I can't recommend learning Chinese with… I can't recommend learning Chinese with Keren enough. After a few months of classroom learning I realised I needed a different approach to progress with the language. Keren's lessons are engaging and always fun she always includes what interests you, which keeps the content interesting and relevant. I have learned more in 6 lessons than I did in 6 months of traditional methods! Thanks Keren!

Best Chinese teacher The teaching method emphasizes comprehensive inputs. The teacher speaks Chinese most of the time and uses fun, interesting stories to teach new vocabularies which the students can remember and recall easily.

Just take the course already! Keren has a true talent for education and a talent for teaching. This is true to the point where you don't really feel like you're in a class and then ten lessons later, you're shocked by your own progress. If you've ever taken language lessons before, you'll know that feeling of reaching a sort of plateau, struggling to continue conversation, etc. These are the sorts of experiences you will not have in this class. The ability Keren has to find your level, enter your skill range and modify vocabulary, speed and grammar accordingly is what will make you feel the most comfortable. Even if you have never taken a private Chinese course in your life, you'll feel at ease from the jump. For the technical folks out there, comprehensible input does work. Growing up in Canada, I wish this was the way I was taught French as well. It will solidify your passion for the language as well as your foundation as you progress. This method of language education is really becoming popular, however only really for English -- it is basically non-existent when it comes to Mandarin. In short, take this chance! Hop on the comprehensible input train to learn ((in))arguably the most useful language in the world.

When teaching, Keren listens and cares about you! Keren has a deep and thorough understanding of Comprehensible Input / TPRS. She’s the one who only needs to teach a student once and the student remembers her forever because of her fun and effective teaching style. Her sense of humor creates such an engaging vibe that students fully focus on the message she’s delivering, rather than trying to decode a different language. She cares about her students’ opinions and encourages them to clearly, and slowly, express themselves in the target language. Keren’s students have the sense of being seen and heard, rather than having to keep up with their teacher’s lessons that go by in a blur and feeling frustrated. As a comprehension based Chinese teacher myself, I’m so grateful that we have Keren in this field. She is a big player in spreading the word of Comprehensible Input / TPRS teaching. I look forward to seeing more and more language learners benefiting from her awesome teaching!

If you want to learn Chinese and do not… If you want to learn Chinese and do not like traditional learning. The TPRS learning way is the way to learn from Keren. She is awesome at teaching you and helping you understand conversation rather than remembering books that serve you no purpose.
