About me - English
Hello everyone! I'm Lam. I am a Vietnamese native speaker. I speak Vietnamese with southern and northern accent. I have more than 4 years of experience teaching Vietnamese and English. I used to live across all three regions of Vietnam, and I love inspiring international friends about Vietnamese language, cuisine and culture.
I completely understand how challenging learning a new language can be. As someone who has experienced the struggles of mastering a foreign language, I know the frustration of feeling lost or overwhelmed at times. However, through my own journey, I’ve discovered effective tips and strategies that can make the process smoother and more enjoyable. I’m here to guide you through the challenges, offering support and personalized advice, so you don’t feel alone in your learning experience. Together, we’ll navigate this journey step by step, ensuring you build confidence and skill along the way.
My students are foreigners and also Vietnamese living abroad. I'm looking forward to meeting you.
Qualifications & Experience
I am a native Vietnamese speaker with over 4 years of experience teaching Vietnamese to both foreigners and Vietnamese living abroad. My teaching journey has included working with students of all levels—from complete beginners to advanced learners—across various age groups and cultural backgrounds.
I hold a degree in Educational Psychology, and I’ve completed training in language instruction methodologies tailored for non-native speakers.
Throughout my career, I’ve helped students:
- Build strong foundations in Vietnamese pronunciation and grammar
- Improve conversational fluency for travel, work, or daily life
- Prepare for Vietnamese language exams or interviews
- Explore Vietnamese culture, idioms, and regional dialects
I’m passionate about making language learning engaging and practical. My approach emphasizes real-life communication, cultural context, and personalized lesson plans that reflect each student’s goals and pace.
Teaching Approach
With 4 years of teaching Vietnamese, I will:
- Check students' level and goals.
- Give individual syllabus
- Diverse learning methods
- Answer all students' questions about learning Vietnamese.
My main goal is to help you improve your communication abilities and perfect your pronunciation. Each class is a blend of listening and speaking activities in at least 90 minutes, with real-time feedback from me to ensure you’re on the right track.
Vocabulary and grammar are seamlessly integrated into each lesson to reinforce your learning.
I’m confident that after our sessions, you'll gain a greater understanding and appreciation for Vietnam, its people, and the language itself.
In addition to speaking and listening, I also offer lessons focused on reading and writing in Vietnamese. You'll learn how to read and understand various texts while improving your writing skills through practical exercises. Each lesson will guide you step-by-step, making it easier to grasp sentence structures, vocabulary, and the unique aspects of Vietnamese writing.
If you're eager to learn Vietnamese and explore the culture, feel free to reach out to me.
