Chris Vietnamese

I've been learning with Chris for 2 years & just had my last session with him before I go to Vietnam. I'm now confident I'm going to do fine. Chris did a great job keeping me motivated, keeping me accountable & helped by explaining things clearly. He kept things fun & caring as a teacher with such a human & friendly approach. And he's always willing to try new things & think outside-of-the-box so things never get boring & he has a good sense of humour. I'm a lazy learner, I'll admit that, but I've probably hit around B1/B2 with him (untested). He's given great travel advice & support too, with ideas & suggestions for the kinds of things I like. And we have great conversations both in English & Vietnamese. With Chris, you don't just gain a tutor, but a friend who'll do his best to help you every step of the way.

Always enjoy my Vietnamese lessons with Chris (Em Nguyên). I like that Chris is very flexible with lesson format and that he is always pushing me to use more and more Vietnamese in our lessons. In addition to being a great teacher, he is also a kind and empathetic human being and a nice friend. Cảm ơn em rất nhiều! :)

This was the first lesson, and we mostly talked about goals and needs, which was perfectly fine for me. Chris is very friendly, curious in the best way, funny, and makes the lesson feel like a pleasant conversation with a friend over a beer and chips. He’s the most personable teacher I’ve met so far. At the same time, he’s very organized and comes prepared with a clear plan.

Chris is a great teacher! My Vietnamese has significantly improved since I started learning with him. He is knowledgeable and does research when he's not sure about the answers to my questions. He is dedicated and it's clear that he loves to teach. Thanks a lot Chris!

Chris is an excellent teacher! He is the perfect blend of structured and fun. He is highly structured, with set curriculum and materials to reference. I feel a clear sense of progression when working with him. Our lessons are also so fun! We're laughing all the way through as we go through topics and exercises. I feel myself progressing, but also having so much fun. If you're looking for a Vietnamese teacher, look no further!

Chris did a great job teaching me the sounds of the letters in Vietnam and helping to explain how they are different and then practicing them with me until I felt comfortable. It was a good lesson and I am excited to learn more.
