The Bodhi Tree Center opened its doors to serve the greater Portland metropolitan community in September 2003. In 2005, we incorporated as a non-profit organization. We do not discriminate in any way, mean, or form, whatsoever.
We specialize in Asian language instruction for children and adults. We offer classes year-round in the following Asian languages: Mandarin Chinese. All our teachers are native speakers of the languages they teach. Our class sizes are kept small to ensure that students are getting the best instruction possible.
Our language classes are offered year-round. We regularly offer various levels of beginner group classes, and sometimes intermediate or advanced classes. Private one-on-one tutoring and private group classes (for families or businesses) are also available.
The average profile of students of our adult classes is degreed professionals. Our students include pharmacists, linguists and Ph.D.s; public school teachers, principals, and administrators; librarians, financial advisors, entrepreneurs and businsess people, computer software developers, electronic engineers and IT directors; parents of adopted children from Chinese-speaking countries, students.
Our philosophy for teaching is to make the classes fun (as well as instructive). If students enjoy themselves during class time and look forward to each lesson, they will find studying easier and they will make progress quickly. That goes for children as well as adults.
