HowHow Classroom 好好學堂 · Overseas families

Wherever you live, your child deserves to be taught well.

We teach Chinese-speaking families around the world: Taiwan-curriculum bridging and Mandarin. All lessons are online and one-to-one, taught by our founder, Max (Max 老師).

This page summarises the Chinese page for family members who prefer English. Lessons are taught in Chinese; parents can talk with the teacher in Chinese or English.

How we teach

Good learning starts with daring to ask “why”. We look for the exact step where a child gets stuck, ask them to explain their thinking, and treat mistakes as clues rather than labels.

Our teaching tool, XYLEX (拍懂), follows the same idea. Children photograph their homework, AI suggests a step where they may be stuck, and the teacher confirms, corrects or rejects it. AI can be wrong, so the teacher makes the final call.

Three programmes

國小數學思維
Elementary maths thinking

Reading the problem before choosing the calculation: multiplication, fractions, geometry and word problems for primary school.

See this programme

國中數理
Junior-high maths & science

Maths plus physics/chemistry and science for grades 7–9, taking formulas back to the concepts behind them.

See this programme

華語文與表達
Chinese language & expression

For overseas students: Mandarin, Zhuyin and reading. For students in Taiwan: Chinese and essay writing.

We do not teach IB, AP, GCSE, SAT or other international exam programmes.

Good to know

Fees
Overseas families pay in US dollars: see the plans below. Keeping-pace, advanced-challenge or special needs are quoted after the free 20-minute consultation, where we also confirm payment arrangements.
Levels
Three levels: catching up on foundations, keeping pace with school, and advanced challenge. We agree the level during the consultation.
Plans
Single lesson US$40; 4-lesson monthly plan US$150; 16-lesson term plan US$560. Monthly and term plans include XYLEX homework diagnosis and a monthly learning report.
Grade levels
A Taiwanese grade is not always your child’s local grade. We ask separately about age, local grade, materials, and whether you plan to return to Taiwan.
Chinese level
Mainly Traditional characters and Zhuyin. Children with a Simplified or Pinyin background are welcome.
Time zones
Tell us your city or time zone when you book. Confirmations show both your local time and Taiwan time (Asia/Taipei); please watch for date changes and daylight saving.
Lessons
50 minutes on Google Meet. You need a computer or tablet, a headset, and a phone that can photograph homework. Materials are included.
No LINE?
No problem. Overseas families can do everything by email.
