Why HSK?

The HSK 汉语水平考试 (Hànyǔ Shuǐpíng Kǎoshì), or Chinese Proficiency Test, is the standardised exam roughly equivalent to a TOEFL for Mandarin. It covers academic, professional, and daily life Chinese skills, making it appropriate for anyone who wants to obtain official credentials for their Chinese ability or just track their learning. The HSK is a great way for professionals to impress prospective employers with your commitment to learning Chinese, and an opportunity to continue improving your Chinese in a measured process.

If you want to learn Chinese, the Perth Beijing Chinese school is the place to be! I'm currently in the intermediate language classes (having also completed their beginner and pre-intermediate classes) and am still thoroughly enjoying each and every lesson. The teachers are all very passionate, engaging and friendly, and classes small and interactive. HSK (Chinese language competency) testing is also possible through the school making everything you need in the one place! So glad I chose to study at the PBCS!

With no experience I started HSK1 in Nov 2018 and HSK4 in Aug 2020. Xiaoli is my very dedicated teacher in 2020. Her attention to each student and her perceptions in assessment in all areas of learning is essential in our achievement. We all expect to be greatly improved under her much admired keen tuitionAt least 5 stars

As an individual with an international profile who regularly conducts business and also has many personal relationships in China, I highly recommend the Perth Beijing School for mature students wishing to learn to speak, listen/understand, read and write Chinese language.The class sizes are modest and allow personal interaction with teachers and fellow students. The school staff are highly responsive to students at all times and the learning experience encapsulates cultural elements, as it progresses, by its very interesting nature.Now progressing through HSK2 level, we are blessed with the superb 'laoshi' Li Xiaoli with very high level teaching and language ability; far broader than Chinese alone. This level of professionalism strongly supports the learning experience. Not only is the learning experience positive and productive, the value-for-money of their teaching 'product' is very good.Highly recommend PBCS; five stars here!Dennis Parsons.

Ken is a wonderful teacher who makes learning Chinese enjoyable and rewarding. He balances making sure we are learning everything we need to know with maintaining a positive, relaxed atmosphere where we can ask questions and make mistakes. The small class sizes mean you can learn from each other but still get plenty of individual attention.

The Mandarin classes are fantastic and our teacher, Li Xiaoli, goes above and beyond the classroom work and provides so much more info wrt use of the language in day to day scenarios and fun stuff including apps, music, food, etc!! Really enjoying the course and will definitely continue my further Mandarin education with them. Highly recommended!! :)

I really enjoyed the HSK 1 course and feel like I have a solid foundation for my Chinese learning now. Vanessa is a knowledgeable and very approachable teacher, and the lessons were always great fun. I'd highly recommend this school.

Vanessa is a terrific teacher, knowledgeable and extremely talented. She treats everyone exactly the same, with friendly kindness and a great willingness to answer all our questions. Plus she is very VERY patient, which is important for beginning students of Chinese. Class zips along because she makes it so much fun, and the exercises are varied and interesting. She's also very funny and energetic - I get a kick out of watching her ponytail fly around when she's in action. She's a truly brilliant language teacher; I've studied four languages over decades and have had a LOT of instructors! For what you get, great teachers, personal attention, and small classes, plus a very clean and neat building, Perth Beijing School really is an unbelievable bargain. Thanks so much!

The Perth Beijing Chinese School is a great school for anyone looking to learn Chinese! The teachers are patient and knowledgeable and keep the class going at a good pace. They also encourage questions and discussion in relation to vocabulary, characters, grammar, and so on. The school is also very flexible in terms of class attendance. I strongly recommend this school!

Alex is a patient teacher and approachable. Despite my busy work schedule, Alex has been accommodating for my skill level. I attend class once a week but have picked up a wealth of knowledge since. I highly recommend his classes to anyone who is interested in learning Mandarin! For a tough language, Alex helps you overcome it's difficulty and encourages you to have fun to improve! (Andrew)

Perth Beijing Chinese School students (Duncan Hogg & Justin Coetzee) ranked the 1st place in the Chinese language proficiency test (HSK1 and HSK2 on 3 December 2017) in Western Australia! 100% of Perth Beijing Chinese School students passed the test. Congratulations to our students!

I've been studying with Alex for 2 months now and have found him to be welcoming, attentive and flexible. The class sizes are small so we all get a chance to practice our speaking skills and be corrected on pronunciation. I would recommend these classes to everyone wanting to study mandarin. It's a much better format then large language classes and if classes are missed they can be made up at another time. Plus the night time classes are great for fitting around work, uni and other commitments.

My decision to enrol at the Perth Beijing Chinese School has proved to an excellent one. The methods of instruction by Mr Alex Shi are of the highest standard possible. His methodical approach to teaching the Chinese language is superb and I cannot believe how quickly we have progressed. Alex treats everyone with the highest respect and dignity and is very patient with all students. I highly recommend his services.
