Chinese Language Schools in Singapore

I had the opportunity to spend one month studying at this language school, and overall, I had a very positive experience. From the very beginning, I felt comfortable and welcomed, and I was happy with the atmosphere at the school. The staff were friendly and helpful, and everything was well organized, which made studying much easier and more enjoyable. I would especially like to thank my teacher, Lilia Deng. She is a wonderful teacher who is patient, kind, attentive, and very professional. The lessons were interesting and useful, and I especially appreciated the opportunity to practice speaking. Although I stayed at the school for only one month, I feel that I learned a lot and had a great experience.

I am truly grateful for the wonderful time I spent in Beihai and would like to express my sincerest thanks to every aspect of this trip. From the warm homestay family to the well-organized school program and the breathtaking natural scenery, everything exceeded my expectations. This trip was not just a language learning opportunity, but a life-changing adventure that gave me new perspectives, lasting friendships, and unforgettable memories. First of all, my homestay family was truly amazing. From day one, they warmly welcomed me and made me feel like a member of their family. We spent many quality moments together and participated in many activities that I will never forget. One of the most exciting was surfing it was my first time on a surfboard, and they patiently taught me the basics and encouraged me to enjoy the waves instead of being afraid of them. Riding the waves under their guidance was both thrilling and exhilarating. In the evenings, we often watched movies together, shared popcorn and laughter, and discussed the plot and characters. The children in the family were energetic and adorable; we played basketball almost every day at the nearby court. Those matches were more than just sports; they were opportunities to strengthen bonds. We encouraged each other, shared new skills, and improved our game together. The family's kindness, warmth, and generosity made me feel a deep sense of belonging in a foreign land, making my stay exceptionally special. One of the most unforgettable parts of this trip was visiting their ancestral home in rural China. Unlike the bustling city, it was a tranquil haven embraced by nature. The scenery was breathtaking，lush green mountains stretched gently into the distance, crystal-clear streams meandered through the valleys, and a tranquil reservoir reflected the sky like a perfect mirror. The air was fresh and clean, and the sounds of birdsong and flowing water blended into a soothing natural melody. We took long walks along the reservoir, and I even tried fishing with my family for the first time. The scenery was picturesque, and I couldn't resist taking photos every few minutes. This experience allowed me to deeply appreciate the charm of China's natural beauty and gave me a rare glimpse into authentic rural life, a refreshing contrast to my accustomed fast-paced city life. Next, I'd like to talk about the school，Beihai School，which is equally impressive and professionally managed. The teaching team truly listens to each student's needs and tailors the curriculum accordingly. Whether I wanted to focus on improving my spoken fluency, grammar accuracy, or writing skills, they adjusted the course content to fit my individual goals. Homework assignments were meaningful, reinforcing classroom learning, and teachers provided detailed and constructive feedback on each assignment. What I appreciated most was the class recording system，they recorded the key points, vocabulary, and grammar structures of each lesson and shared them with us promptly, allowing me to review them anytime and never fall behind. The teachers' explanations were always clear, patient, and easy to understand, greatly boosting my confidence. The entire program was exceptionally well-organized, from the daily schedule to extracurricular activities and weekend outings. A perfect balance was struck between study and leisure, ensuring we learned effectively while also having ample time to relax and enjoy life. Furthermore, the administrative team, especially the sales department, performed admirably in every aspect. Whether via email or instant messaging, they responded to my inquiries almost instantly, never keeping me waiting. Before I even arrived, they answered all my questions about the program, accommodation, transportation, and even local customs with remarkable clarity and patience. Throughout my studies, they followed up regularly to ensure everything went smoothly and promptly addressed any minor issues I raised. Their professionalism, efficiency, and genuine care made the entire process completely stress-free, allowing me to fully immerse myself in my studies and enjoy my time. In short, this trip to Beihai perfectly blended cultural immersion, academic growth, and nature exploration. I not only returned home with significantly improved language skills but also gained lifelong memories and friends from all over the world. I highly recommend this program to anyone seeking an authentic, enriching, and truly transformative experience in China. Thank you to my host family, the school staff, and everyone who made this trip unforgettable. I will definitely be back!

Surfing for the first time, fishing at a rural reservoir and playing basketball with the family every evening! It's been some adventure with you, Dipesh!! We are thrilled Beihai delivered so much beyond the classroom! Thanks so much for taking the time to share such a wonderful review. Keep up the great work studying Chinese and we cannot wait to welcome you back! LTL Team

Our daughter spent a month at the LTL School Summer Camp in July and August. Her stay went very well. The school is very well organised, whether in terms of airport transfers, the quality of the host families, or visiting Beijing and afternoon activities. The morning lessons were also very effective and my daughter made great progress in Chinese. We recommend warmely this school and would like to thank them for the high standard of their programme.

