    About Me

    Xin chào! I’m a passionate and experienced Vietnamese language tutor with over 10 years of teaching experience. I specialize in helping students master Vietnamese through engaging, personalized lessons that focus on real-life communication. My goal is to make learning Vietnamese enjoyable, effective, and tailored to your needs—whether you’re a beginner or looking to refine your skills.

    My Teaching Approach
    I believe that language learning should be fun, interactive, and practical. My lessons focus on:
    ✔ Pronunciation & Tones Mastery – The key to speaking Vietnamese clearly and naturally.
    ✔ Practical Conversations – Learn to confidently communicate in everyday situations.
    ✔ Cultural Insights – Understanding Vietnamese customs, etiquette, and traditions.
    ✔ Personalized Learning Plans – Tailored lessons based on your level, goals, and interests.

    I teach students from all backgrounds—whether you’re traveling to Vietnam, working with Vietnamese partners, or simply passionate about the language and culture. I create a comfortable and supportive learning environment where you can gain confidence from the very first lesson.

    Let’s embark on this exciting language journey together! 😊

    Education

    Bachelor’s Degree in Thuong Mai university
    Toeic 800
    JLPT N2.
    HSK 4.
    🗣️ Multilingual Proficiency – Fluent in Vietnamese (native), English, Japanese, and Chinese, allowing me to support students from diverse backgrounds.

    Experience / Qualifications

    ✔ 10+ Years of Teaching Experience – I have been teaching Vietnamese to international students both online and at language centers in Vietnam.

    ✔ Curriculum Development – I have contributed to designing Vietnamese language courses for language centers, ensuring structured and effective learning.

    ✔ Multilingual Background – As a native Vietnamese speaker fluent in English, Japanese, and Chinese, I understand the challenges of learning a new language and can provide clear explanations in multiple languages.
    My Vietnamese classes are designed for daily communication, business & work, and travelers. Whether you want to navigate daily life, build professional relationships, or explore Vietnam with confidence, my lessons provide practical vocabulary, real-life conversations, and cultural insights to help you speak naturally and effectively. Each session is interactive, engaging, and tailored to your needs. Let's start learning together!
    Speak Vietnamese Fluently in Just 2 Months! I am passionate about helping learners not only master Vietnamese but also gain a deeper understanding of Vietnamese culture. I will guide you to pronounce naturally like a native speaker and communicate confidently in any situation. ‍The biggest challenge for Vietnamese learners is pronunciation and addressing people correctly. With six tones and a complex system of pronouns that change based on formality, age, gender, and family relationships, it can feel overwhelming. But don’t worry! I’ll guide you through it and help you gain confidence from the very first lesson! Whether you're a student, a professional, living with Vietnamese people, or have Vietnamese friends or colleagues, I’m here to support you. I always tailor my teaching approach to keep you motivated, engaged, and increasingly confident in using Vietnamese. With just 2 months of learning with me, you'll be able to communicate confidently!

My motto is always to find a way to motivate my students and make them progress according to their needs and goals.

After understanding each learner's level, interest and goal, I will offer a main textbook and overview of the course plan. I will be using balanced approach that will improve listening, speaking, reading, and writing through proven textbooks, exercises and weigh on the practical conversations. For JLPT preparation, I will offer lessons with the text suitable for the target level across required skills. I can teach in Japanese or English fluently and in French to a limited extent. I offer my lessons online, face to face at my place or near my place. All my students are repeated students who enjoy engaging and interactive atmosphere. I hope to see you soon in my lesson!
