"Hi I wanted to share with me experience…"

Hi I wanted to share with me experience with the GO EAST I really like the education system . The lessons are very convenient to teach, the teachers explain everything very clearly, I liked everything very much.

"Private Chinese Class at GoEast"

I have been going for private 1-on-1 Chinese class with GoEast for about 9 months. My assigned teacher is excellent. She does a great job keeping the class engaging and educational. I’m improving quite quickly if I do say so myself. The online material is also real helpful for preparing for classes. The teachers and staff are helpful and responsive.

Excellent experience! Would recommend.

"Changing my China experience"

I first heard about GoEast from a friend I hadn’t seen in six months—his sudden fluency in Chinese amazed me! He highly recommended the school, saying he felt like he was wasting the last five years learning with private teachers and on his own. He wished someone had told him about this school earlier because it’s where he finally started making super-fast progress.

That convinced me to give GoEast a try, and I couldn’t agree more. What makes it stand out is its focus on conversation skills. In my case I was using Duolingo before, but unlike apps like Duolingo, which I found very limiting for real-life practice, GoEast pushes you to speak and engage. Plus, with the app doesn’t explain grammar/words rules, which slowed my learning. However, at GoEast, the teachers explain everything clearly, which makes understanding and progressing so much faster.

The teachers are fantastic—super nice and always checking in to make sure we’re doing okay. They also organize non-mandatory monthly events, which add a fun and social aspect to the school.

If you want to make real progress in Mandarin, I can’t recommend GoEast enough!

"This program and school has been an…"

This program and school has been an absolute delight for learning. Everyone I have met has been so welcoming and helpful. My Teacher is Olive Gou and she has been such an incredible and patient teacher with me. She’s helped me really grasp the essence and beauty of this language. Overall I would say the course load is very well put together. Gives you the ins and outs for the language as well as helpful tips for everyday life and usage in the early stages. I am so thankful for beginning my journey in Mandarin and can’t wait for many more challenges ahead!

"I have been taking lessons at GoEast…"

I have been taking lessons at GoEast for 3 years now and have nice experiences with my teacher, Dani.
I have greatly enjoyed learning Chinese language with her. Her engaging and interactive teaching style has made each lesson so exciting and makes me understanding the language much easier and more interesting. Thank you!

"I had a great learning experience with…"

I had a great learning experience with GoEast. I would say the best part is how structured the program is. They match you with a program consultant, who is very helpful and supportive. They also have very clearly laid out class materials, which helps to stay on track, even if it's a 1:1 class. Teachers were really great too.

One downside is that you have to purchase 50 classes at once. It was a huge financial commitment, which was a lot for my uncertain circumstance.

"Mustafa Retiwalla"

I found out about Goeast through instagram, didn't think much about it before but I must say, it has been one of the best investments for someone like me who does business in China. It has helped me gain a lot of confidence and it has also helped me a lot with my business. Lexi and Vivi both are amazing, big thumbs up and highly recommended.

"Worth Every Penny!"

I HIGHLY recommend this Chinese language course. Like most people, I tried to learn Mandarin on my own through Duolingo, Mango, HelloChinese, etc., however personally I could never keep myself motivated to continue. I decided to pay for this course and I have been very happy thus far. I’ve completed two semesters so far (all of HSK1), and already signed up for another year. The content is divided into small chunks of vocab each lesson that are palatable and not overwhelming. The online videos/lectures are succinct and easy to follow. There are no required exams, however I find that just maintaining the preparation needed for each lesson is more than enough to keep most of the content fresh without constantly needing to go back to learn old words/phrases. They recommend you watch multiple videos of that week’s lesson before class so you are familiar with the vocabulary, and from there they build off your base level understanding and challenge you in class.

If you have the means and are someone like me who needs that external pressure to continue learning Mandarin, I don’t think you’ll be disappointing taking this course!

"Good lessons with emphasis on conversation"

I’ve been studying with GoEast for about 3 years, using a one-on-one lesson. So far, it has been a highly productive experience. The lessons are taught using the HSK system through HSK4, and then they switch to a text book. Each lesson is presented with support from PowerPoint slides, but the presentation style allows for conversation throughout the lesson, so I get a lot of practice speaking. Even at the beginning, the lessons are almost entirely in Chinese, with us only using English when expressing an idea in Chinese was too difficult for my level. I have had the same teacher for the whole three years, so she knows my ability well, and she has been increasing the speed and complexity of her speech as my ability improved.

The cost for the one-on-one lessons works out to ~$30 per lesson, and groups of lessons (minimum 50) are paid in advance, so the one-time cost is fairly high. However, the quality and consistency of the lessons has been worth it.

"Would recommend!"

I am currently in the Intermediate-Advanced spoken Chinese course and I have been taking this course for almost 7 months now. I really appreciate the material that is taught in this course as the topics we discuss are relevant topics that I would discuss with anyone in the real world. Everything has an application. My current course is 2x a week and I am in a group class. My class currently is only 2 other students so it is very small. The way the course is set up is very nice and I enjoy it because we first learn new vocabulary and then listen to the lesson, answer questions about the lesson, and then practice what we have learned. I think what is most valuable about this course is the opportunity to learn how to use the vocabulary because I feel like rote memorization is not conducive to long term learning. My only feedback would be I wish I could reschedule missed classes somehow but not sure how that would work. It is also a bit on the pricier side in terms of lump sum but I do think if you are able to, this is a great way to learn as it is quite personalized! Would recommend to anyone thinking about taking a course with GoEast!
