Pass your HSK.
With confidence.

Yes. A new framework called HSK 3.0 expands the exam to nine levels and raises the vocabulary required at most levels. The first official HSK 3.0 exam takes place worldwide on 13 December 2026. Test dates before then still use the old format, so check with your test center which version you will sit. We teach to the new framework, so you study HSK 3.0 vocabulary from your first lesson. Read our full guide to HSK 3.0.

If you are new to Chinese, start at HSK 1. If you already know some Chinese, tell us what you have studied when you book, and your teacher starts at the right level. Most adult beginners reach HSK 3 within 6 to 12 months of regular lessons.

With one or two lessons per week and daily review of your PDF notes, most students are ready for HSK 1 or 2 within a few months. Higher levels take longer, but progress is consistent with regular practice.

Not at all. We work from a shared document during every lesson and you receive a personalized PDF afterwards. Over time this becomes your own complete study guide. Textbooks are optional.

Absolutely. Many students combine both in the same lesson, as the vocabulary and structures overlap significantly. We shape every lesson around what you need.

Packages are valid for a minimum of 6 months and up to one year from the date of purchase, giving you plenty of flexibility.
