2 student visa at your local Chinese consulate or embassy. We can also advise on visa processing timelines.
How much does it cost?
Pricing depends on program length (2-week, 4-week, 6-week) and format (1-on-1 vs group). Apply online and we'll send you a personalized quote within 24 hours based on your specific needs and dates.
Can I travel around Yunnan during the program?
Yes. Classes run Monday–Friday mornings, leaving afternoons and weekends free. Kunming is the gateway to Yunnan's most spectacular destinations: Lijiang, Dali, Shangri-La, and the Stone Forest are all accessible on weekends.
