That was such a wonderful two-week experience at Keats School in Chengdu. The 1-on-1 classes were the highlight of the program. My teacher was excellent and adapted her teaching style to my learning needs, making it easy to improve quickly. She answered all of my questions concerning Chinese language, history and culture, and focused definitely on the areas where I needed the most help in terms of the language.

In just two weeks I have learnt a lot and the time went by very quickly. The campus is modern, the facilities are new, and it was easy to meet new people from around the world, as the school has arranged different extracurricular activities.

Chengdu also positively surprised me in many regards. It is a very amazing and large city, lots of very cool sights things to discover here, especially the Pandas, lots of ancient history and picturesque landscape.

I highly recommend Keats Chengdu to anyone who wants to improve their Chinese in an effective and enjoyable way. Thank you very much for everything and hope to see you next time again :).

The course was expertly tailored to my needs; on day 1, after arrival, my teacher took the time to assess my knowledge & work towards my specific goals of improving general conversational skills. I have been looked after at every step of my travel & the chosen accommodation has been clean & comfortable. The tours have been so much fun & I feel like I have seen so many beautiful places. I would recommend the one-on-one lessons & touring to anyone who wanted to enjoy China whilst improving their language skills.

I deeply enjoyed the month I spent at Keats Chengdu. The city is a mix of old and new, the vibes are incredible: old style tea houses, elegant parks, big malls and cool bars can be found in Chengdu. During my stay at Keats everything was amazing: from the people I met to the experiences, the food and learning.

I had studied some Chinese already but my teacher helped me improve my language skills on all levels: listening, speaking, pronunciation and grammar. It has been a challenging but rewarding journey that left me with the desire to come back and better my Chinese.

I’m also looking forward to visit other Keats campus’s and of course pay a visit to my teacher in Kunming!

I have enjoyed my stay immensely! Chengde is a very welcoming city, full of historical sites to visit (beautiful temples!) and a wonderful natural scenery. It is also one hour away from Beijing, which can be visited via train.

My Chinese classes at Keats School have been comprehensive. Zhang laoshi is very understanding and kind. We've worked on improving pronunciation and on writing characters, useful Chinese for everyday conversation (such as shopping, going to the doctor, booking tickets etc) and basic grammar. We have also been able to study Chinese poetry, such as the works of Li Bai and Du Fu, along with the rules of composition. My understanding of both language and culture has improved thanks to the lessons and the stay, and I feel more confident speaking. In general, I was able to solidify my knowledge and build upon it, and the teacher provided lots of varied material to study from.

I applied for the volunteer program and tutored an 11-year old in English. His family was very welcoming, and helped introduce me to life in Chengde. This was also a very positive experience.

Overall I am very happy with how this month turned out, and would absolutely recommend the experience!

The one-on-one course at Keats School in Beijing was a wonderful experience. Not only did it allow me to perfect my Chinese in just one month, but the program is also exquisitely designed, providing comprehensive support, attending to every need, and immersing you in a culture, society, and systems that would otherwise be difficult to access. In short, it was a marvel, an unforgettable experience that I highly recommend to anyone wanting to immerse themselves in China and study seriously with highly qualified professionals.

La experiencia en el curso 1 a 1 en Keats School en Pekín fue maravillosa. No sólo me permitió perfeccionar mi chino en solo un mes, sino que además el programa tiene un diseño exquisito, pensado para acompañarte en todo momento, atenderte en todo, introducirte en la cultura, sociedad y sistemas que de otra forma serían de difícil acceso. En resumen, una maravilla, una experiencia inolvidable y que recomiendo a todo elnque quiera introducirse en China y estudiar seriamente de la mano de profesionales muy cualificados.

I felt so at ease. Kunming is a very safe place. Keats school is very good, you can arrange your own level during class. Teachers, staff: everybody is so kind and helpful. Just go for it! It will change your life. You get a better understanding of China and its wonderful people.
The housing at Keats is basic yet comfortable. You have your private bathroom. Nice bed, good mattress!
And above all: with the window closed, you lock out the streetnoises!
Monday to friday you get three meals a day. As a vegetarian I was really pleased with the nice dishes. Weekend excursions are optional. I can recommend to go with the flow.
Evening activities are interesting: I' ve done handcrafting, made a bookmark for the first time in my life! Also Mahjong was a novelty and very entertaining.

I loved my time at Keats and enjoyed every moment! The school is in a perfect condition, everyone is very kind and well prepared. It was also so much fun to get to know all the other students from all around the world. Keats is a place where you can meet people from so many different countries and have the opportunity to get to know how life in all these countries works and what the cultural differences between all these are. The activities we did together were always highly fun. A stay at Keats is not only good for your Chinese speaking skills but also for your personal development overall. I will definitely come back to Keats!

I had an incredible time here at Keats Chengdu, from the learning to the excursions and immersion into the Chinese culture. I loved my teacher Claire’s teaching style, which I found extremely engaging and tailored to my level. Within a short span, I feel that my Chinese language level improved so much! Through the many excursions, culture nights and other activities, I truly felt immersed in the Chinese culture and was able to learn many new things. I also had the chance of meeting many people from all across the world! Such a fun experience overall and I’d highly recommend!
