Achieve Real Vietnamese Fluency in Just 2 Months – with a Native Speaker (5+ Years Experience, Proven Results, Tailored for You)

22 £ /h

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!

Konnichiwa!こんにちは!

- Discovery of culture and language (great beginners and false beginners)
- Improvement to prepare JLPT 1-5 exams

We can work writing and speaking, with a method (Japan Foundation) or any other desired medium.

The goal of this class is to achieve JLPT N1. This is for those who already obtain N2 or who have the knowledge equivalent to N2.

After achieving N2, maybe you lost your goal and don't know what to do or what to aim at. Maybe, N1 is on of your option. Achieving N1 is for sure a tough and rough way to go, but that is why I'm here!

For beginners, I also use English or Chinese. At the intermedite levels, lessons are primarily conducted in Japanese so that students can be exposed to as much Japanese as possible.

Hello! Do you dream of ordering ramen in Tokyo, understanding your anime without subtitles, passing the JLPT, or communicating with your Japanese colleagues? You've come to the right place!

My name is Célia, a passionate Japanese teacher with a Master's degree in Japanese Studies specializing in didactics and linguistics. I have been teaching for over 6 years to a wide variety of students: middle and high school students, adults retraining or in professional training, manga enthusiasts... and even learners on the other side of the world.

How are my classes going?
Here, there are no lessons where you copy vocabulary lists for an hour. I use an action-oriented approach: you learn Japanese by doing concrete things (introducing yourself, shopping, talking about your weekend, writing a message...). You speak from the very first session, at your own pace and without pressure.

Mistakes are welcome, that's how we progress!

What I offer you:
🌸 Learn hiragana and katakana in just a few weeks, with tips to easily remember them
🗣️ Speaking, speaking, and more speaking, in real-life situations
📚 A clear progression, with recognized textbooks (Marugoto, Genki...) or a 100% personalized program
🎯 Targeted preparation for the JLPT (N5 to N3)
🍵 And throughout the course, cultural gems: customs, folklore, everyday expressions... Because language is only a reflection of culture.

Whether you're a complete beginner, a student who has "started out on your own with an app", or a learner looking to take your skills to the next level: each course is tailored to your goals, your level and your pace. Children, teens and adults are all welcome.

Book your first lesson and let's take the first step together. Let's go!
