Keats Chinese School Reviews

I spent 4 weeks studying Chinese at Keats. My Chinese improved a lot and I made connections with people from all over the world. This is a great school in a great location. I was able to explore many local places such as Jianshui and Dali. The teachers are very friendly and professional; you can speak with them in a relaxed manner whilst also being able to ask them any questions you may have about your course. Throughout my time at Keats I saw all different demographics enjoying their classes - from students to retirees - everyone I met was enthusiastic and kind.

Learning mandarin in kunming is so much fun. Kunmings weather is also very great even though it rains a lot here but it is oke. Teachers also really help with learning mandarin, she makes the class fun so even though there are a lot to learn but it is fun. There are also a lot of new friends that you can make here, from other countries so we can make new friends and also we can practice speaking mandarin with locals. They also have rooms, the rooms are also amazing and comfortable. It is fun here.

It's just the perfect place for learning Chinese. Weather is fine in summer, classes are interesting, there are many activities in order to discover the town. I tried Erhu, making Chinese food and calligraphy, all these were great. Just go for it (having the accommodation in the same building is so convenaient !) People are really helpfull, though I use a wheelchair and crutches I could manage to go around the city due to the fact the Subway stations all have lifts. Keats staff, thank you all. 谢谢你们。

I studied at the Chengde campus for 5 weeks and stayed in a dorm shared with 2 roommates. The dorm was spacious and clean. The teacher was very patient, kind, and attentive. He tailored the lessons to our needs. There is a lot of great food nearby, and a canteen right near the dorm which was very convenient. The campus is near a beautiful mountain and river landscape. I would walk along the river to and from class. This made my time in Chengde a relaxing, unique experience without the big city life of Beijing, which was exactly what I was looking for.

The quality of instruction is very high. My teacher was experienced and tailored lesson plans to my personal language goals (e.g. spoken vs. written fluency, conversational vs. written language). I felt my language skills improve even after one week of classes. The Keats school was responsive to requests and helpful in arranging logistics. It was a good pace to have classes for half the day in the morning and have time to explore Nanjing in the afternoon and evening. Visiting Nanjing was fun - it's a city with a lot of cultural significance and many historical sites both ancient and modern.

I absolutely loved my experience at Keats in Chengdu.
I felt well looked after; the school tended to my dietary requirements (I'm coeliac) and I had an efficient advisor who helped if I had a problem. Everything was very well organised.
As for the learning, I had 4 hours of individual classes every day, Monday to Friday. My teacher, Amber, was super lovely, friendly and very professional. I really feel I progressed a lot with her during the month we studied together. As an experienced teacher, she was very patient, knowledgeable and able to explain things clearly. She made me feel relaxed and comfortable during the classes. They were fun and well-structured and we had a really good time while studying. She used appropriate resources and we did a lot of revising, which I found very helpful. We talked a lot about China, its culture, the customs and that gave me a fuller picture of the country, making the immersion more complete.
In my free time, I managed to do a lot of sightseeing and took part in the activities organised by Keats.
I would recommend studying with Keats, whether you are a beginner or already familiar with Chinese, and personally I intend to return.

The school was very helpful. They can help with all the difficult paper work when you visit china. Thinks like visa, Sim card, local apps, and even bank account. It's amazing how fast all the staff are at helping you with any request. The teachers are very knowledgeable so regardless of your interests you can learn a lot. I also made many friends from around the world here. It's such a good environment being surrounded by hard working people. having the meals, free gym and accommodation sorted means you be healthy and focus on your study goals.

I had a great time at Keats Chinese School in Kunming. My teacher, Hua, was skilled and patient, and she tailored the lessons well to my level. Private lessons are perfect!

Kunming is a pleasant city to stay in. The weather is mild, the surroundings are green, and life there is relaxed. After class, it is easy to head out for a walk or grab a bite to eat in the city. The combination of quality instruction and a pleasant living environment makes learning here both efficient and enjoyable.

I am very satisfied with my choice. For anyone serious about learning Chinese with good teachers in a quiet, pleasant environment, Keats is highly recommended.

From the moment I stepped in i felt welcome. The staff were all extremley welcoming, and my room was great, It had a lot of space and a spacious bathroom. My lessons were amazing because as a high school student I had very specific things i had to learn. The best parts about my lessons were that they were tailored for my needs, this made it very quick and easy to learn chinese. Even though i was only here for two weeks, I really do feel like my chinese has improved a lot at keats in Kunming. It was an amazing experience overall.

It's a good program. I think they did a good job of teaching fundamentals of Chinese. For example, for Chinese writing, they started by teaching the names of the Chinese strokes. For pronunciation, they were diligent in explaining the initial and final sounds on the pinyin chart. During the exercises and lessons, they did a good job of using a consistent set of characters for the stories and reviewing vocabulary words multiple times. I think that the lessons did a good job of covering multiple modalities - writing, answering questions, and listening. When answering questions, I also liked that some of the questions require you to do some analysis of the scenario, rather than just drawing information directly from the text.
