FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

My schedule changed. Can I cancel my 1-on-1 class?

If you cannot attend your Chinese class with us you have the option to cancel six hours before the start of the lesson.

If you have a lesson at 5pm on a Monday afternoon, you can therefore cancel anytime before 11am on that day.

Our Chinese tutors are full-time professionals and they require a regular schedule to adhere to. If you do decide to cancel your class, you have the option to cancel up to 30% of your Mandarin classes at no charge.

If you cancel more than 30% of your lessons then you will have to pay for them.

Having said that you are welcome to change your schedule. Just communicate with us and we will arrange a plan for you.

Try and give us two weeks’ notice so we can re-arrange this at the convenience of you and your Mandarin teacher.

What if I miss a group class?

Your teacher will communicate with you regarding the materials you missed in your class so you can catch up by yourself outside of school.

If you’ve missed several consecutive classes and are falling more significantly behind, you have the option to purchase several special 1-on-1 catch-up classes at a discounted rate.

You can drop us a message if this happens.

Can I attend a trial class?

Unfortunately not. Imagine a situation where we have a class of three students, each week a new trial student comes into that class.

The rhythm and flow of a class would be disrupted very easily and it would put the paying students back whilst also making the teachers life more awkward.

If you wish to hear what other students say about LTL check out our Chinese language school review page.

Do you also offer online Mandarin classes?

Yes, we do. You can study with LTL 24/7 online with Flexi Classes.

How long are my 1-on-1 lessons valid for?

If you purchase more than 100 hours your classes will never expire.

However, all purchases up to 100 hours of Mandarin language classes will be valid for two years from the date the invoice was issued.

How many students are in a group class?

Our classes never exceed six students, and actually, the average number of students is under three per class.

What if I don’t know any Chinese?

That’s fine.

We welcome all levels, all ages, and all backgrounds at LTL.

In fact, most of our students are beginners!

Do you issue Fapiao?

We do indeed issue Fapiaos.

Be aware that Chinese Tax regulations are a little complex. Please do tell us who the fapiao is for before you begin your Mandarin lessons with LTL.

Chinese fapiaos can be issued to companies with a Chinese name only, so be sure to inform us. If need be, a standard invoice and receipt can be issued at a future date.
