One of the best Chinese TPRS/CI teachers out there! Keren is always such a professional, and one can easily tell that she has a lot of experience teaching Chinese through TPRS/Comprehensible Input. She is very patient and knows how to seamlessly adjust lessons to the individual's current level. In just a few lessons, my fluidity speaking Chinese, and speed understanding native speakers dramatically increased. If anyone is ever searching for a Chinese TPRS/CI teacher, then Keren is definitely the way to go!

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.

Keren taught me Chinese before I moved to China Keren taught me Chinese in 2018 before I departed to live in China. From the first lesson Keren had me speaking in Chinese and she spoke almost entirely in Chinese. Keren is experienced with comprehensive input which is a research proven method of learning language. Because I was departing for China, Keren and I focused on basics that I would need to know once I arrived including common phrases and characters. So if you have specific goals with your Chinese she can help you. For me the lessons helped me adjust after I moved to China and avoid culture shock so it was very worth it.

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!