From July 13th to August 8th, I attended an LTL Mandarin language course as part of their full-immersion program in Kunming, China. During my stay, I lived with a wonderful host family where I had my own private room. My host family provided me with breakfast and dinner every day. Furthermore, they often took me out to local restaurants, which allowed me to discover many authentic Yunnan dishes and delicious spices. I took the standard 1-on-1 individual course (4 hours a day, 5 days a week). Commuting to school was very convenient: the nearest metro station was located just 1 km from my homestay—an easy, walkable distance—and the metro ride itself took only around 15 to 20 minutes. Classes took place in a modern business center where LTL rents classrooms. Every room was equipped with air conditioning or a fan, making the study environment very comfortable. My lessons usually ran from 9:30 am to 1:30 pm, but I really appreciated the flexibility to adjust the schedule according to my preferences, which is ideal for anyone who prefers starting later in the day. For instance, a fellow student had her classes scheduled in the afternoon from 1:30 pm to 5:30 pm. On some days, lessons even took place in other locations, such as quiet and cozy local cafés. From a psychological and learning perspective, this change of scenery was a huge advantage, as switching up the environment helped me stay focused and retain new vocabulary much better. Speaking of the classes, I was extremely satisfied with the teaching quality. I was able to learn a tremendous amount thanks to my teacher, Yumi. She was always well prepared, professional, and created a warm, encouraging atmosphere. Yumi practiced Chinese characters, speaking, and reading comprehension with me. She also shared valuable cultural context for various topics, which helped me understand the language on a much deeper level. Outside the classroom, LTL organized fantastic extracurricular activities for students. Savannah, the head of the Kunming branch, arranged diverse events such as authentic Kung Fu training, a trip to the famous Flower Market, cinema outings, and traditional bracelet making. I truly appreciated the friendly and welcoming vibe; Savannah treated all of us like friends rather than just students, making everyone feel relaxed and at home. Additionally, whenever new students arrived in Kunming, the staff hosted a welcome lunch so everyone could easily connect with the newcomers. Kunming is an underrated, truly remarkable city for studying Chinese. Unlike megacities like Beijing or Shanghai where many people speak basic English, very few locals in Kunming speak English. This makes it the ultimate environment for a full-immersion program. The locals are warm, easygoing, and thrilled when they hear a foreigner speaking Chinese. They often strike up small talk, which helps immensely with building real-world fluency. For example, I got along great with the Kung Fu master whom I met during one of the after-class activities. Overall, I am thoroughly satisfied with my experience at LTL Kunming. I learned a huge amount of new things, boosted my language skills, and met amazing people. If you are looking for high-quality language teaching, dedicated staff, and an unforgettable adventure in China, I wholeheartedly recommend LTL in Kunming!

Great pics and a wonderful review! Thanks so much for sharing, Antek 🙂 We loved having you in Kunming and we hope you keep studying hard back home!! LTL Team

I chose LTL Chengdu and came here for two weeks only - sadly, because it should have been longer! I got the Homestay option and the Survival Kit. My homestay host was very welcoming and I enjoyed my time with her and her pets. I had 1on1 classes everyday, two classes per day. The school was very nice, there is a common area for all students. I had classes with teacher Guo Xinyue, who was really kind, and classes with her were a pleasure. The teaching materials were probided by the school, and the teacher explained everything in an understandable way. The school organized social activities - I personally did not participate because I wanted to explore the city, but it was an option. For most of my sightseeing I used the recommendations provided by LTL. In short, I had a great time and everything was very professional!

Love to hear it, Zuzia! We really enjoyed having you in Chengdu with us and hope you keep up the great work with your Mandarin skills 🙂 LTL Team

My experience at LTL Language school was a wonderful one. Besides noticeably improving my Chinese skills, I was able to meet wonderful people both teachers and students and experience the local culture in a way I couldn't have otherwise. My respect and admiration lies in the workers and volunteers that make the school what it is.

