One of the best young teacher in ESL Dept. Someone said, he's "TMI". My question to that student is why? We supposed to learn or teach? I'm still in his class and I enjoy eveymoment of it. I learned alot about how to write essay, summary, Gramma, and general knowledge. We never behide the lessons. IF YOU REALLY WANT TO LEAN, TAKE HIS CLASS. Thanks

He is very undestandable,always willing to help, very passionate about what he is doing!! being(or just looking) so young and being so helpful-it's an amazing combination!!! Take him for sure, his 8-week classes are the best ones!!! I wish he teached ENG1,,,,,
BEST TEACHER IN ESL DEPT!
HE ROCKS! he really cares about his students and gives an easy grammar quiz. But you have to study a little bit and prepare for the essays Keith is the best ESL teacher !!!!!!!!!!!
One of the best instructor in E.S.L. Excellent note and clear instruction. Fair grading. Listing to him and study, you be O.K. If you want to learn, take his class. I believe S.M.C. need more instructor like him. THANKS Keith.
he is so sexyyyyyyyy!!! i love him, he is such as yor friend , but after the semmester he will forget you:(!!
he's very eligible for teaching foreign students in the easiest way
Very good ..very friendly.highly recommended.
He is a best ESL teacher~~!
He's an exellent teacher! He's so passion and responsibility....and he knows about what he teaches ESL students! It doesn't matter the grade.. just try it!
This is a great teacher if you would have an easy class not much homework, just a few essays to write. He is always helpful and he seems to love his work. But if you want to learn something new this is not a class for you, I learned a lot more with another teacher in ESL 21A then I have done in this class.
i love him. he is the best Esl instucture.his lecture is very clear so i learned a lot of things from him. he is gentle, nice, and handsome. i highly recommend his class.
He is very great teacher. going to class is easy becaus he is sooooooo HOT! I enjoy my class very mush. Great teacher!
He is such an awesome teacher. He was my first teacher at SMC...i wish all of them are like him. He really helps to understand writing process and encourages to improve your writing skills, even though it is not as easy as it seems to be. He is nice, gentle, smart and just a GREAT teacher. I highly recommend his class. Trust me...you won't regret.
Follow his instruction then you will get A or B. He is very smart and fair. Focus on Essay and Rewrite. You must take this class if you want to improve your english skills.
He is the best teacher that i hv met in SMC. U will hv a lot of interesting in his class. Most important thing- easy grade! u just need to finish homework on time and has good attendance, then at least "B" will show on ur final grade. i learned so much to write essay in his 21A, it's very helpful to pass 21B and Eng 1.strongly recommend!!!
highly recommend for all ESL students. He graduaded conell university for biology major and university of florida for education. His accent is excellant and teaches very clear. he is liberal but he is also very fair for all students. you will improve your english skill if you take him. Good Luck.
He is the best teacher at SMC. you should take his class if you can.
He is one of the best !
He is very nice and helpful. He gives generous grades, but he's not gonna give you an easy A on the Final.
he is a nice man and sometimes he is too nice! he would love to help you with every problems you have. however, he is not an easy grade teacher. just do the extra credit he gave and you will get a high extra credit which is really helpful.
don't think just add the class if you have chance best teacher ever very helpful he use best skills
Very systematic teaching style. He helps us a lot. He helps us to be familiar with USA college education. You will get cultural and regional knowledge from him. He is a teacher who uses technology a lot: such as internet and email. You can feel free to email him if you have educational problems. Must have teacher for ESL students.
He's a Great tutor undoubtedly.He went through every little detail on different specific aspect and explained to us crystal clear by his interesting teaching method. His lecture really enhances what you have learnt. He's a responsible,patient and helpful tutor. I'm not used to give a compliment like this but he really deserves it. Take his class!!
Excellent professor. It was amazing to see how he involves in teaching online classes. He responds individualy to each thread discussions....amazing. Very helpful and fast respond to questions.
I took his summer section grammar class. It's so great. He is very helpful and nice. I had a wonderful time in his class while learning a lot. He made everything so crystal. Highly recommend!
HE IS GREAT!!!
He's the best teacher. Im very grateful to him because I learned a lot. Im very surprised because whenever I need help or I had some doubt the kindly answered all questions. Keith loves teaching that is definitely one of his passions! If u really want to learn English I recommend that u should take some lessons with Keith. excelent teacher
I decided to take his class thanks to the reviews in here and I am not regret. Hes is great,. very knowledgeable, Very helpful. he makes the 3 hours class very fun, he has a very good sense of humor. You learn a lot with him. He is fair. All you want in a teacher!
He is an excellent teacher. He enjoys teaching. he is very helpful.He marks every little mistake in your essay and help you find them and give you a chance to correct them. I learned a lot from him.
he is really nice and kind and he is a perfect teacher. i always had problem with teachers. but he is super nice and he teaches perfect. i learned alot in his class. he studies with all of his heart. he is one of professors who loves his job. the semester was so fun. we all had enrgy at class
he is the worst ESL teacher ever. he is not helpful if u dont talk him a lot.
