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! :)

Chris is a great teacher with a proper attitude. You will always look forward to another lesson, and he cares about your progress. I especially like the visual style of teaching correct mouth shape and his tips and recordings, which help you spell words properly. Overall, clear recommendation - you will be even more excited to learn Vietnamese.

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!

Great as always!

Chris does a great job balancing learning with fun and creativity. He challenges me to think creatively with Vietnamese and helping me to understand the structure and logic behind the language rather than just memorizing everything. We do a mixture of reading, writing, vocabulary, and speaking. BEST TEACHER EVER!