I spent a total of 12 weeks at LTL Chengdu, and coming here was honestly one of the best decisions I've made. When I arrived I was around the beginning of a HSK 4 Level, and by the time I left I passed a HSK 4 test and was handling HSK 5 material with no great effort. The combination of intensive learning, and a homestay environment was powerful in pushing my Mandarin further. Without this combination, I sincerely doubt my Mandarin would ever have gotten to where it is today in such a short period of time I'd like to thank my teachers during my time at LTL, in particular my teachers Meng, Alex and Guo. I took a combination of group classes and 1:1, and my teachers always found a way to make the lessons both enjoyable whilst always pushing me into that next level of Chinese comprehension. The school environment itself is a great way of meeting other students, which was a highlight of my time at Chengdu. The school organises weekly events, which are also a great way of meeting both other students and local people as the school organises a "buddy" system to have locals at the events. I'd also like to thank teachers Pan Pan and Stiles for making the school environment so friendly and welcoming. Every weekend at Chengdu was spent with the friends I made at the school, and some great memories were made. These are friends I'll continue to be in touch with going into the future. Overall, I'd highly recommend LTL Chengdu to anybody considering it. I can testify to it's effectiveness in improving my Mandarin, and also to how enjoyable my time was there in general.

What a 12 weeks it was, Conrad! Thanks for such a lovely review, it was such a pleasure to have you study with us and we're delighted the feelings mutual :) Keep up the great work back home. LTL Team

I booked a 60 hour, 1 week 1:1 mandarin class and I have to say that the experience has been fantastic. The school is well organized, convenienly located and all of the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Best of all was my teacher Lily Laoshi who managed to really bring me forward in my struggles with the Chinese language. She is a very experienced teacher that can easily adapt to any specific topics or focus you request. She always was extremely well prepared and ensured that I kept motivated by combining by-the-book excercises with exercises covering topics closer to me (like work, family, fiends, weekend activities in Beijing etc). Highly recommended.

As intensive as it comes! It was a pleasure to have you study with us in Beijing even just for such a short amount of time. Hope to see you back again soon :) LTL Team

I recently completed my Mandarin course in Singapore with Teacher Chen. Although Singapore is known for its high level of English proficiency, the classes were highly immersive and conducted almost entirely in Mandarin. This approach allowed me to make progress much faster than I would have in a standard English-to-Mandarin class. In my opinion Singapore is very good choice for solo travelers as it is very developed and safe country. Based on my experience, I can highly recommend studying with LTL in Singapore, especially if you are looking for an immersive and effective way to improve your Mandarin.

LTL Language School responded to this reviewAugust 17, 2026

Love to hear it Sebastien! Thanks for your kind words. We're so happy you enjoyed learning Chinese in Singapore with us. Come back soon :) LTL Team

I was at LTL school in Chengdu and had Guo Xinyue as my teacher. She is the best teacher I’ve ever had across high school university and now language school. The program is extremely flexible and takes into account your personal needs and level, and the teacher is so kind and even when I got sick helped me navigate China! Even giving me a present to take to my parents upon leaving the school! Couldn’t recommend the school and Guo Xinyue enough! Really will accelerate your language skills in a short time. The atmosphere and friendliness of all the staff and students also stood out.

I had a great time at school and gained an unforgettable experience. Teacher Lilia is a true guide into the world of the Chinese language and culture. The classes take place in a comfortable atmosphere. In addition to going through the textbook, we talked a lot about free topics, which really helps to develop conversational Chinese.

I really enjoyed the language course and think my knowledge of Chinese improved a lot thanks to our well trained language teachers. They were really motivated and motivating. We didn’t feel the expected frustration or embarrassment. It was quite the contrary. Even mistakes could be worth enjoying. Thanks to all the staff at

I have really enjoyed learning Mandarin at LTL Shanghai. Everyone is really nice and wants to help you learn. I especially am grateful to my teachers Jamie老师，包老师，and 高老师! Jamie is very kind and fun. She helped me improve my speaking by a lot. 包老师 helped me with properly learn radicals and characters. 高老师 taught me many business terms, Chinese culture, and also sayings/vocabulary relevant to my major. Overall, I am very grateful to the teachers and everyone who has helped to make this program possible!

Learning with Lin and Tang 老师 for 2 weeks has vastly improved my language abilities in Chinese. LTL Chengdu has a welcoming and friendly environment which allows for both group learning and meeting new people. The school is right in the fray of Chengdu, near local restaurants and massive malls with everything you could need. I found the individual classes to be particularly useful.

