About Lil' Tizzy Mandarin
Lil’ Tizzy Mandarin was established in Stockholm and the school is the first Taiwan Center for Mandarin Learning in Scandinavia. We offer in-class and online Mandarin courses for toddlers, children, teenagers and adults.
Besides the language courses, the school also arranges cultural activities, Mandarin summer camps and Taiwan Study Tours.
We believe the most natural way to learn a language is through play and hands-on experiences. Our lessons combine games, stories, crafts, and real-life scenarios to spark students’ interest in Mandarin and Taiwanese culture.
Our courses are taught by professional teachers from Taiwan who use immersive and interactive teaching methods. In a happy and supportive environment, our students build confidence, connect with their cultural roots, and integrate Mandarin into their daily lives.
We are dedicated to promoting Mandarin learning and Taiwanese culture while offering high-quality instruction in an inspiring setting. Join us for a fun and meaningful journey in mastering Mandarin!

Our Parents Say
We think that Tizzy is attentive, pedagogical and take very good care of children.
We can warmly recommend Tizzy.
Ulf, Uppsala
parent of Kai-Li (9 yrs old)
Tizzy is very good at doing creative and fun exercises that captures Ingrid's interest.
With a shorter time perspective each lesson stimulates Ingrid in many ways such as creativity, motor skills and patience.
Erik & Maria, Nacka
parents of Ingrid (3 yrs old)
Tizzy carefully designs her teaching plans so that they are suitable for different ages and makes exquisite and unique learning materials. Children get to learn the language through “playing and doing ”with her. These are the three reasons why I highly recommend Tizzy!
Ashley, Lidingö
parent of Fiona (6 yrs old)
Tizzy uses another method to stimulate children’s interest in learning the language.
The Chinese lessons that Elise took before were very boring and repetitive, therefore it was hard to get Elise to go to the lessons.
Then Elise started with Tizzy, I have not had any problems making her go to Mandarin class.
Tizzy listens to and cares about the students and I warmly recommend her to you.
