Our Winter Term registration is now open and we have even more learning options than ever before including:
More Cantonese classes
New Saturday classes in Markham
New beginner Mandarin Voyagers classes
And more Virtual options!

Why Panda Mandarin?
If you've wondered why you should come to Panda Mandarin to learn Chinese or would like to convince a friend or family member of the benefits of joining Panda Mandarin, here are some key reasons.
We focus on making the learning experience fun, engaging, and practical
We keep our class sizes intentionally small so each child gets the attention they need
Since 2015, we've been designing our own curriculum & sourcing well regarded series designed especially for North American learners (YCT and 马立平《中文》) so you can be sure we have the best resources for your child
Our teachers are highly qualified and carefully selected from well regarded schools such as OISE at the University of Toronto
We provide extra value-add materials in Google Classroom, to help your child review & practice at home or provide 1:1 extra help sessions called Panda Practice
Most importantly, we want our students to develop a love of learning Mandarin so they want to come to class!
Come for a FREE trial class and check out our small class sizes, warm & welcoming teachers, and fun & engaging learning style that makes us not a typical Chinese school.
We’ve updated our schedule and we have many new and existing class options. Note: a textbook fee is required for new students to the Mandarin Explorers 4-5 yo Advanced, Mandarin Voyagers, and Mandarin Scholars classes. Prices are pro-rated if you join after the start of the term.
