We offer tailored Mandarin programs for learners of all ages — from young children and teenagers to adult beginners and HSK candidates. Founded in 2019, Hanlin Chinese School Perth is committed to delivering engaging, structured and culturally rich Chinese education guided by experienced teachers.
Our courses adopt an immersive teaching approach that places students in a fully Chinese environment supported by authentic communicative tasks and engaging interactive activities. Through contextual guidance, role-play, and discussions, students quickly form language intuition and improve fluency.
Our teaching team consists of experienced educators who specialize in teaching Chinese as a second language. They combine structured teaching methods with cultural insights and provide assessments, observations, and feedback to help learners track progress and target improvements.
We integrate learning objectives into engaging and playful activities to keep classes dynamic and highly participatory. Stories, games, songs, and classical poems help students absorb vocabulary and grammar naturally while strengthening motivation and expression.
We pay close attention to each student’s language foundation and learning goals and provide personalized guidance accordingly. Teachers adapt strategies and offer targeted practice, ensuring children, HSK candidates, and adults learning for work or travel all receive effective, personalized support.
Our private lessons are customised for children, teens, and adults, matching each learner’s goals and pace. The curriculum is flexible and supports remote learning, covering speaking, reading, writing, and pronunciation, with targeted feedback to support quick, steady progress.
Our small group classes emphasize interactive learning and collaboration. With limited class sizes, teachers can track each student’s progress and offer timely feedback. Lessons focus on everyday communication through scenarios, pair work, role-play, and games.
Designed for HSK candidates, these courses follow the exam syllabus and key question types. Students build vocabulary, grammar, and all four language skills through focused practice and mock tests, gaining strong strategies and confidence for the exam.
