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!

Brilliant Teacher, Fantastic Unique Style Keren is a fantastic teacher with her own unique ways of teaching (living up to her brand name perfectly)! She is super comfortable, speaks strong English and teaches you incredibly useful things for day to day life in China. I discovered Keren on YouTube and her intro video sold me immediately. She's a great person to have around and makes learning Mandarin genuinely fun. For me, this much more fun than just taking a Mandarin class and sitting with a textbook.

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.

Keren's classes are practical and fun Keren's classes are practical and fun. She mixes in just the right amount of input and output. Since I started taking her classes, I have noticed huge improvements in my ability to speak and understand Chinese. I always feel challenged in her class, but at the same time, we have a lot of fun. I highly recommend her. When I struggle with complicated sentence patterns, she repeats them back to me so I can hear what the proper response should be. Keren is very intentional about placing me in the right group where I can feel comfortable, yet her classes are rigorous. I'm so glad I found her.

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.
