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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
