She is always patient and makes sure you understand the material. I always look forward to our lessons. I couldn’t imagine studying with anyone else. Thank you Keren!

Awesome Chinese Teacher Keren老师, is an awesome teacher. I was looking on YouTube for ways to learn Chinese better and I came across her video about TPRS. Within the first 5 minutes, I said to myself she has to become my tutor!!! And she did! She gave me so much confidence to believe in my Chinese level. She helped me to enjoy preparing for Hsk 6 by going over the vocabulary and showing how to use them in real life. Not the textbook way. She is patient, kind, funny and honest. I would reccomend anyone from beginner to advanced Chinese learners to book a class with her.

Great Teacher I have taken 9 lessons with Keren so far and am very happy that I started. Keren is a very good teacher. She uses TPRS and focuses on Comprehensible Input to teach. She is very good at teaching proper sentence structures and making it feel natural.

The best language teacher I've ever had. I first saw Keren’s videos on Youtube, and was immediately impressed with how passionate she was and how fun her lessons looked so I reached out to her and we had a trial lesson. I was hooked immediately. The structure of the lesson was so clear, and you knew that at the end you would have not only learned new words and grammar patterns, but used them extensively in context. I love the idea of storytelling being a major part of the learning experience, and it’s clear that you can make a story as basic, or as advanced as you like. Keren plans each lesson meticulously, with a very clear structure, introducing verbs, nouns and adjectives, and then grammar points, coming up with actions to connect them with the real world, then we review the words in different ways, before moving on to questions based around these words, and stories, often based on a picture which we describe. At the end of the 50 minute lesson I have learned and used normally around 10-20 new words in lots of different contexts, I have a video of the whole thing, so I can rewatch it, and Keren sends through an audio recording of the story that we have constructed. Though I have been learning Chinese on and off now for 15 years, the last few months have been the most enjoyable and revitalising language learning experience I’ve ever had, thanks to both Keren, and TPRS.

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!
