I have been a full-time Vietnamese tutor for the past few years. Through my journey of learning foreign languages on my own, I have gained a deeper understanding of students' needs. Apart from languages, I also enjoy creating vlogs and conducting Hanoi tours. This explains why I strive to make every class more than just a lesson, but also a cultural exploration. Due to my experience working independently, I have developed self-management skills, adaptability, and creativity.
Mijn creaties
Ik als leerkracht
To bring my students the best classes, I have to read extensively and prepare engaging and informative lessons, particularly for students who have little knowledge of the language and culture they have chosen to study. I always make sure to incorporate cultural information alongside language learning, as I believe it is important to give my students a comprehensive understanding of the country and its people.
When a student views me as a dedicated and passionate teacher, it is one of the sweetest rewards I can receive. I'll be with my students every step of the way, monitoring the progress and providing continued support.
Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
My teaching approach is unique and tailored to my students' backgrounds, so you won't find my lessons to be the same as those of other teachers or textbooks. I like to start by introducing new words and phrases with simple Vietnamese examples and engaging illustrations, allowing students to guess the meaning of words rather than relying on translations. I also create a variety of materials, including colourful illustrated lessons and interesting reading exercises.
I am confident that I can help you understand compound words and phrases in different contexts by breaking them down into their basic components. If you're interested, I can send you some sample of my materials before our trial.
Duong is a good teacher and is patient with me. And takes time to explain things. She gives me exercises for homework. This can be listening exercises or writing a short text. She puts class notes in a google doc for my later reference. She also has created a document with slides with pictures to explain words.
Sometimes uses Youtube or Google images to explanation as well. Good teacher!

I’m so happy to be moving up to intermediate-level Vietnamese with Cô Dương 🥳 My first lesson of the new year was such a great start—we learned more about the Vietnamese Lunar New Year, Tết! I picked up lots of new vocabulary and discovered so many interesting things. I’m excited to keep improving!

Today we focus on translating, reading and spelling! Covered topics such as describing my home, and what’s around the area close by and transportation. Really had to use my brain as I have to translate English to Vietnamese and trying to remember the vocabulary I learn but it was a good lesson of review. Corrected homework also!
Lessons always go by so quickly when we have class together :)

Great lesson with Shinegi! We read a paragraph about "before Tết" and one about "during Tết", since the lunar new year holiday just happened. Shinegi once again helped me focus on spelling and pronunciation, and I think that both are improving. Shinegi also sends me funny cartoons and things to look at during the week, which helps to keep me motivated!
