The School

The Learning Center (TLC) opened its doors in 2004 to meet the needs of parents and students in the local and expatriate communities of Beijing looking for high quality tutoring and workshops. Since that time, The Learning Center has worked with well over a thousand students, ranging in age from pre-school to adult. Our students are both local Chinese students and expats from other countries around the world living in Beijing.

We have helped struggling students to raise grades, and gifted students to enhance skills in mathematics, science, English as a Foreign Language, and many other academic subjects. The students who attend find a peaceful setting and a positive, nurturing environment in which to study.

The Courses

We pride ourselves on creating interactive and engaging enrichment programs in a wide range of key subject areas. Through the years, these courses have provided both local and international school students with linguistic, academic and intellectual support.

Courses cover subjects such as literary analysis, creative writing, reading comprehension, IGCSE, IB, AP and A level topics. Tutors also focus on helping students with strategies they need to improve studying, organization, and test-taking skills in order to reduce anxiety in school and at test time.

Course materials & technology

We provide course books for some of the courses however, for many of our classes, teachers are provided with work books that we assemble and supplementary materials to use with the students.
