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.

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.

If you want to learn Chinese and do not… If you want to learn Chinese and do not like traditional learning. The TPRS learning way is the way to learn from Keren. She is awesome at teaching you and helping you understand conversation rather than remembering books that serve you no purpose.

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.
