At Hutong School, you can take classes whenever and wherever you want: during the week, on weekends, in the evening, or even while on your lunch break. If you don’t have time to get to their school in Sanlitun, the teachers can also come to your home or office.

No matter what your level, Hutong School can help prepare you for taking the HSK exam through either private or small group classes. Additionally, students can take part in many of Hutong School’s free cultural activities, covering classes in calligraphy, tai chi, pottery courses, or even bungee jumping.

The Hutong School believes in small group classes, averaging 4-5 students per class. If you prefer to have class on your own and study at your own pace, you can receive 100 percent attention from a teacher during a one-on-one session. If you are looking for special language training tailored to your business sector, Hutong School will be happy to design a course for you.

"The teachers at Hutong School are really nice and helpful. They were good mentors during my learning process, especially since I had two different teachers so the teaching method is slightly different, which can help to understand certain grammar or words. Also, I really enjoyed being in class with other students because this also helped me to understand words since a different perspective is given. In general, learning Chinese is hard work but also really fun,” said 25-year-old Nadine W. from the Netherlands. 

The Hutong School only hires highly qualified teachers, with each teacher requiring an academic degree in TCSL (Teaching Chinese as a Second Language) and a minimum teaching experience of two years. The school trains its teachers personally and evaluates them on a monthly basis, too.

"I love teaching at Hutong School because every student is different and has a different background which makes it interesting to understand their cultures and their ways of learning. Some students request specific courses tailored for their job or hobby which makes it very interesting and diverse for me as a teacher," said Lina, who has taught at the school for seven years. 

Their Beijing Branch is situated in the heart of Sanlitun, close to the Central Business District. The school is conveniently located for the many expatriates who work and live in Beijing, as well as for students learning Chinese or doing an internship. Find them on the 15th floor of Zhongyu Plaza, with a beautiful view over Sanlitun Taikooli, which is right across the street. If you go by subway, take Line 10 and exit at Tuanjiehu Station, Exit D. Walk about 500 meters west on Gongti Beilu. You will see the school at the first intersection on your left-hand side.
