Don't worry. There are several language schools in the city. I heard that Shangyuan Training School is a good choice. It is located at 4F, Balidao Mansion, No.138, Middle Chengzhong Road. You can go and see. Or you can also ask help for the Community of this website. Maybe you will find a nice Chinese language teacher in Yiwu. Good luck!
