From 13 £ /h

Xin chào, I'm Tam, your friendly tutor living in Saigon.
Struggling with Vietnamese pronunciation, tones, or listening to native speakers? You’re not alone—and I’m here to help.
Many learners find it hard to:

- Pronounce unfamiliar consonants such as ng and nh
- Remember tones that completely change word meanings (e.g., á, à, ả)
- Understand native speakers at natural speed
- Use words appropriately for age, gender, social status, and context
- Feel confident speaking Vietnamese in real conversations

If this sounds like you, welcome to my class 😊

As you studied your mother tone, learning Chinese also start from listening, copy, speak, read and write. Pronunciation is the very first step to start to speak a language, and it's inseparable from listening. Then from word, we build phrases, then conversations by differents topics that are useful in daily life.
Through the personal tips/videos/songs/ interactive game or language missions, I'll guide you how to practice effectively and gains.

Vietnamese is my mother tongue.
I have a Southern accent (like a Saigon accent) since I lived there for 10 years
I also have a Central accent because this is my hometown and I can speak Vietnamese with a Northern accent as well.

Speak Vietnamese Fluently in Just 2 Months!

Hi! I'm Thương, a Vietnamese teacher from Hanoi – the heart of Vietnam's culture.

I'm a patient, cheerful, friendly tutor who is passionate about helping international learners speak Vietnamese naturally and confidently.

In my lessons, I use real-life stories and everyday conversations to help you not only improve your Vietnamese, but also understand the culture behind the language. Whether you're focusing on grammar or communication, I will always tailor the lessons to what you need most — so that you can see fast and meaningful progress.

Whether you are:
✅ A complete beginner starting your Vietnamese journey
✅ Planning a trip to Vietnam and want to speak like a local
✅ Working or doing business in Vietnam and seeking deeper connections
✅ Moving to Vietnam to live with your loved ones
✅ Or simply fascinated by the Vietnamese language and culture
— I have a personalized roadmap just for you.

I’ve worked with students from Japan, South Korea, the U.S., Germany, China, and more – helping them not only master the Vietnamese language but also deeply understand the culture and people of Vietnam.

I teach in the Northern Vietnamese accent (Hanoi dialect). I also speak English (TOEIC 800+) and Japanese (JLPT N2), which allows me to explain difficult concepts in an easy and understandable way.

Outside of teaching, I love traveling, exploring, and taking international friends to discover local food, cultural sites, and hidden gems around Hanoi.

I hold a professional certificate in Teaching Vietnamese as a Foreign Language. With over 5 years of experience, I have taught students of all levels – from absolute beginners to advanced learners aiming to use Vietnamese for work and daily life.

What I offer:
Vietnamese for everyday communication
Vietnamese for travelers
Vietnamese for work and business
Correct pronunciation with the Northern accent
Vietnamese culture, customs, and norms

Focused skills practice: speaking, listening, reading, writing

I also hold an International Tour Guide License, so if you're planning to visit Vietnam, I can guide you on amazing journeys across the country – from North to South.

And when you’re in Hanoi, we can even study together offline at some chill cafés or beautiful cultural spots in the city – learning in the most fun and authentic way possible!

Do you find Vietnamese tones hard to remember?
Is the grammar too flexible and confusing?
Maybe you’ve studied for a while, but still can’t speak naturally?
Or you feel like Vietnamese is dry and difficult to enjoy?
You might have thought: “Why is Vietnamese so hard...?”

You’ve been there, right?

👉 I totally understand – many of my students have felt the same way at first.
But don’t worry! With the right approach, Vietnamese can actually be fun, clear, and full of life. 🌱I’ll help you learn with simple, practical, and interactive lessons that match your pace and interests.

Whether you want to speak confidently while traveling, understand your Vietnamese partner better, or simply explore this beautiful language and culture — I’m here to guide you.

Together, we’ll turn confusion into clarity, and fear into confidence. 💪

Let’s make Vietnamese learning an enjoyable journey you’ll love!

👉 Don’t wait any longer – apply now and let’s start your Vietnamese journey together!

