Courses for Children, Youngs and Adults

Mandarin courses are available for all ages (children, youth and adults) and in various teaching modalities from level A1 to C2. Our programs use methods and materials specially prepared and created for the respective age group.

From the beginning, students build a useful selection of everyday vocabulary and become familiar with the sounds and pronunciation of the language they are studying.

Small group classes
Individual classes
Online classes

Annual Courses

The annual Mandarin courses can be 60 or 90 hours, taught once or twice a week at various times (2 to 3 hours per week).

The duration of the course depends on the level the student attends. These courses are available face-to-face at our centres, at a distance or online.

The annual Mandarin courses follow a study plan whose syllabus, based on the Confucius Institute – Hanban Confucius Institute Headquarters program, is oriented towards a solid preparation of students for international exams, perfecting all the language components. These exams are taken internationally by thousands of students, and a certificate is awarded. These courses run during the school year, from mid-September to late June.

We also prepare for the following exams:

The HSK Exam is available to all those who are participating in learning Mandarin as a foreign language, under the supervision of the Chinese Government.

The HSKK Exams assess the oral knowledge of students learning Chinese. These exams are taken internationally by thousands of students, and a certificate is awarded.

Intensive Courses

If you want a more intensive modality, the Intensive Courses have a minimum weekly workload of 4 hours and a maximum duration of 3 months. They are ideal for those who want to learn Mandarin (or any other language) quickly and/or wish to reach a higher level of English in less time, or for those students who want to consolidate their knowledge. The levels of these courses range from beginner to at the post-intermediate level. At any time, students who complete Intensive Courses can be integrated into any other group courses taking place at our schools.

Normally, these courses last 40 hours, three times a week at a previously established time. There are similar programs in Portuguese as a Second Language, French, Spanish and German. It can be in person, remotely or online.

About me

Hello there! I'm Eric.

I hold a degree in Chinese Language and Literature. Over the past seven years, I've accumulated rich experience in teaching Chinese as a foreign language, both online and offline.

I'm 42 years old. Hailing from Shanghai, I now reside in Lisbon, Portugal.

Back in 2010, I went to France for further studies. It was during that time that I began to explore the ways of teaching Chinese to my French friends.

Eight years ago, I made my way to Portugal. Driven by my passion for education, I applied for a position as a Chinese teacher at a local Chinese school in this country. I received my International Chinese Teachers' Certification. Since then, I've been fully engaged in teaching Chinese.

I have handled various class types, including large classes of over 20 students, small classes of fewer than 10 students, and one - to - one tutoring sessions.

In total, I have taught more than 100 students. They include foreigners starting from scratch, such as those from Portugal, France, the USA, and Brazil. There are also descendants of Chinese immigrants who are preparing for the HSK6 test. Their ages range from 4 - year - old children to adults over 50.

I'm really looking forward to seeing you in the classroom if you have an interest in learning Chinese or getting to know Chinese culture.
