What makes MoTai Mandarin special?
Curriculum is designed by professional Chinese language teachers who have a degree in *TCSOL with extensive teaching experience.
Learning handouts help you understand the pronunciations, grammars and sentence formats by explaining the language points in plain English and clear approach so it enables you to master them quickly and use them correctly.
Teachers at MoTai hold relevant degrees in Chinese language teaching and have gained abundant teaching experience. They are professional, friendly, helpful and patient. They must also have a valid WWCC (Work with Child Check) to deliver children class.
Assessment is conducted at student enrolment if they have prior learning experience so their level can be determined and be recommended with an appropriate course. Assessment is also conducted after each module/level so student’s learning outcome can be evaluated and recommendation be made for their next enrolment.
*TCSOL stands for Teaching Chinese to Speakers of Other Languages. The degree of TCSOL is established by Confucius Institute Headquarters(Hanban) to "cultivate the high-level, applicability and versatile talents who can adapt to the Chinese language international promotion task and are competent to use Chinese language as a second language or for foreign language teaching purpose" (Learn More)

How did MoTai Mandarin begin?
Because of Isabella’s strong passion for Chinese culture and the years of experience she gained through teaching Mandarin Chinese, she decided to establish a Mandarin learning centre based on her own teaching philosophy. Her aim is to create a institute in a modern and professional manner which includes structured curriculum design, student support and the recruitment of experienced and qualified teachers.
To recognise her husband’s inspiration Isabella called the institute MoTai Mandarin (Mo Tai means Mo's wife in Chinese).
