Mandarin
Building confidence, fluency, and community through peer-to-peer Mandarin immersion support.
Our Mandarin Story
Our Approach
Tip Top Tutors was founded by graduates of the Broadway-Twain-Venice Mandarin Immersion pathway who know firsthand the challenges and rewards of learning a second language. What began as a high school club supported by Dragon Sprouts has grown into a strong network of college students dedicated to giving back. As former immersion students, we created TTT to ensure the next generation of learners receives the personalized support, cultural connection, and mentorship needed to thrive throughout their bilingual journey.
We meet every student where they are, tailoring our sessions to match their learning style, proficiency level, and personal goals. Through conversation, dictation, and reading, we make Mandarin approachable, enjoyable, and a language that students look forward to speaking and are proud to know. Beyond academics, our tutors serve as relatable mentors, helping students build confidence both inside and outside the classroom.
