FAQ
What happens after I enroll?
One of our staff will reach out to you to schedule a Zoom meeting where we can answer any questions or concerns you may have, understand more your expectations and hopefully have a quick conversation with your child about the exciting, fun class they’ll be joining. We want to get to know you, your child and for you to get to know us.
Will there be alternate schedules available for this class?
We are happy with the positive response from our community to enroll in this class. We try to make our program accessible to all students. Please complete this Interest & Feedback Form – https://forms.gle/ALnQ7ZtUhdhBfGv69 so we can gather information to help us design our programs.
Can I join the Mandarin class mid-month or mid-year?
Students can join and start learning online Mandarin anytime. Each levels’ curriculum takes one year to complete. If your child starts 5/18, they will complete the curriculum the following year on 5/17. You will be charged automatically monthly based on the date of on when you enroll.
When do students move up a level?
A student moves up a level after students complete an entire year’s curriculum. Or if the teacher determines your child would do better in another level we’ll talk to you about the recommendation to determine if transferring to another level is best.
How do I know my child is in the correct level?
Teachers will independently assess a student’s level throughout the class. If they feel there is a level that better suits the student we will move the student to the recommended level.
Will there be homework?
We’ve designed the 4-6 hour a week, full immersion classes to not have homework. Students will be meeting so frequently for class that the in-class experience is when and where your child will get all their practice. Do expect them to be speaking Mandarin at home with you as it’ll become natural for them to speak Mandarin.
Will these Full Immersion classes ever be offered in-person?
Meeting online is a key component to the structure of the online Mandarin class and how it creates a fully-immersive Mandarin experience for the student. The isolation removes any distractions that typicially occurs in the classroom. That is why we highly recommend students wear headphones when attending class. There may even be a day when the class meets virtually in a VR world. Everyday Mandarin wants to control the environment and Mandarin experience your child will have to ensure the effectiveness of the program in developing your child into a “natural” Mandarin speaker.
What happens once the class is full?
A waiting list will be created and students will be listed on a first-come, first-serve basis.
If I have a question who can I contact?
Contact Everyday Mandarin at learn@everydaymandarin.org, fill out the contact form or call/text 415-952-7223. Feedback Form
How old does my child need to be to join the online class?
There is no minimum age to join the online Mandarin class. We do require the student to have appropriate attentiveness and focus. The maximum age usually related to our HSK level classes is 19, high school senior.
Is there a sibling discount?
Siblings will get 10% off the monthly tuition. Just let us know after you enroll and we will adjust the monthly tuition.
Is there a referral discount?
Yes! Ask us for a referral code to share with friends and family so they get 10% off the monthly tuition. Every referral you make also earns you 10% off the monthly tuition as long as the referred student is enrolled. Yes, your calculations are correct. Refer 10 students and pay $0 per month for your child’s tuition.
What if my child misses a class?
There are no makeup classes. Because the class meets 4-6 hours a week there is no time for a makeup class. The structure of the class is designed so that your child won’t fall behind if they miss one, two, three or more classes.
Can I pause my payments/attendance if we go on a long vacation, travel?
We cannot hold spaces in the class for non-paying students. If you want to stop payments, let us know by the 20th to avoid being charged for the next month. If you pause payments because of illness or unforeseen circumstances your child will be placed first on the waiting list for when they return. If the absence and pause is because of a non emergency or medical reason, your child will be placed at the end of the waiting list.
What if I want to stop attending class?
Your satisfaction is our priority. Cancel anytime, notify us by the 20th of the preceding month to avoid future charges.
What is your refund policy?
Your satisfaction is our priority! We are always available to discuss the program and your child. We do not offer refunds.
Does it matter where I am when I connect to class?
That’s the benefit of the online Mandarin class, not really. Most of our students are in the US and Canada. We have students from across different time zones connecting to class. The class times are Pacific Standard Time so if you’re outside PST then please adjust accordingly. We do recommend students be in a quiet area and that headphones are used so the teacher gets complete focus from the student and your child is fully immersed in class. It’s okay to contact while on vacation or away. We use Zoom so you’d need to be sure wherever you are Zoom will work. As a courtesy, please do not have your child connect via an mobile device in the car or out in a public setting. It’s very distracting for the class and the teacher may choose to disconnect your child if it’s a disruption.
What technology requirements are there?
Technology requirement: An Internet connection, device with a camera, microphone and sound. Tech support will be available upon request. We highly recommend students using headphones so they get the full immersive Mandarin experience.
What is the guarantee you make about my child speaking Mandarin around the house within 3-6 months of attending class?
If your child regularly attends classes for a continuously, within 3-6 months you can expect to hear them speaking and hopefully responding in Mandarin if encouraged and nurtured by you. They will want to show you what they’ve been learning and the engagement will eventually become second nature to them in our expectation that they will become a “natural” Mandarin speaker. If this does not naturally occur, reach out to us so we can be sure your child is attentive and engaged in class.
