Niki Lam

Lessons with Niki are fantastic. I've had many lessons with Niki now, and she has always put a lot of thought into her lessons and provided detailed slide decks with useful vocabulary, and many helpful examples, which she shares at the end of each class. She's very supportive in answering any spontaneous questions I have about Hokkien and provides detailed answers. She was open to trying out alternative formats such as scenarios/role play (e.g. asking for directions, or help if your car has broken down, etc.) Finally, she also makes lessons incredibly fun and engaging, giving opportunities to chat and discuss life in general in Hokkien, and offers a lot of encouragement even if you are struggling to find the right words. Would recommend anyone interested in learning Hokkien / Southern Min to try out lessons with Niki! :)

Niki is a great teacher who is willing to teach and loves teaching students. Usually our classes go over time because of her enthusiasm which is really great :) I highly recommend her to those who are learning Hokkien or Chinese (Putonghua)

She introduced me to ancient phrases, new grammar rules and new words. She also gave me examples and further explanations whenever I wanted to dig deeper.

Thank you for the lesson ! I enjoyed it very much as always. :-)
