Quality Teaching

At Hutong School, we believe that student-centred learning is the key to fast and effective results. That’s why we keep our group classes small and offer our students a personalised study plan, free tutorial sessions, and access to an e-learning toolkit to complement their learning. Our team of highly qualified native Chinese teachers have been carefully selected based on their extensive teaching experience and solid educational background. Many have taught abroad, and all have an exceptional understanding of cultural differences. They understand the difficulties students face when learning Chinese and skilfully adapt their classes to suit different interests, levels, and aims.

Our 12+ years’ experience teaching Chinese has inspired us to develop an award-winning teaching methodology that’s been proven to speed up the learning process. By immersing students in the language and encouraging them to use it from the start, we help their speaking level progress at the same rate as comprehension. We track this using a unique 12-step HSK aligned curriculum, which enables students and teachers to closely monitor their progress. Based on this approach, our 3-part textbook series and online learning platform help us to maintain a high standard of teaching across our schools worldwide. Whether you’re just starting your Chinese learning journey, or you’re already on your way our expert teachers, innovative methodology and original materials will help propel you to the next level.
