EnglishAllMandarin Costs and Free Trial Options
Updated
AllMandarin offers a free trial session, and its course pricing is listed on a dedicated Costs page rather than published directly on the homepage. If you want to know what you'll pay before committing, the practical path is: book the free trial first, then check the pricing page for the course type and package that fits you. Exact prices are not shown in the site material available here, so treat the pricing page as the authoritative source.
What the free trial includes
The site's main call to action is "Book Free Trial Session." Based on how the service is described, the trial is a live one-on-one lesson with a native-speaking Chinese teacher, delivered online via Skype — the same format as paid lessons.
That matters for evaluating cost, because the trial lets you test the things that actually determine whether the price is worth it:
- Whether you click with the teacher's style and pace
- Whether the Skype-based format works with your connection and schedule
- Whether the customized lesson plan approach suits how you learn
How pricing is structured
AllMandarin does not publish a single flat rate. Pricing depends on the course you choose and the package you buy, and the site points to its Costs page for current figures.
The course catalog that pricing would map onto includes:
| Course | Typical learner |
|---|---|
| Regular Chinese | General learners at any level |
| Business Chinese | Professionals working with Chinese clients or colleagues |
| Survival Chinese | Short-term travelers or new arrivals |
| Chinese for Kids | Young children |
| Chinese for Teens | Teenage learners |
| HSK | Students preparing for the HSK exam |
Because lessons are one-on-one and the curriculum is customized, cost is usually tied to how many sessions you commit to rather than a fixed monthly fee. The site also notes that free text materials are included, so you aren't paying separately for basic learning materials.
What to confirm before paying
A few details are worth verifying on the pricing page or with the school directly, since they aren't specified in the available site material:
- Per-lesson vs. package pricing — whether rates drop with larger packages
- Lesson length — how many minutes a standard session runs
- Expiration — whether purchased sessions expire
- Rescheduling terms — the site states you need to give 12 hours' notice to reschedule or cancel an appointment, so confirm how missed sessions are handled
A sensible order of operations
- Book the free trial and use it to judge teacher fit and the Skype setup.
- Identify your course type from the list above — this is the main variable in price.
- Check the Costs page for the current rate on that course and package size.
- Ask about the 12-hour rescheduling rule and any session expiration before you buy, especially if your schedule is unpredictable.
The trial is the low-risk way to decide; the pricing page is where the actual numbers live.
