How it works
We believes that it is not easy to learn a foreign language without an expert teacher’s help, particularly Chinese pronunciation, characters, speaking and listening. So you need a good native teacher to help you. The One-On-One Course provided by ChineseHour is specially designed for this purpose.
Unique teaching method with the extra live conversation class
ChineseHour provides not only One-On-One Course for different purposes but also the small Live Class for extra conversational practice. If you take part in these two courses at the same time, you’ll get a good discount.
The private tuition in the One-On-One courses ensures your steady progress at different phases and levels. The Small Live class focusing on oral Chinese practice is available to you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and it enables you to improve your communication skills every day. You can also learn more about Chinese culture and folk custom from the different topics of each class.
ChineseHour’s combined “One-On-One Course PLUS Small Live Class” learning model is unique. You can learn Chinese systematically from the One-On-One courses, and then have more chances to practise listening and speaking Chinese in the extra live conversation class with your native teachers and international classmates. This blended learning model makes your Chinese learning easy, fast and fun.
Install the learning tools online
We use Skype as our interactive learning tool in the formal private classes.
You should get your microphone and earphone ready so as to be able to communicate with our native Chinese teacher online. Video is allowed for use only on specific occasions. Click here to see how to download and install Skype and its plug-ins. Contact our online adviser if you need any help.

Please contact our professional online Course Adviser for a proficiency test to check your current level of Chinese learning. Our Course Adviser will then design an exclusive learning plan especially to meet your learning goal, your schedule and other specific needs.

Professional live class as face-to-face tutorship
Like the other traditional language school, ChineseHour has a comprehensive, professional teaching and support team online. The native teachers, academic advisers, e-library assistant, IT engineers work very hard every day at their posts to help you achieve the best learning results. Teaching procedures for each lesson also cover all the traditional learning flow: preview, instruction, exercises, review, answering questions, checking for understanding, etc. And the native teachers prepare their lesson presentations carefully with PowerPoint and also they can write or draw on “Blackboard” when necessary. You can receive the major part of the presentation materials after the class. You can communicate with your teacher easily by text, audio or video during the class.
“Blackboard” is a plug-in of Skype, it is cleaner, neater and easier for online communications.
When you reserve a class with ChineseHour, your teacher will give you materials for lesson preview. When the class is over, the teacher will provide you with exercises and materials for lesson review. You can store them in your computer for further study at any time.
