Excellent

Kunming is probably one of the most pleasant cities in China to live in and improve your Mandarin.The climate is pleasant year round ,people are fairly easy going, and there are plenty of easily accessible places of interest to visit in the surrounding region of Yunnan. Mandarin is widely and commonly spoken so from the point of view of exposure to the language to assist your learning it provides all that you need.

Keats itself is a very professionally run school with a nice balance of professional and structured teaching on the one hand and extracurricular activities on the other.

The most important aspect of a school clearly is the quality of its teachers. From my experience Keats pays attention to this. I was very satisfied with the quality of the teaching. The teacher, Willow, had a nice balance of informality and focus on learning, making the classes both enjoyable and challenging .She prepared each days lesson well ,identifying previous issues or difficulties and incorporating them into the next class. Post class ‘homework’ was also well prepared to reinforce that days lesson.

Additionally she readily offered support and recommendations regarding living in Kunming, restaurants etc.

All in all I would thoroughly recommend both Keats and my teacher Willow.
Hope to return
