Student Visa to China Program

It’s been almost 2 months since I started the intensive course at GoEast. I have learned a lot since I started, more than I expected, I can already have some basic conversations with people. The teachers are really understanding and helpful with any kind questions whether it’s about learning Mandarin or day-to-day questions related to living in Shanghai. The school provides you with all kind of materials that put you in ideal conditions to learn Mandarin. The program is also very flexible so if you want to take some days off to travel for example it’s not a problem which I think is a big advantage.

I took the Goeast one on one classes summer before starting my masters in the fall. After not having been in China for almost 5 years my Chinese language abilities had gone down significantly, but Goeast help get me back into shape.

Firstly, Goeast helped me with the visa process. It had been a while since I had gone through the process of getting a Chinese visa but that was no problem because I had plenty of support from our first contact to showing up to their office in Shanghai. They are there to answer all your questions and provide the necessary documents.

Secondly, and probably most importantly, Goeast set me up with a Chinese host family. For me this was essential to begin building my Chinese network, constantly be practicing Chinese, learning increasingly more about everyday culture, and more. Having a Chinese family has been great and important to integrating well into Chinese society.

Thirdly, the one on one classes helped me focus on the parts of my Chinese that really needed attention and getting me prepared for life in China as a masters student. I could go at my own pace and whenever I needed extra attention on a subject I had more than I could ask for. Having this time with Goeast when I focused almost entirely on improving my Chinese helped me to form and develop invaluable Chinese studying habits and methods that l've carried with me to this day, many of which wouldn't have been possible without their help. It was a perfect sprint before the marathon that is having a long-term life in China.

Especially for those who place studying Chinese as a high priority, the Goeast classes are second to none. Wouldn't be where I am today without them.

I had an incredible experience with this language study program. The assistance provided for the X2 visa application was very helpful and efficient, making the process smooth and stress-free. The teachers are highly professional, and the structured course design ensured I made huge progress in just two months—far more than I achieved in two years outside of China. The friendly and active community was another highlight, offering opportunities to meet new friends and immerse myself in Chinese culture. This program is perfect for anyone serious about improving their language skills while enjoying a supportive and engaging learning environment. Highly recommended!

The program is very interesting and custom-made. The teachers and staff are very good, helpful and professional. They are also very flexible and try to help you as much as they can. It is no problem to, while you are studying change program, level or switch between group and private class. This flexibility is a major advantage of studying here. They also organize events from time to time where you are free to choose if you want to participate or not. Besides that, they are located near the metro station in the city center. So it's very easy to reach.
