FAQs
How are programs funded?
Our in-school program is usually funded by the school on a semesterly or yearly basis. If you wish to offer the after-school program as an additional service that parents pay for, let us know. We can provide marketing services from materials to workshops with parents.
Are your teachers background checked?
Yes. All our teachers are fully vetted and background checked according to the laws of the country in which they work. Once we have signed a contract and allocated you a teacher, we will provide you with the relevant documents.
How much can we customize the program?
Our courses are based on our standard language curriculum, but we can adapt the topics, tasks and schedule to suit your school’s needs.
Can we cooperate if we already have a Chinese teacher?
Yes. Our most popular option is the all-in-one service, which includes a teacher. However, we have a platform-only option, which allows your teacher to follow the hihilulu curriculum. This service includes teacher training by hihilulu Academy led by Professor Joël Bellassen so that your teacher is able to deliver the best results.
Do we have to manage your teachers?
No. We stay in regular contact with our teachers to ensure the quality of the courses.
They also undergo continuous training to keep their skills up to date and deliver the best possible courses to your students.
