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 a great teacher and extremely knowledgeable in Cantonese. He takes the time to explain and is patient and calm with his students. You can tell he puts a lot of thought into his lessons with ways of learning and vocabulary being varied and useful. Highly recommend.

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 very attentive and took the time to explain concepts in detail. He also provided visuals and audio guides to complement our lesson which really helped me understand the material. Thanks Zack, looking forward to our next lesson!

I've been learning with Zack for three years now. He is by far the best teacher I've had on italki (and I've had several!) He is great with English speakers. Patient, kind, funny, and so so smart. He makes learning a language fun. I look forward to our lesson every week. Zach is an awesome, awesome teacher!
