Zack

My kids improve their Cantonese a lot with Zack.

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)!

Zack is an amazing teacher! I love his curriculum, it’s very well-structured and he’s always very well prepared :) I feel like I’m learning a lot quickly and I think that’s a testament to Zack’s teaching style! He is very patient and is always so ecstatic to teach. And I get so excited to learn! It makes for a wonderful learning environment. I love talking about the similarities of Cantonese with Viet/Mandarin, it’s so fun! Grateful to have found him and excited to continue learning with him!

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.

Zack was a great help in deciding whether to learn Cantonese or Mandarin first. He was patient with me and very clear in his instructions. I enjoyed the class and will continue learning under him.

amazing teacher. patient, creative, and lessons are very engaging and fun
