Students can choose me as their English tutor, for a couple of reasons. Firstly, I have lots of expertise and experience with the English language. I am fluent in both English and Vietnamese, with Vi... etnamese being my mother tongue. I have studied and learned English ever since Grade 1, so my English is fluent at a native-like level. As a non-Native English speaker, I can understand the struggles that non-Native English learners are experiencing. Not only that, but I have also taken English language exams in Vietnam, such as IELTS and TOEFL iBT. In addition, I also have some academic achievements, which involves the English language. In April 2016, I earned a Bronze Medal in the English section, as part of the Academic Olympics Contest, while I was studying at high school in my home city, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Not only that, but I was also awarded with the President’s Scholar Award at SJSU, because I got 4.00/4.00 GPA in the Fall 2021 semester, which was my first semester at SJSU. Followed by my English language experiences, I also worked as a History tutor at the Ohlone College. History majors are trained with various skills, such as reading, writing, and critical thinking, all of which are necessary and relevant to English tutoring. As an introvert. I prefer having deep and meaning communications, in a one-on-one setting. Since tutoring is mostly one-on-one, I think that tutoring is a good fit for me, as it allows me to focus on helping the student. Not only that, but as an introvert, I can relate to others, at an emotional level. Right now, I am working as a volunteer tutor at Step Up Tutoring. Furthermore, I helped my teachers and friends in Vietnam with their English learning and homework before. With my meticulous and thorough approach, my teachers and friends were able to learn English successfully.read more

Hello everybody, my name is Khoi, and I am living in Cupertino, California. I was born and raised in Vietnam, and I moved to the U.S. in late December 2018. My hobbies include listening to music, play... ing video games, and reading about History. In addition, I also have a personal blog, where I write about things that are related to my personal hobbies and interests. Blogging is beneficial, as it helps improving my writing skills, as well as clearing my mind from anxiety. I like tutoring, because it is a one-on-one activity that fits my introverted personality. As an introvert, I really enjoy discussing and talking with others about interesting and intriguing topics at a deep and meaningful level. Not only that, but I am also sensitive and sympathetic, when it comes to emotions. These qualities and traits are necessary for a good tutor. Furthermore, tutoring others can also help me grow, as a person, because I can learn so many amazing things from others as well. My tutoring philosophy is about making things fun and enjoyable. My objective is to help the students speak English effectively and confidently, in various contexts. I have seen lots of people being afraid and dreadful of speaking English. Because of these negative experiences, I wanted to change these perceptions and make English learning as enjoyable as possible. To do so, I will introduce various topics that are relevant, interesting, and relatable to the students. I also make sure that the lessons that they are learning has a practical value in the real world. Based on my experience as an IELTS and TOEFL test taker, I believe that I have what it takes to help the students with English speaking. I have lots of fun communicating in English, and I want others to feel the same as well. That’s all there is about me. Thank you for visiting my profile! I am looking forward to working with you!read more
