Chi

Chi is hands down the best teacher I’ve ever had. She comes prepared with exercises and homework, and she’s always willing to go the extra mile to ensure you get the practice you need. Even when you’re feeling discouraged, she’s there to motivate you. Chi doesn’t just teach the language—she also shares insights into Vietnamese culture and explains the origins of certain words. Her lessons are always engaging and interactive, and I notice improvement every time. I’m incredibly grateful to have Chi as my teacher, she truly is the best.

Today's lesson was super fun. We talked about personality types such as introverts and extroverts, party animals and homebodies, etc. Chi always encourages me to build my vocabulary by trying new discussion topics like this. She also patiently corrects my many pronunciation errors. Thank you Chi.

I have been meaning to write a review for Chi for a while now! I have been studying with her for two months and really enjoy my lessons with her. She is great at coming up with topics/questions to keep our conversations going and teaching me the meaning of new words in Vietnamese so I am able to practice my listening while also learning new things. Although I was really nervous for our first few lessons, Chi was always very encouraging and supportive and could tell when I needed some help or I could figure out what I wanted to say on my own. I have become a lot more comfortable and confident in my conversational skills since beginning lessons with Chi, and I'm excited to learn a lot more in the future!

Today's lesson was super useful. We practiced verbs like "to hold", "to carry", "to drop", "to throw", "to lift", "to take", "to pull", "to release". When I use a dictionary for words like these, I never get the meaning right. So today was wonderful because I could ask Chi to explain the precise meaning of each Vietnamese word. No dictionary could have done this for me. Thank you Chi for your help today.

Chi helped me with challenging words about family situations. She taught me the difference between these words so I could use them correctly in common conversations. Thank you Chi for your help!

Chi always has such a relaxing, kind, and soft personality to be around. It makes talking in Vietnamese a lot easier because you don’t feel so much pressure and anxiousness. She is consistently like that so she makes a good tutor for the long-term. Also, as always she is encouraging and asks questions to get me to speak as much as I can.