LTL Language School responded to this reviewAugust 02, 2026

Delighted to hear it Nick! Happy to hear your Chinese improved and we hope that you continue to do so back home. See you again someday! LTL Team

I’ve spent the past 6 months with LTL at their Chengdu branch location and have gotten so much more comfortable with my Chinese over the months. I wasn’t sure what to expect at first but all the staff and students kindly made me feel welcomed through interactions in the lobby or from social thursdays. My goal for Chinese coming to Chengdu with some basic speaking fluency but no reading or writing capability was to even out my deficiencies and become able to function independently whenever going outside or having to get something done on my own. Without a doubt the biggest factor and help in my journey was my teacher Uni who is one of the strongest teachers I’ve ever had, not even just mentally but just like physically strong, so so strong, like breaking tables with her fists strong, but undoubtedly brilliant regardless. Headstrong literally she pushes you to the mental brink (positively) to enable you to learn and absorb more Chinese in a short period of time. The location was great too, nearby is Chunxi Road which is a central downtown hub for shopping, nightlife, and city sights all around. No matter the time you can always find people and vendors active in this part of the city. I had plenty of opportunities to go out and explore restaurants and bars with the friends I made at LTL, sometimes en masse with teachers as well. I want to give a huge shoutout to all the teachers who are friends to me now, particularly Pan Pan, Alex, Stiles, Cora, Teacher Ying, Wu Yi(Alan), and so many more. When it comes to spending so much time in Chengdu I definitely cherished the charm the city had to offer that was felt through the pace and carefreeness in which people in the city lived. There’s also a great mix of nature and attractions around the city that are easily accessible through high speed rail or other transit methods. Also a big fan of biking around the city on the easily rentable bicycles. When it comes to learning Chinese looking in hindsight I would definitely try to build habits for written Chinese much faster as it was a constant struggle to not only remember the characters, but also write them and then apply them in writing correctly. I still struggle with proper grammar in written Chinese if I don’t have a reference or internet access so this is something I have to continuously hone as I try to progress beyond just basic stories or anecdotes. Being more proactive with interactive methods also is a big boon, things like listening and breaking down music or podcasts / media content helps with the immersion factor even while being here. Overall I’ll really miss the experience and moments I’ve had in Chengdu this past half year, hoping to stay in touch with the friends and come back and visit in the future. Lastly Chengdu is a great option for cost to value if you’re looking to save a little on spending compared to being in more upscale cities like Beijing and Shanghai, although I’m sure they’re all great places to stay and nurture yourself at the end of the day.

I studied Mandarin for two months at LTL Singapore, and I absolutely loved my lessons. My teacher was Zhang Hui laoshi, and she was an amazing teacher who made our lessons a lot of fun while also making the language points and grammar super easy to understand. She made sure I felt confident when practicing my Mandarin, and also motivated me to keep studying and trying my best. My program was well-organised and flexible when I needed to make changes, and there were lots of opportunities provided to practice my Mandarin speaking in public when we went out to do activities together. I especially loved how we were able to study in different locations around the city, which gave me a chance to explore new areas I'd never been to before. I would highly recommend studying here!

Being at LTL Beihai was the best choice I made to study Chinese! Not only was the city an amazing opportunity to get to know China outside of the big and well-known cities, but Savannah from LTL made me feel being at the perfect place. With her cheerful and funny engagement she did not only make me feel welcomed but also organized super fun activities throughout my four weeks stay e.g. hiking, martial arts classes, dinners. Also she always had an open ear and always giving the right advice when I was confronted with issues. I'd definitely go back!

In June, I was fortunate enough to spend two weeks in Chengdu attending an intensive Chinese language course at the LTL-School. Having previously lived in China for two and a half years, I wanted to refresh and improve my Chinese skills. LTL’s promise of an immersive learning experience, combined with the option of staying with a Chinese host family, immediately caught my attention. Organization Everything went very smoothly from start to finish. My initial contact with the school was excellent, and the staff were always patient and helpful when answering my questions. Airport pickup was well organized and completely hassle-free. While it would have been nice to receive the host family’s contact details and address a little earlier, this ultimately turned out not to be an issue at all. Homestay I stayed with a wonderful host who stopped by every day to prepare breakfast and dinner. She made me feel incredibly welcome from the very beginning, and I had plenty of opportunities to chat with her. She was very patient, and I really appreciated having someone to practice my Chinese with outside of the classroom. At the same time, I enjoyed having my own room and bathroom, which gave me enough privacy to relax and recharge after classes. Location I absolutely loved Chengdu. I know China quite well and have visited many major cities, but Chengdu ranks very high on my list. This is largely due to my overwhelmingly positive experiences with the local people. Everyone I met was warm, welcoming, and genuinely interested in talking to me. Whenever locals realized that I could hold a conversation in Chinese, they were delighted and often eager to chat. Being surrounded by people who are willing to engage with you in Chinese is incredibly motivating and helps build confidence. One thing I would highly recommend is taking your study materials to one of Chengdu’s many teahouses after class. Immersing yourself in the city’s tea culture while reviewing what you have learned creates a unique and enjoyable learning environment—and I genuinely believe it helps. The Chengdu School My language course was very intensive. I booked two weeks of one-on-one lessons, four hours per day. In addition, I spent at least two hours each evening reviewing material and preparing for the next day’s lessons. It was demanding, but that was exactly what I was looking for. If you truly want to improve, there is no substitute for consistent study and actively using what you learn. One minor challenge was the schedule. Occasionally, I had afternoon classes that finished at 6 p.m., followed by lessons starting between 8 and 9 a.m. the next morning. On those occasions, I sometimes felt a bit rushed when preparing for the following day. However, this was only a small issue and did not significantly affect my overall experience. During my stay, I had three different teachers, each with their own teaching style, which I found refreshing. Most of my lessons were with LTL-Teacher Michael, who did an excellent job (foto below). He has a deep understanding of Chinese grammar, language learning, and Chinese culture. We had many interesting discussions, and his enthusiasm made the four hours of daily lessons pass surprisingly quickly. Conclusion If you are looking for a welcoming and immersive environment to improve your Chinese, I can highly recommend LTL Chengdu. The combination of dedicated teachers, a supportive homestay experience, and the friendly atmosphere of Chengdu creates an excellent setting for language learning.

