ONSITE and VIRTUAL TUITION: Difficulties are Always Our Stepping Stones

 

 

Learning Mandarin based on Montessori methods, through rhymes, games, stories, and activities repeatable at home.

 

Theoretically Montessori is a physical-touch and face-to-face method to support the children's development, however Corona-virus makes this impossible. Should we stop supporting our children to build their bright futures? Well...

 

Montessori Mandarin Cloud Classrooms provide the opportunity for children to learn. At the Beginner level children learn interactively alongside their parents. These are Teacher-Child-Parent interactive e-classes.

 

Activities are half adult led, and half the children's self-chosen activities, including activities repeatable at home, to support children's independent thinking and learning in Chinese/Mandarin, and to cultivate children's independence. The cloud classes are carefully prepared to support independence in thought and action. Mandarin social interactions naturally occur around the practicalities of community living. Mutual respect, self-discipline and concentration arise spontaneously in an atmosphere of freedom, in a place where there are interesting things to do.
