The ONLY Vietnamese teacher using natural language acquisition (Krashen method)! For the normal learning way, I also adapted the *boring* textbooks to illustrated slides! Hi, I’m Duncan—your guide to *effortless* Vietnamese & English. Living in the Central Highlands, I teach *both* Northern/Southern accents naturally, just like locals do. Struggling with grammar rules? I *get* it! As a language enthusiast (know 8 languages), I spot *why* you mix up structures (blame your mother tongue!). My secret? **No memorizing—just absorbing** through lively chats or tailored slides. Perfect for beginners to advanced learners craving *fluency*. Let’s make mistakes—they’re your fastest teachers!

Such an awesome lesson! Just the tutor I have been looking for. Tutor Duncan made plenty of room for me think in Vietnamese and speak and ask questions. Tutor Duncan guided me through the pronunciation by saying it first so that I would not bother memorizing / producing incorrect pronunciation. He created opportunities for me to use what I had just learned which was great reinforcement of the new material. Very satisfied and impressed with his use of the Krashen method. Thank you!

I have taken about 130 hours of Vietnamese lessons with over a dozen tutors and teachers on iTalki -- and Duncan is one of the best. He pays attention to how I'm speaking and he'll gently make corrections when I make a mistake or he'll suggest a more natural way of saying something. I feel like I'm improving with each lesson with him.

Duncan makes good corrections and suggestions for me to deepen my understanding of the language, for example with synonyms and context behind using different words