Excellent teacher. He is really helpful! It is not a easy A but it is easy to get an B in class. His lecture are interesting. He will give you lots of information before every essays. He cares about grammar, so be prepared! TAKE HIM IF YOU CAN!
He was the best professor that I had.You will study a lots in his class,but you have to work hard.It's not an easy A class, B is really possible. If you are looking for an A in his class, you will show your diligent works.
He is a nice and helpful teacher, and I really enjoy his class. However, if you do not know enough vocabulary and have alot of grammar mistakes, then you will probably realize that it is not easy to get an "A". In fact, I got "C+", but I learned alot in his class about how to write an essay.
I took the online class. It was so good. We had like 2 weeks to write the responds and did our homework. You would have 2-3 assignments per week. One of them is discussion that you have to do 3 days before the end of the unit, and the other part are, most of the time, main ideas, what the author thought when he said... It is the easiest class ever
Nice teacher,he always help his student.
He is extremely helpful, he loves teaching, he always trys his best to help students to succeed. Although his class is quite difficult, you can really learn something after you finish his class. Keith is your best choice. For your future and success, try him once!
Professor Keith is the best professor in Esl department at Santa Monica College, so you guys will miss a lot if you did not take his class.
Best english prof ever
Best ESL teacher ever! Loves to help, always there for his students, really cares about his students doing well. You do have to study the material he gives you, sometimes it is a lot but it is for your own good! Take him if you want to learn and have a nice professor.
Great great great professor ever, he s always willing to help students. He is an excellent coach. you will love the way he teach!!
Form this year he is become more strict! and also he don't grade the classes essay some other professors grade! as you know he is so nice and helpful! However, in this semester 70% of my class not passing(
You should find a better teacher that can available to understand the conversations between you and him...
He is the best teacher ever. I took Esl 11A & Esl21A with him. I learned a lot from his both classes. My English level has changed from beginning to advanced. I would definitely recommend him for anyone who wants to improve their English. He is so generous,polite,professional and kind. I wish he had more classes to teach. I would take all of them.
harsh grader
keith is super nice but i respect him alot .but he is a tough grader
He's definitely one of the best professors at SMC. I took his ESL11A in summer 2015 & that was actually my very first class at SMC. He's a very nice and funny person. I like him & respect him :) Do HW, ask questions if you don't understand, and work hard of course! You're learning!! Take his class. You will learn a lot from him for sure!!!!!!
Love him !!! Nice,helpful,funny. He know how to teaching and his class not boring at all. He really care about every students,but he is strict and tough grader. He is hardworking man and grade our homework,paper,and test very quickly and strict!!! He is really nice and give extra credit but it not working due to he grade really really really strict
He is very helpful and clear. Best professor I've ever had. Highly recommend. If you want to learn and enjoy the class definitely take his class.
He is the best professor I've ever had in my entire life!!!! He is very very very organized and gives great feedback.
He is best professor on Esl department!! very organized and clear! his teaching style really helpful and he care about every students! he can teaching !!! his class not boring at all. I will take his class again EVEN I KNOW HE IS TOUGH GRADER.
He is the best!
He know how to teach and every students will learn more than lecture in his class. He is best professor in Esl department for sure. However, his grading style is not as well as his personality. He grading our paper and test very fast which is wonderful, but he is a tough grader, if you want take his class you should be careful about your grades.
Lots of homework, but give a lot good feedback. Go to his classes and participate , and you will pass the class. I chose pass or no pass, and I passed.
I've earned so much from him and he gets hold of you ASAP which was good for myself, If I put more effort into quizzes, I would of got an A in this class which I regret.. but the way he taught us in the class (online) has made me more confident with my reading skills! I would recommend to take this class! You will get good marks if you try hard.
professor Keith is an amazing person, he helped me a lot.
he is a tough grader, he learns good, but he is not good in grade
There is a lot of work to do in class in order to earn your grade in class. However, this teacher is amazing!
He is amazing,and he helped me alot.
He is a good professor, always prepare well before class, and being organized all the time. He knows his students well and help us to know/find our weakness in english in order to improve it better. All homework seem hard, but if you serious to learn, those can improve your english. Don't hesitate to take him, you will not regret it
If he doesn't like you for any reason you will be fail or drop If you wanna take his class just ask the students who took his class before
just the best
IF YOU DESIRE SUCCESS TAKE HIM
PROFESSOR GRAZIADEI I APPRECIATE THAT I KNEW YOU. YOU ARE THE BEST.
PROFESSOR GRAZIADEI IS AWESOME TAKE HIM YOU WILL BE LUCKY
He is my favorite professor. He has high knowledge and really helpful. But his class is tough and if you want to get a good grade, you should study hard.
the perfect professor
He's an amazing teacher. I studied with him 2 classes. He really teaches students. Thanks to the knowledge obtained at 11B it was very easy to learn English at 21A.
Professor Keith is one of the best professors at SMC. His lectures are very detailed and easy to understand. He will tell you how to succeed in his class step by step. If you pay attention to what he explains in lectures, you will pass the class with an excellent grade. Keith is caring and passionate about what he does. BEST PROFESSOR EVER!
