Our program is professionally researched on an ongoing basis and delivers proven results. Our teachers are selected because they have a genuine passion and love for teaching the Mandarin Chinese language and culture to children. Furthermore- all of our Mandarin Stars teachers are formally trained in house- our Mandarin Stars Teacher Training Program is rigorous and is offered on an ongoing basis for all teachers. We consult with leading education consultants (some of whom are globally renowned) to ensure that our Mandarin Chinese program for children meets the high standards that any parent would want for thier child's education.
Because we are committed to continually reseraching and developing our program on an ongoing basis, we regularly consult with education experts (over the last 2 years we have been observed and have consulted with academics from the University of Sydney, ANU and Melbourne University) to ensure that we deliver a world leading Mandarin Chinese program for children and employ best practice teaching strategies across all areas of our program.
As a result of the hard work we put into our program and staff training, we are proud to say that we are recommended and trusted by both parents and educators across Australia. More importantly- our program delivers proven results and is simply loved by children!
The Mandarin Stars Chinese program has been researched and developed for children who are both native and non-native Chinese speakers. Currently, the majority of children who attend our classes are non-native speakers. Our Mandarin Stars community is diverse and we welcome children from all cultural backgrounds.
Mandarin Stars is the creation of Dawna Leung, the mother of two Australian Chinese boys:
"My own research showed me that the success of my children's ability to learn Mandarin would depend on their desire to learn, so the Mandarin Stars program we offer is of pure enjoyment to the children. Our approach is not academic or intensive. Instead, we offer activities that build vocabulary and conversational skills in Mandarin in a fun, interactive, learning environment. Our program has been developed so that your child will enjoy learning and playing in Mandarin and as a result, be inspired to learn Mandarin in the future."
Whether your child is from a monolingual English speaking family, a bilingual English/ Chinese household or Mandarin speaking family, our innovative Mandarin Chinese classes will engage and delight your child. Find out more about our programs here.
Mandarin Stars welcome children from all ethnic, cultural and language backgrounds.
