Khoi TranCupertino, CAEnglish Speaking Tutor
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 Vietnamese 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.
