Tutoring has proven effective in advancing students' linguistics skills. PRC Study provides one-on-one after class tutoring lessons for students. Tutors are native Chinese teachers, certified in teaching Chinese as a second language. Tutors offer invaluable personal support and assistance in monitoring individual progress throughout the study program and can assist students with language coaching, homework assignments, conversational practice, tips and advice, and more.

	Interacting with local Chinese people is an essential part of the immersion program. At the start of the program, PRC Study arranges for each student to have a local Chinese student as a language buddy. Not only does this provide the perfect opportunity to practice Putonghua, it also enables cultural and social exchange and an opportunity to make new friends.

7) Using and Borrowing Reference Materials

Students can use the PRC Study Library full of Chinese reference materials and DVDs, with rights to borrow reference material for a three-day period for home use.
