Meet a Ho Chi Minh City Tutor: Quang T.

Quang T. grew up in Hanoi, then moved to the United States for college, graduating from American University with a degree in history. While he enjoyed seeing more of the world, he was glad to return to Vietnam when he was accepted at the HCMC University of Education, where he obtained a master's degree in teaching. After graduating, Quang accepted a teaching position at a private high school in the city, where he received numerous well-deserved promotions and learned managerial skills, in addition to cutting-edge educational strategies. After a few years, he joined the team as a professional instructor and tutor at the Ho Chi Minh City office of Manhattan Review.

Quang is very familiar with a wide variety of standardized tests, and he knows just how to help even the most anxious students master the content they need to experience their own academic success. He is also skilled at helping students learn to manage their time over standardized tests, and whether he is teaching a classroom-style group course or working with someone one-on-one, his students appreciate his patience. "There's a method to mastering standardized tests," he explains, "and I love teaching students how to achieve high scores." When he isn't helping the next generation of students achieve impressive test scores, Quang can be found enjoying street food and coffee from his favorite vendors and running with his adopted dog in the mornings before work.
