The Mandarin Academy

Love that they provide customised group lessons where children have group time as well as individual attention (where they could be taught spelling etc). No bored moments.

There were some hiccups during camp but overall my children really like it and the lessons were really interactive. They returned home asking for more Mandarin lessons which never happened... Read more returned home asking for more Mandarin lessons which never happened before.

We would prefer a nearer location but guess for now our boy really likes it so we are staying.

UPDATE: Returned for the 3rd time this year and the kids still enjoyed it very much! I personally really like the new teacher too. They asked for a review and we have... Read more new teacher too. They asked for a review and we have to be honest, their old location is remote and old. Cancellations happened when there are leakages etc, for the kids safety. Too glad they are at such a great new space now. Our kids went for their camps thrice and always ask to return when we explore camps every holiday. Came back with lots of Mandarin going on at home when their Dad and I can’t comprehend anything. They chose this over Robotics!!! Unbelieveable

[UPDATE] I finally received my money back! They explained the group that was managing the finances had been dissolved somehow, and apologized for the delay and the inconvenience. I'm updating... Read more and apologized for the delay and the inconvenience. I'm updating this review to 4 stars because I believe in second chances. I signed my kids up for 5 weeks of camp, and both of them really enjoyed the classes! So much so that I was planning to send them here every Summer when we are back. But due to a number of personal circumstances, classes ended up getting cancelled, but it was not that big of a deal for us since my schedule was pretty flexible. The only issue is they had promised to issue a refund for the 2.5 weeks worth of cancelled lessons. Yet, it has been a month and I'm still struggling to get my money back.
