Review by Jay
"I am 3 months into my Vietnamese training with Mr. Chau. Hands down, if you want to learn Vietnamese, you want Mr. Chau as your instructor. I have develop
ed a solid foundation to the Vietnamese tones, grammar and language structure, as he consistently able to tailor his over 30 years of teaching experience specifically to my learning ability and pace. Mr. Chau challenges me in all aspects of speaking, listening, and reading Vietnamese, on top of teaching me Vietnamese culture. He is a professional; a teacher who inspires his students to do well. 5 stars, easily."

Review by Ruehanee
"Prajakta is absolutely the best! I am so glad I chose her to be my teacher. I had a very short amount of time to achieve an Intermediate Mid rating on the
ACTFL test and with Prajakta's help I was able to achieve it. She went above and beyond to help me, and she passed on as much knowledge as she could. She developed a custom curriculum and would send me stories and worksheets to increase my vocabulary and improve my grammar. I would highly recommend choosing her as your Hindi teacher."

Bonjour! My name is Elo, and I want you to learn French from a native French speaker! I love cooking and listening to music, being with friends and watching movies.
It’s always a rewarding experience meeting new students and learning about their customs. I am very fun and open to help my future students to speak when they have difficulties with the pronunciation. When I teach, I give all my best to make sure my students understand the material and improve themselves during the lessons. I speak clearly in ways that make the lesson clear. My goal is that everyone experience success. It includes me also, I succeed when my students do :).
Shall we meet?
