Compass MandarinAbout Us
From Hangzhou to the world. Every lesson is a guided journey in Chinese.
Our Story
The Compass Mandarin story began in 2017 in a classroom by West Lake in Hangzhou. This is the offline Chinese-language training center of CompassMandarin, founded by an international team of Chinese-language educators. Over eight years of work with learners worldwide, we opened an offline training center in Hangzhou, with a Shanghai center now in preparation. A strong teaching reputation made us a long-term Chinese-language partner for leading international companies such as Samsung, Hyundai, and LG, and we built deep student-recruitment partnerships with more than 10 universities, international schools, and education institutions around the world.
A Global Network
For eight years, international partnerships have been our foundation. We run structured in-person training centers and an online teaching system, with business Chinese programs recognized by leading global companies such as Samsung, Hyundai, and LG. Our student network spans more than 10 universities, international schools, and education institutions worldwide (partners: 金帆留学, SHALOMCHINA, PAGODA, MG, Global Inc, HELP). That work has given us proven experience in teaching Chinese to international learners and in delivering corporate training.
2025 Rebrand
In 2025, we unveiled Compass Mandarin. Built on eight years of accumulated experience, the new name evokes a compass—pointing every Chinese learner in the right direction. The original Chinese founding team now leads the brand independently, opening a new chapter of global growth, while partners across countries continue to walk alongside us as a vital strategic channel.
Global Reach
Rooted in Asia, reaching toward the world. Drawing on teaching and management systems proven in international programs, we are accelerating our expansion across Southeast Asia. We have already established official partnerships with international schools, Chinese community schools, and Confucius Institutes in Thailand and Vietnam, and will gradually extend into Europe.
