If your schedule changes, it's easy to reschedule, pause, or switch tutors.

      What’s the best way for me to learn Chinese in Washington, D.C.?

      Learning Chinese as an English speaker includes tones, characters, pinyin, and new grammar rules. The most effective way is live, one-on-one lessons with a private tutor. A LearnZone tutor guides you with step-by-step explanations and practice that matches your pace.
