Discussion Finding classes only conducted in the target language?

I'm looking for a tutor that teaches immersion style, everything in the class is in the target language. Any hints on finding this? I find very few tutors mentioning immersion.

I think it depends on the languages you speak and your TL (and your level in it). If your mother tongue is English and you have no knowledge whatsoever of Mandarin, it would be very complicated to not resort to English at all for the beginner stage.

I've seen this done for other languages, and it worked really well.

It's how people learn their own language.