🧏‍♀️ Hi there! My name is Quỳnh My, and you can also call me Quiana. I am a university-educated language consultant with a degree in English Linguistics and a global TESOL certification. I live in a beautiful, misty mountain city in Vietnam affectionately called "phố núi"—a place known for its cool weather that I am incredibly proud of.
💚 Before moving into full-time education, I spent years working across the vibrant international tourism hubs of Huế and Hội An. I built a diverse background in hospitality, holding various professional roles from front desk receptionist and tour guide to sales executive and executive management assistant. Today, working as an international tutor brings that wonderful sense of cross-cultural travel right back to me, allowing me to easily bring my professional teaching skills into every session. I am also a lifelong music lover—I immerse myself daily in melodies from all over the world, including Vietnamese, English, French, Cantonese, Mandarin, Japanese, Korean, Thai, and German songs. This deep musical background shapes how I master and teach languages. I firmly believe that pronunciation is the master key to fluency; a beautiful, authentic accent is what truly makes you stand out. Vocabulary and practical skills are simply the beautiful flowers that grow from that strong foundation.
🎯 My Focus on Practical Vietnamese & Accent Versatility:
- Accent Versatility: As a native speaker, I have complete command over both Standard Northern and Southern accents. My everyday voice is entirely liberated from heavy regional dialects, meaning I can easily adapt my accent to match your specific personal, geographic, or business goals. When I teach, I switch to an immaculate, crystal-clear standard pronunciation.
- Curated Real-World Resources: Standard textbooks can often be rigid or outdated. To ensure you learn the language as it is actually spoken today, I select dynamic materials from cutting-edge online resources, global literature, short stories, contemporary movie episodes, and native music.
- Advanced Immersion: For intermediate and advanced learners, we move past basic drills and dive straight into authentic cultural materials, including short stories, native music, and famous proverbs.
🛠️ Tailored for Your Specific Goals: I treat Vietnamese as a beautiful subject to be truly mastered. However, I completely understand that your time may be limited, or your goals might be focused on immediate real-world use. Whether you are learning for basic travel, family connections, casual friendships, or professional corporate relationships, I am fully ready to strip away the academic fluff and hand you practical, real-life communication skills.
🌟 By taking this class, you will:
- Master clean, beautiful pronunciation free from confusing local distortion.
- Conquer native tones and read Vietnamese words with natural flow.
- Progress smoothly step-by-step through a personalized curriculum.
🍀 My classroom doors are wide open to driven individuals of all ages, professional backgrounds, and proficiency levels. Book your introductory session today, and let's turn your global fluency goals into reality!

Hi! I’m Thảo, a Vietnamese tutor based in Hanoi, Vietnam, with over 20 years of professional experience and a background in communication and journalism.

I help learners speak Vietnamese clearly, improve their pronunciation, and understand how the language is actually used in real-life situations.

Many learners struggle not because of vocabulary, but because they don’t fully understand pronunciation, context, and cultural meaning.

With over 20 years of professional experience, I know how to communicate clearly and explain complex ideas in a simple, structured way.

In my lessons, I focus on:

• improving your pronunciation step by step

• helping you understand how and why Vietnamese is used in different situations

• building your confidence in real conversations

I carefully correct your mistakes and guide you step by step, so you can improve your accuracy and speak more naturally.

I adapt each lesson to your needs and learning style, so you can learn in a way that works best for you.

Learning Vietnamese can feel confusing at first, especially when you don’t understand how the language works in real life.

Most people don’t struggle with Vietnamese because of grammar.

They struggle because they’ve never used it in real life.

You may know the words.
You may understand the structure.

But when it comes to actually speaking:

You hesitate
You translate in your head
You’re not sure if what you say sounds “natural”

That’s the gap I help you close.

Not by teaching more theory
but by putting you into real situations where Vietnamese is actually used.

I don’t just teach you the language.

I help you live in it.
How I work with you:

1. Practical Vietnamese for real situations
We focus on how Vietnamese is actually spoken in daily life and work, not textbook examples.

You’ll learn:

How locals really talk
How to respond naturally
How to stop translating in your head

2. Instead of just sitting in class, we go into real contexts:
Ordering food
Talking to locals
Navigating daily situations

This is where your confidence actually builds.

3. Understand the culture behind the language
Because speaking correctly is not enough.

You need to understand:

Why people say things a certain way
What is polite, indirect, or emotional in Vietnamese
How to respond in a way that feels natural not forced

But more importantly:

I’ve helped people move from
“I understand Vietnamese” to “I can actually use it in real life.”

If you want to stop learning Vietnamese like a subject
and start using it like a part of your daily life,

We’ll start with a real situation you’re struggling with and work from there.
