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.

Effective and great program, however... Effective and great program, the majority of the teachers are great! However, professors who flaunt their MAs but can't maintain humility ("sore loser" attitude) when presented with facts and research don't advocate the leadership qualities a teacher should have, an important quality that should be transferred to students beyond just the lessons themselves.

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.

Keren is certainly an excellent teacher Keren is certainly an excellent teacher. Keren uses the comprehensible input method. This method was effective in acquiring words, as well as their use. One thing that I enjoyed about her classes was pronunciation, as Keren speaks slowly and firmly, this allowed me to learn to express myself basic Chinese quickly. Another virtue of her classes is that she does not feel the pressure to be learning, Keren on the other hand is a very patient and attentive teacher. I personally recommend her classes.

It’s hard to put into words… It’s hard to put into words how good a teacher Keren is, or how brilliant her course is, by which I mean, the course she has so thoroughly and painstakingly mapped out. There are so many ways to learn a language out there, with different pressure points and moments of struggle. Having lessons with Keren is basically cheating, not least because these moments do not exist. She has laid down the road for learning Chinese and watched, adjusted and perfected it as her many students have walked the path. How can I make such a claim? Well I reviewed and re-watched or listened to my single weekly lesson every day, somedays adding the previous week's lesson, etc. I got to a point in which I had almost memorised the lessons word for word (yes I know, but I love studying, and know the value of repetition in language learning). Even with this level of repetition, I was able to harvest new vocab and patterns of speech from every review. The more times I reviewed a lesson, the more layers were revealed. I reached a point, perhaps after watching a lesson 7 or so times, that I began to notice with incredulity that Keren seemed to predict and be prepared for every type of situation that arose or mistake I made. Even when I knew what was coming, she was still many steps ahead of me! Not only that, she would correct the mistakes often without me realising, even picking and choosing when to do so. Keren is an expert, a master teacher, constantly weighing up what’s going on, if you’re enjoying yourself and what to do next. She taps into a genuine wealth of experience and creates what I would describe as a genuinely exhilarating learning experience. Regardless of studying Chinese, this in itself makes the lessons worthwhile. This is the real deal. It is not made to be scalable (beware of every app, book or non human “method” of learning a language), it is made to be as effective as possible for the student, thus it necessitates heavy involvement from the teacher, just as a parent is heavily involved in teaching a child their first language. After 10 lessons with Keren, I was speaking with another Chinese teacher and she literally did a double take when I told her I’d had only 10 lessons, and said that I’m already between HSK2-3. It’s true I can already have a very basic exchange with a native speaker, yet although I have a really long way to go, when the process is this enjoyable, I’m certainly not impatient for it’s end! Thank you so much Keren. I’m glad I discovered you while you still had some availability!
