Hi! I’m Phương - a 28-year-old CELTA-certified language teacher from Hanoi, specialising in Vietnamese and English pronunciation. With an IELTS 8.0 and seven years of experience teaching adults, I help learners speak more confidently, clearly, and naturally.
Languages aren’t just my work - they’re genuinely my passion. I love accents, slang, and all the little quirks that make each language special. When I’m not teaching, I’m usually exploring Vietnam or sharing language tips on my Instagram @alodayla (https://www.instagram.com/alodayla/).
I also love connecting with people from different cultures and traveling to new places - so I’m really excited to get to know you!
Looking forward!

Me as a Teacher
(MY AVAILABILITY CAN BE OPENED UPON REQUEST - if you can't find a time slot that suits you, send me a message and I'll do my best to adjust according to your schedule)
I am a CELTA-qualified English teacher and a Northern Vietnamese teacher with an 8.0 overall in IELTS and I have been tutoring teenagers and adults to improve their speaking, pronunciation and listening skills.
Before booking a lesson with me, please send me a message describing yourself, your level in English or Vietnamese, and your goals in learning these two languages. I want to make sure that I am the person you need, and I will try my best to meet your requirements.
My lessons & teaching style
MY CANCELLATION POLICY:
* If you cancel the lesson MORE THAN 12 HOURS before the scheduled time, I am happy to RESCHEDULE the lesson or give you a REFUND (depending on your preference).
* If you cancel the lesson LESS THAN 12 HOURS before the scheduled time, unfortunately, I will have to charge you fully for the lesson (since I won't be able to fill up that spot in time for another student).
The same policy is applied to cases of NO-SHOWS.
And it goes the other way around too! If I cancel LESS THAN 12 HOURS before the scheduled time, you will receive a free lesson from me to make up for your time :)
Thank you and see you soon!

Finding the right teacher to work with has been a challenge for me. However, after a long search, I found a teacher - Phương! I am happy that with every lesson I have taken, my knowledge of English has deepened. We focused on grammar lessons because I needed to pass my university English exam. When I prepared on my own, my score was 3.5. However, after analyzing all the problems with Phương my score went up to 7.0. I am pleased with the result.
Another thing I like about our classes is how clearly and in detail the material is presented. Also, I was given a lot of English grammar details that I never knew before. And in general, the lessons are very positive, enjoyable and interesting, and there is also a general sharing of intercultural knowledge, which I really like.

Chị thấy rất vui và may mắn được gặp em dạy tv cho chị lâu thế này. Qua gần 1 năm mình đã được thảo luận về chủ đề sâu rộng, cho chị thêm nhiều hiểu biết về VN, và quan điểm em nữa ;) Cảm ơn em luôn lắng nghe tv của chị rất kiên nhẫn, mặc dù tv của chị dạo này càng ngày càng kém, mỗi tuần chỉ nói 1-2 lần 🤣 Phuong is patient, curious and ever engaging; a keen observer of Vietnam and its culture, with a depth that demonstrates a maturity beyond her years. It has been a pleasure being in conversation with this awesome teacher and friend! Cảm ơn em.

I started learning Vietnamese 6-7 months ago and I had 4 different teachers.
Phương is by far the most skilled, prepared, interesting, fun, patient and encouraging teacher I've ever had and more importantly she teaches in the most natural way possible which none of my previous teachers did. She always has been so helpful and patient with all of my ridiculously detailed questions about the language ^^
Cảm ơn em ơi rất rất rất nhiều cho dạy anh nên là anh biết nói Tiếng Việt :)

I love the detailed & well-structured approach of Phương where she actually makes sure you understood the topic. She provides different resources according to your learning type & interests & you can start speaking from the very beginning of your journey, but you will always be able to rely on the base that she helps you establish. I'm always looking forward to our lessons 😻

Phương is truly one of the best Vietnamese teachers I’ve ever had. It’s always a pleasure to talk with her, and every lesson feels engaging and enjoyable. I’m genuinely impressed by how much my Vietnamese has improved since I started learning with her. She creates a positive atmosphere that makes speaking feel natural, and her teaching style is both supportive and effective.
I can highly recommend her to anyone who wants to make real progress in Vietnamese. Cám ơn em rất nhiều :)
