Course Overview
Our Part-Time Chinese courses are designed for learners who want to make steady and structured progress in Mandarin while balancing study with work or other commitments.
You gradually build the language skills needed to communicate confidently in Mandarin in everyday and professional situations.
In-Class Speaking Practice
Classes are highly interactive and centred around real-life communication. Since key vocabulary and grammar are introduced through our Blended Learning pre-study videos, lesson time can focus strongly on speaking practice and applying new language in real-life situations.
Teachers provide continuous feedback on your spoken Mandarin, helping you improve both accuracy and fluency while building confidence in
communication.

Part of the Daily Chinese Programme
Part-Time Chinese courses are part of our Daily Chinese programme, a structured Mandarin curriculum built around the official HSK levels.
The programme combines systematic language development with intensive speaking practice in class, allowing students to progress step by step while building real communication skills.
Choose Your Part-Time Programme
Both part-time tracks follow the same structured curriculum and teaching approach, with a strong focus on practical communication and speaking practice in class. The main difference lies in the number of weekly lessons and the resulting learning intensity and rhythm.
Part-Time 4 (PT4)
Part-Time 4 (PT4) offers two class sessions per week (four lessons in total) and creates stronger learning momentum through more regular classroom interaction, more frequent speaking practice, and continuous teacher feedback.
Part-Time 2 (PT2)
Part-Time 2 (PT2) offers one class session per week (two lessons in total) and provides a lighter learning pace, leaving more time between lessons for review, consolidation, and self-study.
