WHAT WE DO

Learning Chinese is a long haul. Twin Voices dedicated to providing age and level appropriated Cantonese and Mandarin lessons for children and adults.

We offer classes for students outside of Chinese-speaking countries, taught by native teachers specialized in teaching Cantonese and Mandarin as second languages. All classes are conducted live via Zoom, in small groups to offer maximum interaction and speaking opportunities.

OUR APPROACH

We understand the difficulties in grasping Chinese skills whilst living in a non-Chinese speaking community. We pride ourselves in providing a caring and encouraging atmosphere and our professionalism in adjusting and adapting to the specific needs of students.

We celebrate each student’s uniqueness and drive students to discover and enjoy Cantonese and Mandarin in their Chinese learning journey.
