Our vision is simple: We provide great Chinese teachers, not technology or gimmicks. Of course, technology helps us bring world-class, native Chinese teachers to students all over the world, 24 hours a day. We are very proud of our teachers. Since 2007, we've assessed Chinese teachers, and only have met our strict standards to teach on our website. We also believe that protecting the privacy of our students and teachers is essential for web-based learning environments. So we've built our own chat platform that doesn't rely on Skype or MSN, and we never show pictures of our teachers. Socially Responsible We try our best, and we welcome any feedback on how we could do better. Fairness. You will not see our teachers' pictures/videos, so that they are only judged on their teaching qualities. All our teachers are scored by students at the end of every lesson, providing a fair, open and transparent benchmark. People-friendly. Our platform allows physically challenged students to learn, and offers physically challenged Chinese teachers with equal financial rewards as the other teachers. Environmentally-friendly. Our online platform helps people anywhere in the world learn (or teach) Mandarin Chinese without needing to drive and causing additional pollution.
