Our study material is concise yet fun and engaging. Our multi-dimensional books have games, activities, audios, relevant videos and exercises.

Founder
Aditi Kothekar
Aditi (Wadnerkar) Kothekar is a language enthusiast who speaks about seven different languages. Her love for Mandarin Chinese took her to Soochow University, Suzhou, China where she completed her formal education in Mandarin Chinese. With an M.Com & MBA in hand, she wanted to pursue her hobby at work. She even quit a prestigious job at the State Bank of India to start teaching Mandarin Chinese – a language, then, a very few had even heard of.
Ms Kothekar has been associated with M/s Eaton Corporation, M/s John Deere and M/s Johnson Controls for their Corporate Mandarin Training. She has also worked closely with the Jinhua Government, Zhejiang Province in China for promoting their Historical Villages all over the world.
We believe in delivering a complete experience to our students and guiding them in every way possible. More so, our secret ingredient is passing the passion for the language & culture on to our students!
