    Looking for Chinese reading and writing classes (advanced level, Putonghua)

    Can anybody recommend advanced level (approximately HSK 5) Chinese reading and writing classes for simplified characters?

    I have said this before but if you are serious about learning to write for putonghua, try out skritter.com. It's best if you have an iphone as you can then practice efficiently anywhere - MTR, waiting to meet someone etc. I don't have any connection with them other than spending a lot of time using the tool when I was practising for the old HSK advanced level written exam.

    Can't recommend a class but I used to write essays and get them graded from a teacher online for composition practise (again when preparing for HSK). I found in-person classes most useful for speaking and listening practise, particularly pronunciation. Given that you're probably looking at several hundred hours to learn to read and write you need something to balance the classes in any case otherwise it will get expensive.
