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.

I think the hardest thing for a… I think the hardest thing for a language teacher is to explain a complex problem in a simple and effective way, a way that students can understand and apply in a real situation in a very short time. Keren does it in a relaxed and humorous way. This is not easy for a teacher, most teachers explain questions in a more complex way. I had been trying to apply comprehensible input (CI) teaching methods in my own classes. I found teaching videos online and participated in training. I tried to apply these methods in my own classes, but felt that although I learned the essence of CI teaching, I could not apply it effectively. After trying four or five times, I considered giving up. A friend recommended that I watch some of Keren’s demo teaching videos. Finally, I got my “aha!” moment when I was watching one of Keren's live video lessons. I could not believe that I had been trying for so long and I did not get it. Now, after watching only one of Keren’s videos, I totally understand CI and know how to apply it in my class. This experience seemed like a miracle to me, but it is so true. I have helped my students in a more effective way since I applied the CI method. My students are improving three or more times faster than before. I am so lucky to know Keren. She is an excellent teacher. She has been very generous in sharing her teaching experiences and resources with me. I have never seen such a generous teacher as Keren. She is a CI teaching method promoter, and she wants more teachers to apply this effective teaching method. I discovered more of the CI teaching field because of Keren's guidance. I have to admit that I work harder to apply this teaching method because Keren is such a positive influence. Her teaching talent, hard work, professionalism, charisma, and influence deserve my deep admiration.

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.

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.

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.
