Program Reviews

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.

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.

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 !

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！

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!

Great experience at Keats Kunming! The city is very pleasant in summer, not too hot compared to some other cities. The fact that the dormitory is located in the same building than the school is very convenient. I had group classes in the morning, we were between 3 and 5 students depending on the week. There was a very good learning and pleasant atmosphere during the class. I liked the fact that the courses were pretty dense, we had a lot of material we could review in the afternoon. I particularly want to thank my teacher 彭璐, who was very skilled and gave us confidence in practicing Chinese. I also enjoyed the outdoor class activities we did on Fridays! I made great progress during this month. 谢谢老师 💗

Studying at Keats School in Chengdu has been an amazing journey. From the first day, I felt welcomed and supported by the entire team. The school provides a professional yet warm environment, making learning Chinese both effective and enjoyable.

The teachers at Keats are truly outstanding. They are highly qualified, patient, and encouraging. Each lesson is well-organized, interactive, and tailored to my personal pace. They use creative methods to improve my speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills. What I appreciate most is that they always go the extra mile — answering questions after class, recommending useful materials, and ensuring I fully understand before moving on.

The school itself is very well-managed, with comfortable classrooms, modern facilities, and a friendly atmosphere. The staff are always helpful, whether for study advice or daily life tips.

Beyond the excellent school, Chengdu is a truly beautiful city. It is famous for its rich culture, delicious food like hotpot and mapo tofu, and relaxing lifestyle. I have visited Jinli Ancient Street, Kuanzhai Alley, and the Panda Base — all amazing places. The city is green, safe, and easy to get around. The pleasant weather and friendly locals make living here a real joy.

I have made great progress in Chinese thanks to the high-quality teaching at Keats. Every day, I feel more confident speaking and understanding the language. My classmates are also friendly and come from different countries, which makes learning even more interesting.

In summary, studying at Keats School in Chengdu has been a life-changing experience. The school is great, the teachers are fantastic, and the city is beautiful. I strongly recommend Keats to anyone who wants to learn Chinese in a supportive and inspiring environment. It is not just a language school — it feels like a second home to me.

Our experience in KEATS Beijing was absolutely amazing. From the moment we arrived, everything was perfectly organised, and we always felt supported and well taken care of.

We lived in the hotel nearby the school, which was super convenient. In the morning, we had the lessons that were engaging, well-structured, and perfectly tailored to our level. Our children had their own Chinese lessons and loved them so much that couldn't wait for the next lesson to begin.

In the afternoon, we visited Beijing iconic landmarks like the Great Wall of China and the Forbidden City, which was truly unforgettable. We also had a wushu class that we enjoyed a lot.

Our teachers were exceptional, their enthusiasm and genuine care for us made our stay unforgettable. Thanks to them, we not only improved our language skills but also took away lasting memories. This was one of the best learning experiences I’ve had, and we would love to come back.

I am a 60 American who struggled in school my whole life. I have lots of painful memories of not being successful in my education all the way through college.

I wanted to begin my Chinese language journey with a school and a teacher that would support me and create an experience I could build on for the rest of my life.

I found the perfect school and the perfect teacher. For that I will be forever grateful!

My six weeks at Keats was life changing and productive in every way imaginable. The facility is amazing! The location in Kunming is ideal. The administrative support was world class!

First, let's start with the city. I have been to 16 cities in China, and Kunming is by far my favorite. From unbelievably consistent and gorgeous weather to an amazingly efficient and easy-to-understand subway station to the ability to have a different Chinese delicacy every night, it is a city that has all of the things you need in a big town with the personality and charm of a small town.

As great as the city and the school were, the best thing about my experience was the unbelievable customization of the learning experience. I had not been a student in nearly 40 years, I was worried that I simply wouldn’t be able to do it.

From the moment I started, everyone at Keats believed in me and supported me as if they were my personal cheerleaders! Especially my teacher. She told me everyday that she believed in me. She was patient, kind and inspirational in every way. She is now my friend as well as my teacher.

I am sure that I was not the best student Keats has had but I learned way more than I thought I could. I will continue my education and Chinese journey with Keats and I recommend this program with enthusiasm and confidence!

Thank you Keats!!!

From beginning to end, I was very welcomed and everything was arranged for me before arrival. Daily 1:1 classes were 100% customized to my level, and the class schedules were flexible upon request in advance. I had a hard time figuring out my level in terms of vocabulary or grammar since I personally have learned Mandarin Chinese only with TV or films, but at the 1:1 consultation on the arrival date I could figure out and decide what level/chapter to begin with. I asked so many questions that often exceeded my current levels but still Amber answered all of them kindly and explained it to me. What I liked most was she let me and waited for me to speak in Chinese, so I got to practice and apply new words or grammar points as much as I want. Every weekday 3 warm homemade meals were served, and they were all very tasty and healthy. I was a bit concerned of the spice before coming to Sichuan, but all the meals were not too spicy and had a great balance in nutrition. I used a room by myself that has a bunkbed, and the room had everything I need that was metioned in the guide shared prior to arrival. The school is very close to the subway station, and traveling to other parts of the city was very easy. I mainly used the subway or a didi(taxi) but I noticed bikes are also very easy to rent and use to travel within the city. Wherever I go I felt safe, and the streets were so clean, but also full of great foods. I wish I could stay longer in Chengdu—I’ll definitely come back in the future!

My first time at Keats to try to build a basic foundation of Chinese language. Kunming is a terrific place to live and learn. Keats takes advantage of being located in a wonderful location to include activities to get to know Chinese and specifically Yunnan culture, food, and people.

I had a wonderful experience throughout my 5 week stay. What stood out was how friendly and supportive all of the staff were—everyone consistently went out of their way to help students feel comfortable and cared for. My teacher, Su Laoshi, was incredibly professional, experienced, and patient. She created a positive learning environment and was always kind, even sharing Chinese food with me, which made the experience feel very personal and memorable. I've been to China before but could see how Keats is a great place for first time China visitors. The staff help students understand how to navigate China.

The school also does a great job of bringing people together. It’s easy to meet students of all ages and language levels, and I really enjoyed the shared Chinese meals and optional activities and excursions. That helped build friendships and made learning even more enjoyable. I met wonderful people, like the staff Willow, Lily and Su Laoshi, as well as students of all ages from many different countries.

From a learning perspective, I found that Keats allows students to tailor their learning, whether focusing on spoken or written Chinese, while also learning culture. After five weeks in Kunming, I’ve improved and had an unforgettable time. I truly hope to return for a longer stay to continue learning and explore more of Yunnan.
