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!

One of the best Chinese TPRS/CI teachers out there! Keren is always such a professional, and one can easily tell that she has a lot of experience teaching Chinese through TPRS/Comprehensible Input. She is very patient and knows how to seamlessly adjust lessons to the individual's current level. In just a few lessons, my fluidity speaking Chinese, and speed understanding native speakers dramatically increased. If anyone is ever searching for a Chinese TPRS/CI teacher, then Keren is definitely the way to go!

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.

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.

She is always patient and makes sure you understand the material. I always look forward to our lessons. I couldn’t imagine studying with anyone else. Thank you Keren!
