...as long as I can remember, I had an admiration of teachers, even before my father became one.

I am a teacher who is passionate about helping students achieve and succeed. Not all students learn the same way so I have to adapt my teaching to provide my students with learning opportunities that meets their needs.

Children do not all learn the same way so we have to reach all of them.

...manipulatives, pictures, etc.--in order to make the concepts clear to those I tutor. It's important to be engaged with the material, and the best way to do that is to answer the question, "Why do I need to know this?"

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.

I am a determined, responsible tutor that will help students succeed academically. As a student myself until not too long ago, I understand the importance of getting clear instructions and having supportive instructors.... I put myself in the student's shoes. I often ask myself, if I'm the student, what will be the most confusing part?... I ask the student what is bothering him and what he knows about the subject.... I teach the student the strategy of learning. It often involves identifying the problem first and figuring out what to look for.
