Why have a Tutor?
Next Step China understands that not everyone is fortunate enough to have more than three months to spare for studying Chinese in China. We therefore believe that the Intensive Tutoring Program and the Specialized Programs have an added-value because of the time you save in learning Chinese.
In fact, all of Next Step China participants who went through the University Programs have expressed their appreciation for their tutors namely because they felt that they’ve learned more in an hour of tutoring compared to two or four hours of classes in the University.
Next Step China highly encourages all participants to get the very most from their University Student Programs by supplementing their group lessons with after-class Tutoring. Tutors are an essential part of learning Mandarin fast and effectively. Next Step China’s tutors will not only help you with questions you may have from class homework, they will also cover other lessons which are essential to daily life in China. These topics would not normally be covered in class.
We pride ourselves on our strong network of highly trained tutors to help those who are serious about learning and improving their mandarin. We carefully choose the best tutors and provide a higher remuneration than anyone else in the industry in order to secure the highest quality of tutors for our programs.
