**Tarena International, Inc.**

6/F, No. 1 Andingmenwai Street, Litchi Tower

Chaoyang District

Beijing 100011

People's Republic of China

Dear Sir/ Madam

**Re: Tarena International, Inc. (the "Company")**

We have acted as special Cayman Islands legal counsel to the Company in connection with a registration statement on Form S-8 filed by the Company with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "**Commission**") on or about the date hereof (the "**Registration Statement**", which term does not include any other document or agreement whether or not specifically referred to therein or attached as an exhibit or schedule thereto), relating to the registration of an aggregate of 2,500,000 class A common shares with a par value US$0.001 each (the "**Shares**") issuable pursuant to the 2014 Share Incentive Plan adopted by shareholders of the Company on 29 January 2014 (the "**Plan**", which term does not include any other document or agreement whether or not specifically referred to therein or attached as an exhibit or schedule thereto).

1. DOCUMENTS
 REVIEWED

For the purposes of giving this opinion, we have examined and relied upon copies of the following documents:

1.1. the Registration Statement;
and

1.2. the Plan.

We have also reviewed:

1.3. the fifth amended and restated memorandum of association of the Company and the fifth amended and restated articles of association
of the Company adopted by a special resolution on 3 March 2014;

1.4. copies of the written resolutions of the directors of the Company passed on 29 January 2014 and 28 February 2023 and copy of the
written resolutions of the shareholders of the Company passed on 29 January 2014 (the "**Resolutions** ");

1.5. a certificate of good standing of the Company dated 16 February 2023 (the "**Certificate Date** "); and

1.6. such other documents and made such enquiries as to questions of law as we have deemed necessary in order to render the opinion
set forth below.

2. ASSUMPTIONS

We have assumed:

2.1. the genuineness and authenticity of all signatures and the conformity to the originals of all copies of documents (whether or
not certified) examined by us and the authenticity and completeness of the originals from which such copies were taken;

2.2. that where a document has been examined by us in draft form, it will be or has been executed in the form of that draft, and where
a number of drafts of a document have been examined by us all changes thereto have been marked or otherwise drawn to our attention;

2.3. the accuracy and completeness
of all factual representations made in the Registration Statement, the Plan and other documents reviewed by us;

2.4. that the Resolutions
were passed at one or more duly convened, constituted and quorate meetings, or by unanimous written resolutions, remain in full force
and effect and have not been rescinded or amended;

2.5. that there is no provision
of the law of any jurisdiction, other than the Cayman Islands, which would have any implication in relation to the opinions expressed
herein;

2.6. that upon issue of any
Shares by the Company, the Company will receive consideration for the full issue price thereof which shall be equal to at least the par
value thereof;

2.7. the validity and binding
effect under the laws of the United States of America of the Registration Statement and that the Registration Statement will be duly
filed with the Commission;

2.8. that on the date of issue
of any Shares, the Company will have sufficient authorised but unissued Shares in its share capital; and

2.9. that on the date of issue
of any award or Shares under the Plan, the Company is and after issuing any award or Shares under the Plan, will be able to pay its debts.

3. QUALIFICATIONS

3.1. We express no opinion
with respect to the issue of Shares pursuant to any provision of the Plan that purports to obligate the Company to issue Shares following
the commencement of a winding up or liquidation.

3.2. We have made no investigation
of and express no opinion in relation to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the Cayman Islands. This opinion is to be governed by
and construed in accordance with the laws of the Cayman Islands and is limited to and is given on the basis of the current law and practice
in the Cayman Islands. This opinion is issued solely for the purposes of the filing of the Registration Statement and the issue of the
Shares by the Company and is not to be relied upon in respect of any other matter.

4. OPINION

On the basis of and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

4.1. The Company is duly incorporated
and existing under the law of the Cayman Islands and, based on the Certificate of Good Standing, is in good standing as at the Certificate
Date. Pursuant to the Companies Act (the "**Act** "), a company is deemed to be in good standing if all fees and penalties
under the Act have been paid and the Registrar of Companies has no knowledge that the company is in default under the Act.

4.2. The Shares, when issued
and paid for in accordance with the Plan, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable (which term when used herein means that
no further sums are required to be paid by the holders thereof in connection with the issue or holding of such Shares).

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the Commission as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not hereby admit that we are experts within the meaning of Section 11 of the Securities Act or that we come within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the Rules and Regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder.

Yours faithfully,

/s/ Conyers Dill & Pearman

(1) These shares may be represented by the Registrant's American Depositary Shares, or ADSs, each of which represents five Class
A ordinary shares. The Registrant's ADSs issuable upon deposit of the Class A ordinary shares registered hereby have been registered
under a separate registration statement on Form F-6 (333-194662).

(2) Represents Class A ordinary shares underlying awards reserved for future grants under the 2014 Share Incentive Plan (the "Plan").
Pursuant to Rule 416(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), this registration statement also
covers an indeterminate number of additional shares which may be offered and issued to prevent dilution from share splits, share dividends,
or similar transactions as provided in the Plan. Any Class A ordinary shares covered by an award granted under the Plan that terminates,
expires, or lapses for any reason will be deemed not to have been issued for purposes of determining the maximum aggregate number of Class
A ordinary shares that may be issued under the Plan.

(3) These Class A ordinary shares are reserved for future award grants under the Plan. The number of Class A ordinary shares available
for issuance under the Plan has been estimated for the purposes of calculating the amount of the registration fee. The proposed maximum
offering price per share, which is estimated solely for the purposes of calculating the registration fee under Rule 457(c) and Rule 457(h)
under the Securities Act, is based on the average of the high and low prices for the Registrant's ADSs as quoted on the Nasdaq Global
Select Market on March 13, 2023, adjusted for ADS to Class A ordinary share ratio.
