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.

Just take the course already! Keren has a true talent for education and a talent for teaching. This is true to the point where you don't really feel like you're in a class and then ten lessons later, you're shocked by your own progress. If you've ever taken language lessons before, you'll know that feeling of reaching a sort of plateau, struggling to continue conversation, etc. These are the sorts of experiences you will not have in this class. The ability Keren has to find your level, enter your skill range and modify vocabulary, speed and grammar accordingly is what will make you feel the most comfortable. Even if you have never taken a private Chinese course in your life, you'll feel at ease from the jump. For the technical folks out there, comprehensible input does work. Growing up in Canada, I wish this was the way I was taught French as well. It will solidify your passion for the language as well as your foundation as you progress. This method of language education is really becoming popular, however only really for English -- it is basically non-existent when it comes to Mandarin. In short, take this chance! Hop on the comprehensible input train to learn ((in))arguably the most useful language in the world.

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.

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 can't recommend learning Chinese with… I can't recommend learning Chinese with Keren enough. After a few months of classroom learning I realised I needed a different approach to progress with the language. Keren's lessons are engaging and always fun she always includes what interests you, which keeps the content interesting and relevant. I have learned more in 6 lessons than I did in 6 months of traditional methods! Thanks Keren!
