Sishu Mandarin
About
Founded in 2016, Sishu Mandarin is a New York, NY–based Chinese language school serving individuals, New York–based businesses, and Fortune 500 companies. It delivers Mandarin and Cantonese instruction through private, semi-private, and small group classes offered in person across the Financial District, Midtown, and Long Island City, as well as online via Zoom or Google Meet. Lessons run daily from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. to accommodate varied schedules, and at‑home options are available for children.
Programs cover all proficiency levels and ages, including early childhood (infants 6–18 months and toddlers 2–3 years), after‑school, and adult learning. The school also provides HSK test preparation, corporate training, translation services, and cultural enrichment such as calligraphy, lion dance, tai chi, Chinese dance, and Weiqi (Go). Instruction emphasizes small class sizes and individualized goals.
Sishu Mandarin offers competitive rates and transparent pricing. New learners can book a free 30‑minute virtual trial lesson (not available for group classes, test prep, or children under 16). In addition to its New York locations, the school opened an office in Washington, D.C., in 2024.
