Teacher Training
We make Mandarin easier for you to teach
We’ll help you with teaching methods, study materials and even finding teaching roles.
We are passionate about opening up the Chinese language and culture to everyone who’s interested. That’s why we developed the revolutionary TDR™ teaching method, to make it easier and more enjoyable for beginners to learn Mandarin.
So for all you teachers, who are just as enthusiastic, our TDR teacher training will help you make your lessons more structured, fun and inspiring, which ultimately improves your students’ results.
What will I learn?
This course trains teachers in the revolutionary TDR™ (Tian Di Ren) teaching method as well as various other tools and techniques to improve your teaching of Mandarin for beginners and intermediate level students.
Trainees are also expected complete trial teaching sessions before becoming a registered TDR™ teacher.
How else will I benefit?
We help Chinese teachers and speakers develop their teaching skills so that they can make Chinese learning more exciting and accessible to their students—whatever their age or ability. Successful completion of this course entitles the trainee to become a registered TDR™ teacher which brings numerous current and future benefits in terms of reputation management, access to Meridian/TDR teaching materials and profiting from more teaching opportunities.
