When you decide to learn Chinese in China, you may be curious what’s included in tuition. At Keats School in Kunming, China, the tuition doesn’t just include classes, it includes a lot more to be excited about.
In this blog post, we’ll break down everything you get when you sign up for our intensive one-on-one Chinese classes.

Our most popular course option at Keats School is our intensive one-on-one. Not only is it the most popular, but it’s also the best way to learn Mandarin and the easiest way to learn the Chinese language. Keats has been offering this study abroad program in China since we were founded in 2004.
The tuition for the one-on-one class depends on the program duration you choose and how many hours of studying you’d like to do.
Classes run from 1 week long to 52 weeks, and you can choose to study Mandarin in China for 4 or 6 hours a day.
Most of our students who apply for the intensive one-on-one class learn Mandarin in China for 4 to 12 weeks and study for 4 hours a day.
In addition to learning Mandarin in China course with a private instructor, you receive a lot more when studying at Keats Chinese.
First, you can pick a package you’d like to include in your lessons. Each intensive one-on-one program includes lessons and three meals a day.
But, you can also pick different classes to attend:
With the addition of extra classes, the tuition will increase slightly.
When you study Mandarin in China at a university, you only get the classes. But at Keats School we want your money to go further, that’s why we offer several free services for our students.
Our free services include:
Keats believes that you should experience more than a classroom where you learn Mandarin while studying in China. Keats School is your second home, and we want you to feel that.
Offering private bedrooms, free laundry, and the ability to connect to the internet allows you to feel comfortable while away from friends and family.
We know that healthy exercise and food are important while studying Chinese in China.
When you sign up for our intensive one-on-one class, you will access our state-of-the-art fitness center. This center is available any hour of the day to get your sweat on.
Studies show that the use of exercise increases the function of the memory sections of the brain. Regular exercise changes the brain to improve memory and thinking skills. This is a huge reason to check out the Keats Fitness Centre while learning Chinese.
In addition to exercise, eating healthy foods is just as important. Like we mentioned above, we offer three meals a day for Keats Students from Monday to Friday. Keats Cafeteria uses healthy vegetables that are directly bought from farmers. We never use frozen meat. Instead, all meat is fresh.
The huge difference between Keats’ cafeteria and other restaurants is all the ingredients we use to cook are good for your health.
We provide fresh vegetables, fruits, fried eggs, cakes, fried rice, meat, yogurt, milk, coffee, cereal, and Yunnan rice noodles for breakfast.
For lunch, we provide about 10 delicious Chinese dishes with dumplings and rice.
For dinner, we provide about 10 delicious Chinese dishes with fruits and rice.
At Keats School, you will be more than a student. You will become part of the international Keats family with family members across the whole globe.
More than 40% of our students return for more Mandarin lessons, and we know it’s because of our quality teaching and students getting more for their money.

I can’t tell you how much I liked it. The thing I liked about the teachers and the teaching method is that there is so much flexibility. The other thing I liked about the teaching is the combination of classic textbook learning and going outside. I loved it! I like getting to know other students. Everybody shared the same goal and that’s making their Chinese better. Kunming is a big city, but it is very safe to live here. Another thing I liked about Keats is the idea that people here help you. I can’t recommend it enough. I think it was a valuable experience. Looking forward to coming back!
My name is Sarah Fish. I am 81. I knew very little Chinese when I arrived. How was I going to survive 2 weeks of intensive Chinese course? I have to laugh when I think of that now. What a positive experience this has been! I really wish we could be here a little longer. The teachers are extremely encouraging, evaluating first how much someone knows, and then starting from there.
It is very convenient to come to Kunming from Thailand. I really like my Chinese class and my Chinese improved a lot in a few months. There are many benefits of learning Chinese. The best thing I like about Keats is that it is in Kunming, a city with eternal spring. There is so much to see in Kunming and you will love this city after you come.
I found Keats School and I am so glad that I did. When you learn Chinese in China at Keats, you are fully being taken care of. My teacher is really great and we become lovely friends.
The best part of the school is the patience the instructors had and the time to focus on the fundamentals like pronunciation. I think it is very easy to skip over those and go to vocabulary. But by learning the pronunciation, I feel like it helped me gain a better understanding of the language.
I’ve had a really great time here. I’ve studied a lot with my teacher who was fantastic. Keats School tried very hard to match its students with really good teachers that their personality works very well together. I really enjoy studying Chinese at Keats and I will definitely come back.
I’ve had an amazing time at Keats. I am amazed at how much I’ve learned over the last 3 weeks and I will be really sad to go. We are already planning on our next trip of coming back because we had such a fantastic time here. They really tailor the Chinese language course to you and your individual needs.
I think Keats is one of the best language schools I have ever been to. My teacher is such an amazing person. She is so good at teaching. She makes classes fun. I have learned a lot of vocabulary during my time here. I would really recommend coming to learn Mandarin Chinese at Keats School.
