great school and even better teachers!

this school has very knowledgeable teachers and is very flexible with the available times. I find it very helpful to take lessons with eChineseLearning because I have the opportunity to practice listening and speaking with real native speakers. that is probably the best way to learn a language!

I started my journey to learn Chinese…

I started my journey to learn Chinese 10 months ago and I am very thankful and glad that I chose this school in China.
The experience has been fantastic. My teacher is skilled, patient and understanding on how to teach non-native students .
I find the lessons engaging, interactive and very interesting and well-paced to
my needs . The 1 on 1 lesson is exactly what I was looking for when I decided to learn Chinese .
At this time I think that I have made pretty good progress in speaking and understanding the language .
Lastly I would like to talk about the administration staff- Mary and the other staff who have been very helpful and prompt in getting back to me whenever I have had questions or technical problems. They have replied to my text quickly and I really appreciate that.

Wonderful!

I have greatly improved my Chinese, and I am planning to take part in HSK exam sometime next year. My tutor Nancy was a wonderful Chinese teacher who is extremely organized and patient. I am happy have made the right decision to use eChineseLearning as a trustworthy and reliable Chinese language learning partner.

Highly Engaging and Effective Chinese Lessons

Caden has been taking Chinese lessons with Teacher Talia for four months. The lessons are engaging and well-structured, using various methods to support learning and build interest. The teacher adjusts the course based on progress and provides consistent encouragement. With homework practice and strong after-class support via WhatsApp, Caden has made great improvement. We are very satisfied with both the course and the teacher.

I'm 76 now and I hope to continue studying with eChineseLearning for many more years...

I was longing to learn first of all everyday conversation with Chinese people, and later on also conversation about more complex topics like economy, world politics, social problems... eChineseLearning was wonderfully suited for that. In one-to-one lessons the teachers I had helped me master the basics of conversation about the weather, food and drink, transport, education... and the basics of Chinese grammar and orthography. Now I hope soon to be able to discuss the topics in the news... I highly admire the ability of the teachers to adapt to my wishes and topics and their kind and patient attitude towards an old man like me - I'm 76 now and I hope to continue learning with eChineseLearning for many more years!

We had tried other online Chinese…

We had tried other online Chinese learning institutions before, but they all followed a set curriculum and didn't adapt to our childen's paces, so after several years, the results were poor. After searching online for recommendations and taking trial classes, we finally chose this one. The teachers communicate with parents after class to ask for feedback, which allows for better interaction with the children. The teaching methods are flexible, making this our current favorite online Chinese learning institution.

Positive experience

I've been taking lessons with the teachers at eChineseLearning for 4 years now, and I've had a tremendous experience. My teachers are friendly, knowledgeable and capable of helping students learn quickly. I'd recommend eChineseLearning to whoever wants to learn Mandarin.

Extremely Disappointing Experience – Promises Unkept and No Real Human Support

I’m genuinely surprised by the automated email I received from eChineseLearning telling me what a “pleasure” it has been working with me and how “excited” they are about my Chinese progress — because I have never actually taken a lesson with them. That message alone shows how disconnected and impersonal their communication is.
I signed up for a trial class specifically because I was told the trial would be with the same teacher I’d continue with long-term. That teacher, Georgina, seems to have disappeared from their system completely. She is not available when trying to book ongoing lessons — so what exactly was the point of the trial?
I was then told to switch to another teacher, Laura, but she has zero availability for the next four weeks. The schedule is literally blank. So despite all their promises of flexible scheduling and personalised teaching, they apparently don’t have teachers available.
At this point, it’s clear that eChineseLearning simply can’t deliver what they advertise. There is no continuity, no follow-through, and almost no real human support. Everything feels automated, generic, and inconsistent.
If you’re looking for a reliable online Chinese-learning service with real teachers and real availability, I would strongly suggest looking elsewhere. This platform has been nothing but delays, broken promises, and impersonal messages.

Signed up for a trial lesson

Signed up for a trial lesson, it wasn't a good fit for me, because I didn't like their payment plan. That was about 4 months or so ago. I still get a call from them every few weeks, it used to be weekly, but I've started blocking the numbers. It's just an automated call using ghost numbers, how the hell would that make me want to sign up? Please leave me alone.

My experience with echineselearning

When I first visited echineselearning's website, I found it straightforward, though not as flashy as some newer platforms. My priority was skilled tutors, not fancy design. What impressed me was the range of courses, including specialized topics like business Chinese, travel Chinese, and hsk Chinese. The easy signup process for a free trial class was appreciated, it allowed me to test the service without pressure.

One thing I loved about echineselearning was the variety of lessons. I could tailor my classes to my specific needs, with options to adjust based on my progress. I focused on conversation skills and grammar, but there were also lessons for business chinese, Chinese culture, and etiquette. This flexibility was ideal for me, as my goals could change over time.

The highlight of my experience was my teacher. She was knowledgeable, engaging, and supportive, making every lesson something to look forward to. Unlike some platforms, my tutor was professionally trained with years of experience teaching Mandarin as a second language. Her excellent English helped explain challenging concepts clearly.

Scheduling was flexible. While some prefer booking on short notice, eChineseLearning’s system worked well for me. I liked planning a few weeks in advance, with room to adjust if needed. The option to pause my subscription during busy periods was a great benefit.

The cost might not be the lowest, but the quality of teaching was worth it. Various pricing plans are available, and buying more lessons upfront significantly reduces the per-class price. I chose a flexible package that required some commitment but helped me stay consistent.

Pros:

*Wide variety of courses tailored to different needs
*Professional, highly trained teachers
*Flexible scheduling and subscription options
*Structured, personalized approach

Cons:

*Best for those who can plan lessons in advance
*Higher prices for short-term or casual learning

My experience with echineselearning has been very positive. It’s a great option for those seeking a structured, long-term approach to learning Mandarin with passionate, committed teachers. If you’re serious about progressing in Mandarin and want more than a casual exchange, echineselearning might be the right choice.

Taking Chinese lessons with echineselearning has given me a strong foundation in Mandarin, and I’m excited to continue learning with them!

Excellent Chinese Language Learning Experience

I've been using eChineseLearning for a while now, and the experience has been fantastic. The flexibility of scheduling lessons to fit my busy lifestyle is a huge plus. The teachers are highly skilled, patient, and truly understand how to teach Chinese to non-native speakers. The personalized lesson plans have helped me make significant progress in both speaking and understanding Chinese. The interactive approach keeps the lessons engaging and effective. I highly recommend eChineseLearning to anyone looking to learn Chinese in a supportive and flexible environment.

Extremely poor treatment of workers. Avoid.

This is a review from the back end side. I know people who have been recruited into the system as Chinese teachers, and the working conditions and situation for teachers is absolutely atrocious. Teachers are effectively scammed into signing agreements without being told any useful information about their working expectations, are promised a range of payments for lessons, but invariably paid the lowest possible rate, are forced to attend frequent unpaid training sessions, are monetarily penalised for minor offences such as not getting students to submit reviews, and cannot quite their contract without paying a fee to the company. The only way to get yourself out of their contract is to be fired. Teachers are forced to stick rigidly to extremely low-quality lesson plans and bad materials.

If you sign up for courses with this company, you are enabling extremely poor worker treatment.
