Vivian

I took Vivian's Cantonese class as a beginner. I was nervous to try a language with so many well known obstacles, but she helped me to navigate through the minefield that is Cantonese. She is very supportive, has many excellent resources, and presents the material in a well-organized and professional manner. I highly recommend her for your studies!

Ms. Vivian altered the lesson to suit my needs. She has a clear voice and it was a nice lesson! Also her English is good. ヴィヴィアン先生のレッスンはとてもよかったです。英語で説明ができるし、中国人と練習できるのはありがたい！

I've been working with Vivian for several years now. Today, we worked on helping with tones -- my tones are getting better and better! I highly recommend her as a teacher.

Vivian did a great job giving a short introduction to tones and Taoism specific terms for my 11th grade IB World Religion students. She was extremely prepared, with note cards and a power point presentation. She was both clear and positive in her interactions with the class. My students LOVED the experience and we are all very grateful to have had the opportunity to work with her!

My 8 year old daughter just started taking lessons on a regular basis with Vivian. Not only does she seem to enjoy the lessons with Vivian, I can already hear the improvement. Vivian is very easy going and encouraging. I'm very glad we found her on italki.

Today's lesson was excellent. We covered numbers, days and dates. Vivian opened the lesson with pronunciation practice to become more comfortable with tones. She then introduced numbers and days, gradually increasing the challenge to do basic math and look up dates on the calendar. We completed extension question exercises at the end. I am pleased with how Vivian was able to adapt to my pace and always kept the work a level ahead to encourage me to apply my new vocabulary immediately. I feel like I have learned a month of Cantonese in only a week.
