I was born in Hong Kong, and have lived in Canada for most of my adult life. I recently finished a long successful career, and would like to do something that I'm passionate about. Language learning and teaching is something that I can never get tired of. English is probably my strongest language in terms of writing, reading and speaking. However, I can also converse confidently in Mandarin with little to no accent as evident in my video. Cantonese is my native tongue; although I don't use it nearly as often as my English, I have no problem switching back and forth between the two languages when I need to.

Really enjoyable lessons! Zack is always well prepared and his lessons are relaxed yet well structured, with a sound grounding in grammar and pronunciation. I really like the pace of progress and review, in our lessons.

It’s rare to find a native speaker so attuned to (and interested in) the intricacies of their own language. I feel like I can come to Zack with any question (whether it’s about proper usage of a new word or grammatical constructions that my brain has a hard time processing) and his responses are always clear, thoughtful, engaging, enlightening, and motivating. If needed, he will take the time outside of class to properly address any questions I have. He pushes himself to fully understand any linguistic phenomena I express interest in so that he can teach them to me as clearly as possible. He is one of the most talented, dedicated teachers I have ever had both in and outside of language learning—and he is certainly one of the kindest. I also really appreciate his infectious sense of humor. I really can’t recommend Zack highly enough. I'm looking forward to our next lesson (as always)!

Working with Zack is great -- he is very precise in correcting pronunciation and gives very detailed explanations for this sometimes confusing language. He writes everything down so you can review it later and his assignments reinforce the concepts discussed during the lesson. Highly recommended!

6回目の授業でした。これほど知らない言語を続けて行けたのは、先生の忍耐力と優しさだと思います。
