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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
