Fred Rao founded eChineseLearning in Beijing in 2006. While he was teaching Chinese in a Chinese language school in the U.S., he was acutely aware of the challenges Chinese learners were facing. His solution is one of simplicity – offer one-on-one instruction based on each student's specific needs. He once said, "We held a very simple belief when we started the school – to offer effective and affordable Chinese education to each learner around the world by leveraging Internet Technology." So far, more than 1000 students from around the world from age 4 to 75 have studied Chinese at eChineseLearning.
