About Program

The intensive one-on-one Chinese Program at Keats School is the most popular, and efficient, way to learn the Chinese language. One-on-one lessons give teachers the chance to meet the individual needs and interest of each student. It also gives the student more opportunities to practice speaking Chinese and to get real-time correction. At Keats School we individualize each lesson by developing curricula that matches the students proficiency level and goals. Teachers speak standard Mandarin and are fluent in English. The methods and different activities that we use at Keats will maximize the amount that a student learns in the time they study Chinese here.

You can choose to take the one-on-one Chinese lessons in the following locations:
- Kunming (headquarters)
- Chengdu
- Beijing
- Shanghai
- Chengde
- Xi'an
- Nanjing
- Zhangjiajie
- Dali
- Lijiang
- Xishuangbanna
- Tengchong
- Jianshui
- Puzhehei
- Jingmai Tea Mountain

Amazing one week Keats experience!

I had a great experience during my one-week stay at Keats, where I took four hours of Chinese lessons each day. Even in such a short time, I learned a lot, which made the experience very rewarding and motivating.

My teacher, Ms. Du, was very kind and supportive. She adapted the lessons to my learning pace and needs, making everything clear and accessible even though I am not a fast learner. Her patience and encouragement made learning Chinese enjoyable. Besides the lessons, I also learned a lot about Chinese culture and we visited interesting places in Kunming, which also made it a very special experience!

Communication with Keats was very easy and well-organized. The airport pick-up and drop-off service was ideal and made arriving and leaving very smooth. The accommodation provided everything I needed and was comfortable for my stay. Also, there was a daily activity organized that students could sign up for, and I really enjoyed participating in these activities!

Also, Kunming is a beautiful and diverse city with the kindes people living there.
Overall, it was a very positive and memorable experience.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Don’t be afraid to set your boundaries. Everyone at Keats is super friendly and they want to help you with everything. Even if something doesn’t work out right away, you will be supported, and they will adjust things to make them suitable for you.That way, you really make your learning process your own.

Learning Chinese in Chengdu

I studied Chinese 4 weeks at Keats in Chengdu. Chengdu is a beautiful city. I enjoyed walking around the streets and drinking some tea. There were also activities organised by the school. You can visit interesting places, learn how to play Mahjong, … And if you have questions/problems there is an school advisor you can ask for help.

The classes were very interesting and I learned a lot (grammar, new words, Chinese characters). My teacher Pan laoshi was very good. She also gave me some advice, where to go in Chengdu. We also talked about interesting themes.

Now you can learn with Keats in so many cities. I already learned with Keats in Kunming, Dali and Chengdu. I always really enjoyed my stay in China and learning chinese with Keats.

8 weeks in Keats Chengdu

Bardzo dobrze wspominam naukę w Keats. Szkoła jest świetnie zorganizowana, klasy są przyjazne, a materiały do nauki bardzo pomocne. Każdego dnia czułam duży postęp. Keats to naprawdę dobre miejsce do nauki chińskiego.

Chengdu to piękne miasto. Jedzenie jest pyszne, ludzie są serdeczni, a atmosfera spokojna i przyjemna. Po zajęciach lubiłam spacerować po mieście. Chengdu ma w sobie coś wyjątkowego – sprawia, że czujesz się szczęśliwy.

Nauczycielki w Keats były najlepsze. Były cierpliwe, miłe i bardzo profesjonalne. Zawsze tłumaczyły wszystko dokładnie i pomagały mi, gdy miałam pytania. Dzięki nim mój chiński poprawił się bardzo szybko. Czułam się wspierana i zmotywowana.

Podsumowując, jestem bardzo zadowolona z Keats, z Chengdu i z moich nauczycielek. Wszystko było doskonałe. Jeśli ktoś chce uczyć się chińskiego, polecam to miejsce z całego serca.

In summary, I am very happy with Keats, Chengdu, and my teachers. Everything was excellent. If anyone wants to learn Chinese, I wholeheartedly recommend this place.

Keats School Chengdu Review

This was a transformative program. It offers intensive 1 on 1 classes that can help you become fluent in a relatively short time. The city of Chengdu is really nice and the food is good. Claire, the director of the campus, is an amazing person and she’s always there when you need her. The food at the school is really delicious. Āyí is a kind person and cooks amazing food. And finally, my teacher Pan Laǒshī does a great job at helping me become fluent. The classes are engaging, educational, and inspiring. I have learned so much in 2 weeks.

