It is so cool, fun, interesting and informative to learn to sing the Chinese national anthem with Donovan! I learn so much about so many things in each and every lesson! I can't believe we actually went through the meaning, melody, and singing a few times through all in one lesson -- WOW! A dream come true! Yay! :-D

What is the best method for learning Mandarin ?
We're biased, of course, but at Lessonface we believe the best way to learn Mandarin is through one-on-one lessons. Personalized instruction means your teacher can tailor every lesson to your goals, learning style, and skill level. Online group classes can also be a great way to make learning fun and social. Learning Mandarin online makes it easy to stay consistent, which is essential to steady progress.
There are plenty of apps and YouTube videos out there to help with learning Mandarin, but most teachers agree that those resources work best as supplements to, not replacements for, one-on-one instruction. A skilled Mandarin teacher can identify bad habits before they become ingrained, help you focus on what matters most, and solve problems as soon as they arise, often saving you months of frustration and wasted practice time. The bottom line? A real teacher accelerates your progress and keeps you on the right path from day one.
How do online Mandarin lessons work?
Online lessons are effective, affordable, and accessible. Lessonface qualifies teachers in over 300 music, language, and arts subjects, including Mandarin. Students can browse teachers' profiles, send them messages, and book lessons securely through Lessonface. Lessons happen via Zoom links that are securely generated for each lesson, and can be easily recorded by the teacher. Recordings, notes, and attachments can all be accessed from within the Lessonface dashboard. Lessons can be booked one at a time, in packages, or by subscription to save a spot on the teacher's calendar. Lessonface hosts recitals, open mics, group classes, and self-paced courses too. Registering an account is free so it's easy to get started reaching out to find your ideal instructor. Contact us with any further questions!

How much do Mandarin lessons cost?
Mandarin teachers on Lessonface set their own rates. Rates are displayed on the teachers' profile pages and in the checkout process prior to booking. Teachers may choose to change their rates for new bookings, and students will always be notified prior to making payment. The average price for a Mandarin lesson offered at Lessonface is currently $35.90.
The average paid for a Mandarin lesson 5 years ago was $30.33. Some Mandarin teachers offer a free trial lesson to new students, which are not factored into the average prices.
How does payment work for Mandarin lessons?
There is no fee until you book your first paid lesson. Many teachers offer free trial lessons. Students can opt to book one a time, or purchase lesson packages or subscriptions for scheduling convenience, and, depending on the teachers, a discount. Payment can be made by credit card or Paypal. Lessons booked with a subscription are pre-paid three days before the end of the month for lessons that are scheduled for the following month. Subscription payments can only be made by credit card (not Paypal). Teachers receive their payment after the lesson has been completed.