So glad to hear you had an amazing time with us in Chengdu. Reading your story is such a pleasure to us and all the team, it really means everything!! Thanks, and please come back again soon!! LTL Team

TL;DR: I had an incredible time at LTL Chengdu. Background With little to no prior experience in learning Mandarin, I have decided to participate in the 18-weeks-program offered by LTL. With various cities to choose from (e.g. Beijing, Shanghai, Chengde, Chengdu, Beihai, etc.), the choice fell on Chengdu. Why? Because after a bit of research I felt that this city would be the most suitable place for what I am looking for: a developed city which doesn’t see too many foreigners around, which enables me to have a more immersive experience in my daily life. Class While originally having booked 4 hours of group class per day, this got adjusted to 2 hours of one-on-one class due to the lack of students on a similar level as mine. In retrospective: a wonderful choice. The daily one-on-one classes allowed us to fully focus on my needs and pace when it comes to learning new material or when talking about new grammatical concepts. The class covers all major aspects when it comes to learning a new language: writing, reading, listening and speaking – all points in which I feel I heavenly improved during my stay. The class also comes with daily homework to prepare for the next session, which further utilizes the importance of continuous learning even outside of the classroom. Teacher My stay at LTL Chengdu wouldn’t have been successful without my teacher PanPan. She makes sure to establish a wonderful learning environment, in which tackling the task of learning a new language does not only feel rewarding but also fun. She makes sure to understand where you are coming from and what your goals during the stay will be to ensure a smooth experience. It has been an incredible time having PanPan as a teacher. Further I’d like to mention that the teachers Unicorn and Alex also do an amazing job at LTL Chengdu! LTL Chengdu Located on the 9th floor close to the busy Chunxi street in the city centre, the office is easy to reach via subway or any other means of transport. The air-conditioned rooms at LTL Chengdu are offering a quiet learning experience, but at times with many students being present at once they might opt to move to another floor inside the building as the space on the 9th floor can be too limited at times – this only happened a few times during my stay, so it didn’t influence my learning journey. Being in the city centre, LTL Chengdu is surrounded by countless food and shopping possibilities – additionally, there is a small gym on the 6th floor to use free of charge. Everyone I have met that is associated with LTL Chengdu has been incredible kind and pleasant to be around – additional shoutout to: Mandy, Ilaria, Giulia and 颖老师. An additional aspect to mention: The opportunity to get in touch with locals through the social Thursday event. This is organized by LTL and often includes inviting some local people from Chengdu that are trying to improve their English, while the LTL students can improve their Chinese. I have made some good friends through that activity so I definitely recommend to join it, especially in the beginning as starting a new chapter in a life without knowing anyone in a city far away can be a bit overwhelming – it’s good to have some friends that can help you manoeuvre through it. City Chengdu is an amazing city if you are looking for: amazing food, amazing people, fun nightlife and a relaxed atmosphere throughout the day. Whether going for some spicy hotpot, seeing the pandas, watching the Sichuan opera or relaxing in one of the many parks – this city has it all! Accommodation During my stay I have decided to rent my own apartment and didn’t choose the homestay alternative. The rental process was very smooth, and I managed to find a suitable apartment within 3 days of arriving in this city.
