I just returned from China after completing three weeks of 1-on-1 classes in Keats School in Chengdu. My overall impression on both the curriculum, living conditions and support on behalf of the school is very good. I feel that my listening and speaking skills improved and I learned lots of new words, meaning and correct usage of which were explained in detail by my teachers. My teachers were Ms. Zhou Yi and Ms. Pan Ying (周乙 and 潘颖), and the lessons they arranged for me were very interesting and interactive. They used different ways of teaching, including speaking, listening practice, translation, and reading. I'm really thankful for their support and encouragement, and looking forward to studying in this school again when I have chance. The school's life assistant Claire was exceptionally supportive and willing to help. The tours, food nights, cultural events she organized were so cool! And I also liked the meals provided by the school - I'm glad I had the chance to taste so many different home-made Chinese food, which was very delicious. Many thanks to the school for the warm welcome and perfect organization of my stay there!

I had a really fantastic time studying at Keats school in Kunming, China. I did a 2 week program for four hours a day with Yuki and I found the whole experience to be fantastic. Yuki was a terrific teacher who was both fun and really good at teaching. She explained things in a way which was clear and suited my skill level. In a short time, I learned so much and I enjoyed it every day. Keats school is also a great place to stay. The three meals provided each day were healthy and tasty. The staff are really caring and helpful, and I really enjoyed getting to know the other students. I really enjoyed my time in Keats so much. I hope to visit again very soon.

My experience at the Chengdu campus has been truly positive. The school itself is excellent, very modern, with beautiful infrastructure. The classrooms are well-equipped and comfortable, with air conditioning, and there’s also a lovely terrace that makes the whole environment even more enjoyable.

As always, the lessons were extremely useful. Ms. Pan is a great teacher, we focused a lot on listening and conversation, along with some key grammar structures, which made everything very practical and engaging. What I really appreciated is how she adapted the lessons to my needs, making the experience both effective and personalized.

Claire deserves a special mention, she is incredibly kind and always available to help in any situation. The school also organizes a wide variety of activities, which are great for immersing yourself in the local culture and making the experience even richer.

Overall, this has been a truly unique experience, and I sincerely hope to repeat it in the future.

The Keats School has been one of the best investments I’ve made in my Chinese learning journey. Their focus on tailoring the learning experience to each student really sets them apart, and it led to dramatic improvement in my own Chinese in a short period of time. I also saw the same kind of progress in many of the other students around me. I spent one week studying in Jingmai Tea Mountain and time at their headquarters in Kunming, and both were incredible experiences in their own way. I was fortunate to have Rose as my instructor, and she was outstanding. She was patient, diligent, highly skilled, and knew exactly when to push me further and when to slow down to strengthen weaker areas in my foundation. Each day we worked through vocabulary and grammar review, dialogue practice, reading, and writing, and every lesson felt purposeful and personalized. In the afternoons, the school organized excursions that added a whole new dimension to the learning experience. We visited beautiful places, interacted with friendly locals, and had guided experiences around both the tea mountain and Kunming. It gave me a much deeper sense of Chinese culture that added an extra dimension of understanding to the language. Another thing I appreciated was how organized and thoughtful the program was. At the end of each day, detailed lesson notes were sent to me for review, and custom flashcards were created daily to help reinforce what I had learned. That level of support made it easy to keep improving. Overall, the program offered the perfect balance of academic rigor and real cultural immersion. I would highly recommend Keats School to anyone serious about learning Chinese.

I had a wonderful learning experience with Keats Chinese's school in Beijing. The school is very conveniently located in the heart of Chaoyang district, which makes it very easy to get access to a wide range of cultural experiences unique to Beijing. The city's environnement is very welcoming, and navigation is made easy through apps like AliPay and Weixin. At no point during my trip did I feel lost or unsafe, despite the size of the city. The teaching staff is extremely helpful and encouraging, providing personnalised teachings according to your own goals and chinese proficiency. Beyond teaching, they also provide help with any problems you might encounter during your trip, whether it be ticket reservation or navigating local applications. The teachers' ability to go above and beyond the scope of simply teaching was the highlight of my trip. I really recommend this course to those wishing to take their chinese mastery to the next level. Thank you Keats !

I came to Kunming to study at Keats Languages because I had heard it was a good school and I was keen to visit Kunming. My experience far exceeded my expectations. The staff were invariably friendly and helpful and I loved all the excursions, activities and meals that the school arranged. Easily the best aspect of my time here was the excellent teaching. My teacher is extremely gifted and I have learned a lot from her. She is hardworking, with fantastic lesson preparation and follow-up summaries. She is thoughtful and sensitive to my learning needs and my interests in Chinese culture and language, including many helpful excursions to bookshops, stationery stores and coffee shops — essential to keeping my level of concentration high!

I had a lovely two weeks with Keats in Kunming. Such a well organised school for Mandarin would-be speakers of all ages. At the airport a driver whisks you off to Keats where within one building you have accommodation, tuition and meals.

I choose one-on-one classes and had two lovely young ladies - Ms Pi and Ms Su - holding my hand as I tried to navigate my way through grammar, pronunciation, recalling words, etc. They were encouraging and enthusiastic and tailor-made the lessons to suit my rather low levels 😂. Keats was very accommodating when I found the six hours-a-day I had signed up for a bit much and let me switch to the four hour-a-day option. The hours not used will be held in credit for when I return. A big shout-out to my teachers who noticed me battling with the glare from outside when in the tuition room, and subsequently had lace curtains installed.

The school is well located near downtown Kunming and on all cultural activities we were accompanied by a local who made sure we could catch the Metro, etc. No matter your age, there were like-minded students to befriend and my only regret is that I only booked for two weeks! I'll be back.

È la terza scuola che provo in Cina e senza dubbio è quella dove mi sono trovata meglio! Le insegnanti hanno un metodo che ho trovato molto utile e il fatto che organizzino tutti i giorni una attività, la differenzia dalla maggior parte delle scuole che vedo in giro!

C'è la serata cinema ( mi hanno fatto conoscere un bellissimo film), la serata dove si va a cena in un posto caratteristico, una serata dedicata a un bel giro alla conoscenza delle vie con street food e vie centrali, c' è la serata sport (io ho giocato a ping pong, uno spasso) , la serata culturale: a noi hanno insegnato l'arte del dipinto cinese usando il pennello in modo particolare, un giorno al museo, un giorno in un bellissimo parco e gite fuori porta.

Mi sono sentita molto ben accolta. Una gestione ottima di tutto.

Grazie ancora e spero di rivedervi presto 🥰

This is the third school I've tried in China, and it's definitely the one I've had the best time with! The teachers have a method I've found very useful, and the fact that they organize an activity every day sets them apart from most schools I see around!

There's movie night (they introduced me to a great film), dinner night at a quaint restaurant, an evening dedicated to a nice stroll around the streets with street food and the main streets, sports night (I played ping pong, which was fun), cultural night: they taught us the art of Chinese painting, using a special brush, a day at the museum, a day in a beautiful park, and trips out of town.

I felt very welcome. Everything was excellently managed.

Thank you again, and I hope to see you again soon 🥰
