Thank you for being interest in my profile. I am a multi-lingual teacher meaning I can speak and teach 4 languages, including: English, Mandarin, Cantonese and Vietnamese. I'm Chinese-Vietnamese and I studied at the Occidental College (which is the school that former US president Barack Obama also went too). I established my own language center but still find enormous passion in teaching languages because I notice that while teaching you, I can learn a lot of all of you too. And through the process of helping you improve your knowledge, I can also learn from you and your experiences. Hope we can have a wonderful experience together!
Me as a Teacher
As a teacher and a working person, I understand your struggles of having to balance between work, life and studying too. So my job, as your teacher is to accommodate you and your schedules to the best of my ability. At the same time, my lessons are informative but definitely not stressful. 100% of my students would say that my classes offer them the best of both worlds, since they can take things easier after a busy work day while still able to learn new knowledge. So if you're looking for that silver lining, I'm definitely suitable for you.
My lessons & teaching style
Depending your needs, I offer Conversation classes in English, Mandarin, Cantonese and Vietnamese. These conversation classes will provide you the vocabularies, sentence structures and grammars that will allow you to host daily conversation after 4 months. Hence, each lesson will have different daily topics for you to tackle. Besides conversational classes, I also teach TOEFL, IELTS, TOEIC, IGCSE and IB diploma classes for English. And as for Chinese Mandarin, I also have HSK 1 to 6 classes available for you to study.

Vivian is an expert polyglot. She has exceptional prowess in Vietnamese, Chinese, and English…all at a native level. With that, she brings a level of not just language skills but also cultural competencies that makes one able to dive deeply into all nuances across all languages. Thank you!
I am American-born of Vietnamese-Chinese ancestry, and Vivian has been curating a special series of sessions at my request. I am very grateful and lucky to find Vivian.
