Which Online Chinese Class Fits Your Child?

What these guides found

Four platforms and one head-to-head, and the finding that survived both: format decides more than brand. A child in a four-child group gets roughly a quarter of the speaking time of the same hour one-on-one, so two quotes for “a lesson” are often not quotes for the same thing. Neither guide ranks teaching quality as a number — it varies more between individual teachers than between platforms. We do not test these ourselves.

How we judge online learning

• Format: live one-on-one, a small group, or a marketplace of tutors.
• Whether there is a defined progression or a set of standalone lessons.
• Trial and cancellation terms before you commit to a package.
