Student Testimonial - "I did a four week course at PRC-CIE Academy in June 2005. I'm now working in Shanghai
for a consultancy company. PRC Study gave me a really good foundation
in Mandarin. When I got back to my home university in January
2006 after my travel adventures, I was placed in the Chinese 2
language class even though I was a total beginner when I started
at PRC Study and had not studied Mandarin since your course in
June 2005 – that's how good the classes at PRC Study
were. " Cathryn Masuda, Hawaii State University, USA.

In class instructions with real life teachers is an absolute requirement because such classes provide structure in our learning and motivates us. But what happens you are not in class?

In that case, PRC Study also has a perfect solution.

our teaching curriculum for which students can use on PRC Study
premise during non-scheduled class times. This software corresponds
with different Chinese proficiency levels and to the text books
and materials which students use in class. You can use the courseware
and progress at your own individual comfort and speed to constantly
reinforce what you have learned in class. Our multi-media courseware

Chinese as it offers:

service, and tutoring that I had at PRC Study. PRC Study is more

companies that could be described at best as tourist organizations.
PRC Study is the people who became my friends in Beijing, my family,

highest praise I can give them is this: Vivian I'll be back
soon to see you all." Scott Devary, USA.
