Mandarin Language Discovery provides professional Mandarin tutoring for children and adults at its White Plains, NY locations. Founded by Shanshan Li, who grew up in northeastern China and brings firsthand experience as both a native speaker and former licensed nurse, the school focuses on empowering students to master Mandarin while fostering appreciation for Chinese culture.
Driven by the belief that language and culture are best learned together, Mandarin Language Discovery’s mission is to create a fun, engaging, and immersive environment where students of all backgrounds can discover the Chinese language. Their curriculum emphasizes all four core skills—speaking, listening, reading, and writing—with a particular focus on developing spoken fluency.
Programs include small group classes for various ages, individual tutoring, exam prep, preschool, and “mommy-and-me” sessions. Cultural activities are seamlessly integrated into lessons to provide a richer, more effective learning experience. Experienced, accommodating teachers and small class sizes ensure personal attention and an enjoyable atmosphere.
With offerings spanning from preschoolers to adults, and including both enrichment and academic support, Mandarin Language Discovery is trusted by local families seeking high-quality Mandarin instruction.