Mi opinión sobre Keats, Chengdu y mis profesores

Estudié chino en Keats y fue una experiencia maravillosa. La escuela me gustó mucho. Las clases eran interesantes, el ambiente era cómodo y aprendí muchísimo en poco tiempo. Todo estaba bien organizado y los materiales eran muy útiles. Recomiendo Keats a todos los que quieran aprender chino de verdad.

Chengdu me encantó. Es una ciudad muy bonita, con comida deliciosa y gente amable. Me gustaba caminar por las calles después de clase. La vida allí era tranquila pero divertida. Chengdu tiene algo especial que te hace sentir feliz.

Mis profesoras eran lo mejor. Eran muy pacientes, simpáticas y profesionales. Siempre explicaban bien mis dudas y me ayudaban mucho. Cuando no entendía algo, lo repetían sin problema. Gracias a ellas, mi chino mejoró rápido. También me sentí muy apoyada y motivada.

En resumen, estoy muy contenta con Keats, con Chengdu y con mis profesoras. Todo fue excelente. Si alguien quiere aprender chino, este es el lugar perfecto. Lo recomiendo sin dudar.

Boulet May 2026

Ma professeure a construit le programme de mon cours en fonction de mes besoins et de mes attentes. Son approche pédagogique était excellente. Elle a su trouver les moyens efficaces pour me faire progresser rapidement et corriger mes nombreuses erreurs.

En ce qui concerne l'organisation du stage,les informations reçues en amont sont claires et précises.La directrice de l'école est toujours sur le pont pour veiller à ce que tout se déroule bien et que les étudiants puissent se consacrer pleinement à leurs études.

Pour avoir déjà pratiqué d'autres écoles celle-ci sort largement du lot. J'y reviendrai sans hésitation.

English:
My professor tailored my course program to my needs and expectations. Her teaching approach was excellent. She found effective ways to help me progress quickly and correct my many mistakes.

Regarding the internship organization, the information I received beforehand was clear and precise. The school director is always available to ensure everything runs smoothly and that students can fully dedicate themselves to their studies.

Having attended other schools, this one stands out from the rest. I will definitely return.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
N'hésitez pas à suivre des cours organisés par cette école.La formule de l'internat permet une excellente socialisation avec les autres étudiants.
La direction de l'école est particulièrement soucieuse du bien-être des étudiants.

Miracles can be done in 1 week !

I arrived at Keats School, Kunming with Little to no Chinese at all. My teacher, Lǐ laǒshì was so nice, patient and very efficient. In one week, I succeeded to learn pinyin, tones, grammar. Now I know how to present myself, shopping alone, take public transport and ask for help. I’m more confident with my Chinese now and the week was very amazing with so much activities. Every day, the school proposed something to do, and the food included was always good. I made friends from all over the world. I will definitely come back !

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
I will take the afternoon classes. I’m not a morning person so 4h of lessons at 8:30am, was very hard. Even if the teacher was amazing.

Keats最高

オススメします!日本人なら文字はある程度読めるので、リスニングとスピーキングを勉強しに来ました。マンツーマンのレッスンでスピーキングに特化して勉強してかなり聞き取れるようになったと思います。
個人的には生徒同士の交流が一番楽しかったし、中国語の勉強にもなりました。簡単な英語が話せればですが。。1週間のうち半分以上は出掛けていました。
私は1週間しかいなかったですが、オススメは2週間らしいです。中には、成都の校舎に2週間、昆明の校舎に2週間行っている人もいました。
来年また来たいと思います!

English:
I highly recommend it! Since I'm Japanese, I can read the characters to some extent, so I came to study listening and speaking. I think my listening comprehension has improved considerably through one-on-one lessons focused specifically on speaking.

Personally, I enjoyed interacting with other students the most, and it was also helpful for my Chinese studies. That is, if you can speak simple English. I was out and about for more than half of the week.

I was only there for a week, but apparently two weeks is recommended. Some people even went to the Chengdu campus for two weeks and the Kunming campus for two weeks.

I want to come again next year!

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
金曜日は先生と一緒に外出してレッスンするのですが、成都で有名な「お見合い広場」に連れて行ってくれたり、火鍋を一緒に食べたりしました。
