Me as a Teacher
As a teacher, I focus on helping students understand Vietnamese in a natural and practical way. I will create an comfortable class environment where you feel confident to speak without the fear of making mistakes.
I personalize each lesson based on your goals and learning style, with a strong focus on pronunciation, conversation, and real-life usage. I also share my own Southern Vietnamese materials for in-class and at-home practice.
My goal is to help you not only understand Vietnamese, but also feel comfortable using it in real-life situations, and also understand the culture and life styles here.
My lessons & teaching style
I focus mainly on pronunciation and real-life spoken Vietnamese, with speaking and listening as the top priority.
I'd like to bring enthusiasm and fun to each class and carefully listen to the needs of each student to design lessons that best fit for you.
I will help you build your confidence in speaking Vietnamese and also understand the language so you can use it in different situations.
For beginner learners, I will help you build a solid foundation step by step.
For advanced learners, I use engaging topics and new vocabulary to keep improving fluency. I also support all four skills (speaking, listening, reading, and writing) with lessons tailored to your goals.

My daughter loves Chi so much and asks all the time when her next lesson is. She's enjoying the class very much for a 6 year old.

Today teacher Chi gave me many great suggestions what I should learn offline with other resources. She also gave/encouraged me a lot of chances to speak based on the senstence structure we learned today.

Chi is a fantastic teacher! I used to be very nervous about speaking and practicing Vietnamese, but Chi was very accommodating and friendly- she encourages her students to take risks and make mistakes so they can learn. If you're someone on the shier side or gets nervous when speaking Vietnamese, Chi would be a great teacher for you. I would recommend her to anyone looking to learn Vietnamese.

My partner and I have been taking lessons with Chi for over 2 years in preparation for a trip to Vietnam! As heritage speakers who wanted to reconnect with the language, we couldn't be happier that we decided to take classes with Chi. Chi structures her lessons to our needs and is always so patient. She teaches the basics very well in addition to being a great conversation partner. 10/10 recommend lessons with Chi!

Chi is an outstanding teacher! Her attention to detail is unparalleled and you can really tell she enjoys educating and helping others learn Vietnamese. Chi is also very helpful in guiding me through various thought processes when conversing in Vietnamese. I would strongly recommend her to anyone looking to learn Vietnamese (and at all levels!) 10/10
