My name is Thu Thuy Nguyen. My passion is in helping students succeed. I really enjoy helping others to complete assignments, prepare for projects or tests, and guide them to pursue their interests and passions. I currently have my bachelors in Business Administration and I am actively pursuing my Masters in Counseling Education. My hope is to help students to learn more about themselves and the world. ... My teaching philosophy is to meet students where they currently are. I understand that learning can sometimes be hard, especially toward certain subjects because of personal preferences or how our mind is wired. So my approach is to learn about the student and which teaching style best fits them.

Self actualization and any accomplishments are based on learning and internalizing knowledge. I believe individualized tutoring assists in this goal. Therefore it is my personal goal to assist students by using tutoring methods such as listening to students so I understand what their needs are along with using a multi modality approach to help them progress and obtain their individual learning goals.... Philosophy of Education: Education is the mortar and bricks in which we lay down keys to higher achievement, self-worth, and higher self-esteem. Therefore, knowledge is the key to success. Each student holds their own keys to unlock doors. Once they begin to go through doors, they continue to unlock gates until they begin to reach the goals that they have been continually striving to obtain. Students are the stepping stones to the progressive and prosperous future of our society. Educators serve as the waters upon which they flow - a teacher’s responsibility is to guide them smoothly through the waters of life, by academically and socially nurturing and preparing students, so they can achieve milestones in learning. Ultimately, taking their rightful place among the imminent contributors to: the wealth, social reforms, esteemed citizens, economic leadership, accomplishments and achievements in our nation. In order to achieve their goals, students should perceive education and knowledge, as gifts. With this in mind, though, they may be appreciative of gifts; however, they have to decide if it is useful and what to do with it. I, as a teacher and educator, consider myself a road map. I can give students directions, but they have to decide which path to follow. I believe that each student is a unique individual who can achieve with their own individualized style; utilizing student's' strengths while channeling into their learning modality would assist students in their academic progress. For example, a student who exhibits math strengths could learn spelling by using numbers for letters thus making a math code to learn words. By accentuating fortes, you also help to build students' self-esteems, thereby motivating students to learn, giving them a greater feeling of self-achievement and self-worth.
