I’m Tommy - your Sticker Teacher
Back in 1995, my parents threw me the first and only birthday party in the family.
I’ve never had another party since then. Maybe that’s because I realized — my job isn’t to blow candles… but blow your mind with Vietnamese.
With a background in Teaching and Translation from Vietnam and a Tourism course in Canada, this is my flair—so you’re in good hands!
Born in Vietnam, based in Canada, I bridge cultures through language. With 10+ years teaching, I specialize in Southern Vietnamese—helping you speak naturally, from slang to street-smart phrases.

Tommy was great at breaking down sentence structures and helping me to put my vocabulary into real world conversations. I look forward to our next lesson!

You can always rely on Tommy as he is always professional. I am happy that I have found him as a teacher for conversational classes. He explains things very well and has lots of patience. And a smile always goes a long way. Cảm ơn em nhiều nha!

Another great lesson with Tommy, easing into the lesson with a review of material covered last time, patient correction of my forgetfulness and struggling pronunciation, lots of encouragement, flexibility to let me try making some off-topic sentences, and a nice quiz and recap at the end. Looking forward to the next lesson!
