All of our teachers in Sydney are native Mandarin speakers with academic degrees from universities in Australia and China. They all have a minimum of 2 years teaching experience and have successfully passed an intensive training period. Our teachers share a passion for teaching and helping foreign learners discover China without leaving Australia through a range of Chinese courses and cultural activities.
Hutong School Sydney follows the same teaching methodology as our schools in China and around the world. Based on 18+ years’ experience teaching Mandarin, our unique teaching methodology has been proven to speed up the language learning process. By separating spoken Chinese from character recognition and promoting total immersion, we encourage students to start speaking from the very beginning. As you progress in spoken Chinese, you develop an understanding of the logic underpinning Chinese character construction and begin laying a solid foundation for character memorisation.
