"Another great lesson with Tommy, easing into the lesson with a review of material covered last time, patient correction of my forgetfulness and struggling pronunciation, lots of encouragement, flexibility to let me try making some off-topic sentences, and a nice quiz and recap at the end. Looking forward to the next."

"Teacher Tommy taught me the difference of the six tones with great patience and care. Teacher Tommy is really knowledgeable and good at making teaching materials😇"

“Cảm ơn rất nhiều, em Tommy! This is now my second lesson with Tommy. He's a wonderful teacher. His lessons are very practical, giving you not just vocab and grammar but cultural nuance. He provides excellent examples and feedback on the tones that are, of course, vital in a tonal language like Vietnamese. He also adjusts the lesson on the fly to answer your specific questions. I highly recommend Tommy Truong if you are looking to learn, especially, the southern Vietnamese dialect.”

“He’s a motivating and supportive teacher who balances rigor with a lot of encouragement. He isn’t afraid to make learning fun and doesn’t teach straight from a book. I’d say anyone who is a beginner would benefit from his guidance. For the more experienced, I’d say you’d still find a lot of value due to him offering a topical approach to lessons.”

"Thank you Teacher Tommy for this first tailor-made class! I felt very much at ease after a short introductory ice-breaker and loved how interactive the class was, putting new knowledge straight into practice, no time wasted! I can only recommend teacher Tommy for his professional attitude, patience, interactive approach and friendliness!"

"Clear demonstration and interpretation, thank you! I'm cheered to learn Vietnamese more!"

"You can always rely on Tommy as he is always professional. I am happy that I have found him as a teacher for conversational classes. He explains things very well and has lots of patience. And a smile always goes a long way. Cảm ơn em nhiều nha!"

"Great lesson! I like the fact that he lets me talk a lot - that’s what I look for most in a teacher. :)"

“So much fun. Had very creative and unique learning methods and exercises for me to practice and help my learning. Super impressed and grateful.”

"If you’re looking for someone who is hyper-focused on your success, this is your guy. I’ve spent many first sessions with many tutors (~15) and each has their strength. Tam’s strength is his attention to detail and his patience in making sure you don’t just sound right but speak right. Under his instruction, you’re in good hands."

“I've known Tommy for many years. While Vietnamese is his native language, he also has great command and clarity of the English language. He is eager for his students to learn and will do his best to make sure each lesson is a step toward proficiency. You won't be disappointed by choosing Tommy as your next language teacher.”

I highly recommend Tommy to anybody who is looking for a Vietnamese teacher. He is very kind and patience and creative.

My 9 year old son really enjoys his lessons with Tommy so far. He provides support and discipline in a very friendly way.  

I had a lot of fun talking in Vietnamese about various topics (today food in particular), taking turns asking questions. It was very helpful when you helped write the new words I was learning in the chat for me to save, and I like how you asked me to read different passages or practice answering questions to figure out what I know and don't know yet :)

Tommy is very helpful and easy to talk to. I had a great conversational class with him. He helps me with my pronunciation and expanding my vocabulary.

Mr. Truong was very helpful and well organized. We had a good time and he is easy to understand. His English skill is also very good and helpful for explaining Vietnamese grammar concepts.

Teacher Tommy is very kind and patient. I was late for the class for about 50minutes but Teacher Tommy still kindly offered me the access to the class on line. Meanwhile he has introduced the different pronunciations of some vocabulary in Northern and Southern Vietnam. Very useful information 👍

Tam has been a great teacher so far. Informative, knowledgable, useful course materials including interactive activities he's made himself. Would definitely recommend to other learners of Vietnamese. Cheers Tam!
