ILC has been teaching Kids Mandarin in Hong Kong for over 10 years. Our team of highly qualified teachers specializes in creating age-appropriate, fun, and engaging Mandarin courses for children. Whether your child is learning Mandarin for general communication, school support, or exam preparation, we provide the right pathway to success.
At the beginner stage, children are introduced to Mandarin through fun, interactive, and sensory-based learning. Since young children learn best through play, our teachers use pictures, flashcards, videos, songs, role play, and games to help kids quickly absorb new words and phrases.
The focus is on pronunciation and tones, as this is the most critical foundation for speaking Mandarin naturally. Children will learn numbers, colors, family members, animals, weather, food, and everyday expressions. Teachers use body language and storytelling to reinforce understanding, so even very young learners can follow along.
At this level, children build confidence in listening and repeating simple words. Gradually, they begin to construct short phrases like “I want water,” “This is my mom,” or “It’s sunny today.” Our goal is to make Mandarin a fun part of their daily lives, so children develop positive associations with the language.
Parents are often amazed at how quickly kids pick up Mandarin when learning in a play-based, immersion environment. Starting early ensures a natural accent and smooth transition into more structured learning later.
Intermediate-level children are ready for more structured learning while still keeping classes engaging and interactive. By this stage, kids already have a foundation in basic words and phrases. Our focus shifts to building vocabulary, sentence patterns, and listening comprehension.
Children learn about school life, hobbies, transportation, shopping, telling time, and describing daily routines. They practice conversations with classmates in role-play scenarios, such as ordering food at a restaurant, asking for directions, or talking about their weekend. Teachers also introduce children to simple Mandarin stories and songs, strengthening both recognition and memory.
In addition to general Mandarin, we also support children with school Mandarin lessons. Many international schools in Hong Kong only provide Mandarin classes once or twice per week, which is not enough for real fluency. Our curriculum complements schoolwork, reinforcing what students learn in class while expanding their ability to speak Mandarin confidently beyond textbooks.
Parents will notice their child starting to use Mandarin more naturally, responding quickly in conversations, and even sending short Mandarin text messages with friends. This stage is crucial for developing fluency and preparing children for higher-level academic or exam-focused Mandarin.
At the advanced level, our courses are designed to help children achieve academic excellence and long-term fluency. This includes preparation for IB Mandarin, IGCSE, GCSE, and A-Level exams, as well as helping children who aim to take the HSK test for international recognition.
Students focus on reading comprehension, writing Chinese characters, and advanced speaking skills. They practice essay writing, formal speech delivery, and analyzing Mandarin texts. Teachers also guide them through grammar, sentence structures, and idiomatic expressions, ensuring they sound natural and sophisticated.
For school support, we provide tailored tutoring aligned with each student’s curriculum. For exam preparation, our professional tutors use past papers, mock exams, and proven test strategies to help students achieve the best possible results.
At this level, children are capable of discussing abstract topics such as culture, current events, and personal opinions. They gain the confidence to use Mandarin in real-life professional or academic settings. Parents find that their children can not only pass exams but also use Mandarin as a lifelong skill for future study or career opportunities.

ILC has over a decade of experience teaching Mandarin to children in Hong Kong. Our teachers are native Mandarin speakers, fully qualified, and passionate about working with kids. We customize lessons based on age and level, ensuring learning is both effective and enjoyable. With small class sizes and interactive teaching, children stay engaged and motivated throughout the course.
Our General Mandarin course builds everyday communication skills in a fun, play-based environment. Kids learn through songs, games, storytelling, and group activities. The aim is to give children maximum exposure to Mandarin so they can speak naturally and confidently. Parents often see fast progress in both speaking and listening skills after just a few weeks.
Our School Mandarin course is designed to complement the Mandarin lessons children receive at international schools in Hong Kong. Since many schools only offer Mandarin once or twice per week, children often lack the exposure needed for fluency. Our program provides extra practice, homework help, and speaking opportunities, ensuring children feel confident in class and beyond.
For older children preparing for exams like IB, GCSE, IGCSE, or A-Level, our Exam Mandarin course provides targeted preparation. We focus on exam techniques, past paper practice, reading comprehension, writing, and oral skills. With our guidance, students not only gain high scores but also develop lasting Mandarin proficiency that supports both academic and future career goals.
