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)!

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

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 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!

Zack is fantastic! He does an excellent job providing structured grammar lessons, teaching a wide variety of useful vocabulary, and providing exercises for you to practice your knowledge. Zack also has a very astute ear and is great at correcting pronunciation errors, which I've found particularly useful while learning a tonal language. I can't recommend him enough!
