We take Chinese learning to the next level
At LingoAce, we believe language fluency unlocks opportunities in our interconnected world. And as a bilingual global citizen, I’ve experienced how language capabilities has opened new doors and possibilities for myself.
But as a parent, I witnessed firsthand how challenging it was for my children to learn Chinese through traditional methods.
Not only were the old ways of teaching non-interactive, but it was also non-immersive, rote-based and overwhelming for the modern young learner who grew up in a digital world.
That’s why we started LingoAce.
At LingoAce, we bring Chinese learning to life through a specially-designed curriculum for our modern young learners.
Bringing you the best of all worlds, we leverage technology, small class sizes, authentic materials, creative illustrations, gamification, interactivity, and professionally certified teachers to deliver the most engaging and effective learning experiences.
Through LingoAce, your child will be able unlock new opportunities and bridge connections through language learning.
And we’ll be there, by your child’s side,
every step of the learning journey.
Let’s get learning!
