KaiXin Chinese Learning Hub (Hawthorn)
We are based in Melbourne and specialise only in teaching Mandarin Chinese to children from 4 year olds onwards.
The classes are small with between 4 to 10 children. This enables each child to get the appropriate attention they need from the teachers and also be given a chance to participate actively.
At KaiXin we believe in investing in children's long term education and hence we optimise their learning using our unique methodologies and our very own books and CDs which are provided with no extra cost.
KaiXin means 'HAPPY' in Mandarin and it reflects the happy and relaxed environment we provide to the children so that they can enjoy and accelerate their learning capabilities. We deploy various motivating strategies whilst maintaining an effective course structure and discipline in class.
Flexibility - We currently teach in four locations in Melbourne (North Melbourne, Doncaster East, Hawthorn East and Mulgrave). If the children are unable to attend their regular session, they are welcome to join an alternate class of the same level in same or another location ( if available) to ensure they do not miss out.
Our Program and Methodology
Holistic Approach - At KaiXin we believe that learning Mandarin is not only about learning the language but that it is also a mind and cultural exercise. Hence we have taken a more holistic approach in designing and developing a step by step curriculum, books and CDs incorporating creative story-telling that excites the imagination yet also touch on children's everyday life events, Chinese culture, numeracy and problem solving to challenge the mind in a fun way.
Our methodology - Our pedagogy incorporates engaging, motivating, interactive methodologies; and fun through visual, auditory and kinaesthetic (VAK) way, story-telling, acting, play-like activities, songs, music and usage of both the left and right brain. It encourages children to learn, speak, write and remember at an accelerated pace in a relaxed environment.
Bilingual and Immersion - Our classes begin as bilingual throughout the early stages of learning. However as the children begin to acquire some foundation of Mandarin, we will start to immerse them in the language and conduct more and more of the lessons in Mandarin.
This way we can ensure that the children are fully engaged and comfortable from the very beginning yet have the opportunity to accelerate their learning as their competency and understanding progress.