I strongly recommend his class to improve your English. If you want to play around but not study, then you don't want to take this class. I feel my English is improving since taking his class. It is true that Professor Keith is a tough grader, but it's worth to take his class. You should know that 21B and ENGL1 are much harder. BE PREPARE!
AAAAAA DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASSS DAMNNNN!!!!
He is not a good teacher, and he likes to take out of Chinese students point for nothing reason. So Chinese students do NOT take this class!!!!!!
He is a professor with racial discrimination. If he does not like you , you are not going to pass, you are just going to get a D. Although your english is very good, other people whose english is not as good as yours will score higher than you. Don't take his class if ur a chinese. He is the worst professor i have seen since i came to America.
Never take this professor again if your smart person.
NEVER take this professor.
Professor Keith is the best English professor you can have, his lectures are very detailed and really care about the students. Very accessible outside class and always willing to help. I wish could take 21B with him. HIS A GEM! He does not give special treatment to anyone, everyone is treated the same! So study! And turn in homework on time!
BEST ENGLISH PROFESSOR IVE EVER HAD! Hands down!
I will never take this professor again because he even care about student late to go to classroom time even you late 1 mins. He still will make you late.
This teacher takes points
He is so strict, strange, and arrogant.
It is a strict teacher, and students so hard to get a grade.
He likes to judge people when i take his class because sometimes he looked at some students it makes people feels like different.
he is a hard teacher because he did not enough good example in the class. Students need to learn the knowledge by themselves, so it's not easy to get a good grade in his class.
he is the best professors ever in smc. i took 11a and 21a with him, and i really learn a lot. even sometime he is really strict about something, but he really care about students and helping students to understand everything. he is very kind and very nice! take his class, u will have big improve for your english.
Tough grader, not easy get good grade.
Best teacher ever.
You can not believe how bad he is
I took Esl 11A with him, and I got 71/100. However, in Esl 11B with other professor I got 92/100.
He lets me retake the class, my grade was 68% in his class, but i was retake the class was 80%. So how bad he is takes grade !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He absolutely knows what he is doing,how to teach a student the subject,and how to treat a student by the student's situation. He may be one of the best ESL professort at SMC.
He is one of the best professor that he teaches the students because he cares about them
If your writing paragraph, essay, and summary writing are not well and you are having difficult with writing. I prefer you come to another branch of Santa Monica College is Bundy Campus and that non-credit ESL and practice writing classes from beginning through advance. When your writing getting better then take ESL credit at main campus.
I took his class a few semesters back. He wasn't helpful at all. He tries to look cute but makes too high demands on his students. He couldn't clearly explain why he took away points. Don't recommend his class.
Very Tough Grader. Unless you show your passion for this class, you will get C or D if you are challenging in your English. However, my English skill is indeed improved by him, so I can't say him as a horrible man.
Professor Keith is the best ESL professor you can ask for. He actually cares about his students. He's always available for whatever trouble you're going through. I strongly recommend taking his classes. He makes you feel special and able to show your best during tests quizzes or homework. Take him, you won't regret it. Thank me later.
Check the "like" and "bad", or check for the all comments. You will see the truth.
discriminator... he tries to show himself cute, but his not, so do not believe his deceptive laugh
One of the best ESL Teachers. Keith will take on his own time to explain and answer any questions you may have. He will never talk down on you or make you feel stupid. Lots of group work during class. Homework quantity and difficulty are pretty normal. Overall very good class pretty dynamic and no one dropped during the semester. Thank you Keith
The best professor I ever had, he is very nice and helpful in everything, thank you
if you're serious about learning he's the one!Professor Keith is so helpful, patient.if there is a need he even call the departments to contact you for different areas of your needs like counseling office,tutoring/disability center.He's professional and freindly. He stays after class to answer all questions. I'm so grateful to be in his class.
Keith is the best teacher I ever had at SMC. If you want to learn English, take his class. I was so sad when the class was over because he was like a friend that cared about each student. His quizzes are not difficult if you study. Essays are not difficult too, but you have to read and understand very well how to write them properly. Thanks Keith!
Great professor, always passionate and exciting. He will help you when you do in-class essay assignments. But what he says always makes me sleepy. He's glad to answer all your questions and help you not only with study stuff.
The best ESL teacher I have ever met. He has a powerful structure for the course and gives the knowledge step by step to help students memorize the rules.
I think he is the best ESL professor in SMC. He is very kind and often incorporates games into our lessons, making learning much more fun. He explains things very clearly and has a great way of organizing his lessons. Additionally, he offers extra credit, which really helps us improve. I am very grateful for everything he does for us.
Best teacher I could ever ask for! His lessons are always engaging and interactive, making learning English both fun and effective. Plus, he is generous with grades and truly cares about his students' success. I highly recommend enrolling with Professor Keith!
why not take this his course? he is the best esl professor i have ever had. unfortunately, he teaches only 11a. he's so nice, and his explanations are very clear. he's good at organizing his courses. he grades assignments fast, so you won't have to wait too long. he also provides extra credit, which really benefits our studies.
