Achieve Real Vietnamese Fluency in Just 2 Months – with a Native Speaker (5+ Years Experience, Proven Results, Tailored for You)
Speak Vietnamese Fluently in Just 2 Months! Hi! I'm Thương, a Vietnamese teacher from Hanoi – the heart of Vietnam's culture. I'm a patient, cheerful, friendly tutor who is passionate about helping international learners speak Vietnamese naturally and confidently. In my lessons, I use real-life stories and everyday conversations to help you not only improve your Vietnamese, but also understand the culture behind the language. Whether you're focusing on grammar or communication, I will always tailor the lessons to what you need most — so that you can see fast and meaningful progress. Whether you are: ✅ A complete beginner starting your Vietnamese journey ✅ Planning a trip to Vietnam and want to speak like a local ✅ Working or doing business in Vietnam and seeking deeper connections ✅ Moving to Vietnam to live with your loved ones ✅ Or simply fascinated by the Vietnamese language and culture — I have a personalized roadmap just for you. I’ve worked with students from Japan, South Korea, the U.S., Germany, China, and more – helping them not only master the Vietnamese language but also deeply understand the culture and people of Vietnam. I teach in the Northern Vietnamese accent (Hanoi dialect). I also speak English (TOEIC 800+) and Japanese (JLPT N2), which allows me to explain difficult concepts in an easy and understandable way. Outside of teaching, I love traveling, exploring, and taking international friends to discover local food, cultural sites, and hidden gems around Hanoi. I hold a professional certificate in Teaching Vietnamese as a Foreign Language. With over 5 years of experience, I have taught students of all levels – from absolute beginners to advanced learners aiming to use Vietnamese for work and daily life. What I offer: Vietnamese for everyday communication Vietnamese for travelers Vietnamese for work and business Correct pronunciation with the Northern accent Vietnamese culture, customs, and norms Focused skills practice: speaking, listening, reading, writing I also hold an International Tour Guide License, so if you're planning to visit Vietnam, I can guide you on amazing journeys across the country – from North to South. And when you’re in Hanoi, we can even study together offline at some chill cafés or beautiful cultural spots in the city – learning in the most fun and authentic way possible! Do you find Vietnamese tones hard to remember? Is the grammar too flexible and confusing? Maybe you’ve studied for a while, but still can’t speak naturally? Or you feel like Vietnamese is dry and difficult to enjoy? You might have thought: “Why is Vietnamese so hard...?” You’ve been there, right? 👉 I totally understand – many of my students have felt the same way at first. But don’t worry! With the right approach, Vietnamese can actually be fun, clear, and full of life. 🌱I’ll help you learn with simple, practical, and interactive lessons that match your pace and interests. Whether you want to speak confidently while traveling, understand your Vietnamese partner better, or simply explore this beautiful language and culture — I’m here to guide you. Together, we’ll turn confusion into clarity, and fear into confidence. 💪 Let’s make Vietnamese learning an enjoyable journey you’ll love! 👉 Don’t wait any longer – apply now and let’s start your Vietnamese journey together!

Human medicine materials, biology +. Biochemistry + biostatistics and others for university students, as well as the English language for all levels and the Japanese language.
In language learning lessons, it is determined according to the student’s level and desire. You can start from the first level for beginners. In Japanese language lessons, the book we learn from is Minna no Nihongo, which is considered a very rich book and suitable for learners of the Japanese language from scratch, and it provides a rich experience in grammar, words, and kanji that is appropriate for this stage.
