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.

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!

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! :)

I'm first gen ABV (American born Vietnamese) and I've recently started working with Chris to learn the language again. I really appreciate him as a tutor because he matches the pace of learning that you're at. He is patient and really pushes you to pronounce things correctly to ensure that you're not creating bad habits. I appreciate his patience and being able to point out where you're exceling and where you're struggling. He is incredibly responsive if you need to contact him too! I'm really excited to partner and work with Chris as I re-learn to speak Vietnamese, but now read AND write too!

Chris is so positive and helpful. I can tell he really loves his language and people and is passionate about sharing it with others. I always leave the class wishing it were longer and excited to study.

Chris is an awesome teacher! He is very detail oriented and is very patient. He explains concepts clearly and throughly and really cares about your success.
