Thao Nguyen

It was yet another productive and fruitful lesson with Chị Thảo today, as we did two listening exercises and reviewed vocabulary related to time and schedules. Chị Thảo has also made it a point to correct my homework, and I am very heartened to see how I have managed to use the words and structures learnt so far to describe my daily schedules and activities - definitely looking forward to more lessons!

Thao is a serious and committed teacher. She knows how to make the lesson interesting, how to give strong grammar notions and how to help you reach fluency. I will continue learning with her as long as I'll be learning Vietnamese! Thank you so much!

Thao is exceptional and will help you accomplish your Vietnamese learning goals at any level. Her lessons are well-structured, with each session building upon the previous one. She provides homework that reinforces the concepts covered in class and dedicates time to review it thoroughly at the beginning of each lesson. She is patient and innovative, giving analogies and visualizations on how to memorize and interpret concepts.

Thảo has great lessons. She is friendly, I feel more relaxed with her than the other tutors I tried. She also integrates some of the culture into the lesson. Today we practiced tones and used vietnamese cities to practice those tones. She took the time to say a little about each city, and it was nice to have some culture in the lesson. Lessons are paced well: a quick test of last lesson's material, and then the rest is new vocab!

Thao is a great Vietnamese teacher for me because I'm a beginner, and I need help with pronunciation. I notice that I'm able to use my language skills here in my area with Vietnamese people. Also, Thao is helping me prepare for my trip to Vietnam. I strongly recommend this teacher.

Excellent teaching so far for someone who spoke a bit as a child, but is still a beginner. Good materials and nice cultural knowledge, as well as focus and attention on proper pronunciation. A+!
