"Private Mandarin classes based in Shanghai"

I've been taking 1-on-1 Mandarin classes for a little over 6 months. I think GoEast Mandarin has a well-structured curriculum, fantastic teachers and a very friendly staff. My teacher goes above and beyond to make sure I understand the material and can confidently use it when interacting with locals in day-to-day life.

Altogether, I can definitely recommend this school to anyone interested in learning Mandarin while living in China. Thanks GoEast!

"Friendly helpful staff"

Currently a student at GoEast and my experience has been nothing but great!

Before and after arrival Yanyan really helped with all processes especially the visa process for me coming from Australia.

Along the way if there’s anything I’ve needed I know I can as the staff as everyone has been extremely helpful during my 6 months in Shanghai!

"Best Chinese Learning Center"

I started HSK 2 level 2 months ago at GoEast. My teacher,Wendy, taught me with all the useful expression and wrote me notes that I wasn’t sure about or got wrong. Online supplementary grammar and video lessons made me understand easier and actors on video are real teachers at GoEast! I will continue learning Chinese definitely here @GE.

"🚀🚀🚀🚀"

I have been in China for 5 years and was motivated to study Chinese from day one. I spent 4 years and a lot of money with different schools and teachers who all follow the official HSK curriculum, which if you are familiar with it, is complete nonsense. You will spend hours and hours doing multiple choice, learning words like ‚send a fax‘ or talking about beijing opera, but when you have to order a coffee in the real world you fail or when someone says ‚zhifubao‘ instead of alipay you won‘t know what they are talking about.
GoEast actually designs their own curriculum, teaches you useful everyday words that are missing in HSK and actually works on improving your speaking skills.
Since I joined GoEast earlier this year I made huge progress, am finally able to talk to people and manage everyday situations myself.
I am truly glad that I found GoEast and would recommend everyone not to waste their time with other teachers/schools and to give GoEast a try!

"Great Experience"

My teacher, Hannah, is fantastic. I learned so much from this experience. I would highly recommend.

"I recommend GoEast"

I have studied remotely via Zoom as well as face to face classes with GoEast. I would recommend both. The teachers and administrators are expert, patient and effective. The resource materials are also great.

"Beyond expectations"

I am very satisfied with the classes, in my case business chinese 1 to 1. The contents prepared by the teacher are personalised, and the topics relevant. I feel like learning a lot everytime I go. Moreover, the school location is great, and everyone at the school wants to make sure you are happy with your experience, they care a lot. I would totally reccomend it, already did!

"The teachers are great"

The teachers are great. Beginner classes work really well for me. Additional events like trips are also fun.

The Learning Management System can be improved. I struggle finding the correct units and lessons and the Quizlet beginner cards don’t have 汉子.

Great school, well structured and organized curriculum.

"Fantastic experience - definitely can recommend!"

This is an extremely professionally run school that definitely exceeded my (already high) expectations.

Not only were they able to prepare and tailor their study curriculum to my very individual needs (something that other schools I’ve talked to couldn’t since those schools basically had to stick to one or two books with pre-defined curricula) before me starting my lessons, but also were they very flexible in additionally adjusting it each and every lesson depending on any short-term thoughts and needs that I had.

I got two teachers that shared the teaching load - both were extremely well prepared, great teachers and very well aligned between each other when handing over from one to another. Moreover, they really did everything to optimize my learning experience and outcome (e.g., by providing additional learning materials).

Additionally, I really liked the overall atmosphere in the school. Each colleague was super nice and open; you could feel that everyone was getting along with each other very well so that it also felt a bit like a small family.

Special shoutout also to my designated „handler“, who went beyond and above for me from the first point of contact throughout my whole time at the school and who organized everything from curriculum design to teacher scheduling and who always made sure that I was happy with everything and who I could talk to in case of any questions (or complaints that I didn’t have at all).

I can definitely recommend this school highly.

"I learned about Go East roughly 2 years ago"

I learned about Go East roughly 2 years ago. At the time I was a complete newbie and only happened to read about the company from some online blog post.

Intrigued, I wrote them a email and my very first 1v1 lesson was a free trial via zoom. Right away I was able to get a good sense of learning and engagement.

Everyone I've dealt with so far (be it teachers or language consultants) have been extremely kind, friendly and beyond accommodating. They are extremely flexible and want their students to learn but also be at ease.

For anyone who is serious about learning Chinese, rest assured as Go East is top rated for a reason. While many may complain about pricing, they take pride in their students and strive to make an unforgettable learning journey. Thank you Go East!
