Panda Mandarin

Panda Mandarin is a long-running Mandarin language school on the 18th floor of Universal Mansion at 168 Yuyuan Road in Jing'an, a short walk from Jing'an Temple. Teaching since 2004, it takes adult learners from complete beginner to conversational fluency in small-group and private classes, and also runs Japanese and English courses. Group sessions start at around 80 RMB for a 50-minute class; private lessons cost more, and multi-lesson packages lower the per-class price. It's a solid choice for internationals who want to genuinely speak Chinese, not just pass a test.
