TESTIMONIALS

“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.”

"During his association with my firm, Tommy performed at a high level and displayed an intellectual maturity and high standard of integrity that thoroughly imoressed me and benefited my firm.I am delighted to recommend Tommy for any upcoming association that seeks to benefit from these qualities."

​

Tommy has exceeded all my expetations in teaching Vietnamese to my daughters. I wanted someone whose quality and character made me comfortable inviting them into my home, and Tommy has absolutely met that standard. He has been teaching my daughters once a week, in person, for the past year.

The goal was simply for them to be able to speak Vietnamese - and they now speak it well. Their vocabulary is even better than mine. I came to Canada in 1979 at the age of four, and throughout my life I've often surprised people with my Vietnamese language ability. Now, I'm the one surprised by how well my daughters speak Vietnamese.

"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."

“Tommy is a man who knows how to endure through anything life throws at him. He makes learning Vietnamese fun, and learning Vietnamese culture compelling. Using wittiness and creativity he draws us into a sensational learning experience.”

“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.”

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

"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😇"

"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!"

Tommy is a great teacher! I feel like I learn so much in each class and am able to have useful conversations with native speakers after my lessons. He is patient, creative, and keeps me engaged. Learning Vietnamese has never been so easy with the help of Tommy. I’m glad I found him!!

"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.”

Tommy is an excellent teacher. His lesson was fun and well tuned to understand my level of Vietnamese and work with me on it.

"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.

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!

Great first lesson. I went from knowing absolutely nothing to being able to introduce myself! Thanks so much!

Wonderful teacher.  I will definitely be working with him a lot in the future!

Had a great first lesson! Really encouraging & had material to help support.

Tommy was very easy to talk to and was able to adjust the pace of the lesson based on things I have previously learned.  I ask a lot of questions and he was very good about answering them.

Tommy was great at breaking down sentence structures and helping me to put my vocabulary into real world conversations. I look forward to our next lesson!

Tommy là đúng giờ, có thái độ tốt, và rất kiên nhẫn với tôi. Có những lúc tôi không nói đúng từ trong tiếng Việt và Tommy hướng dẫn tôi những kỹ thuật để giúp với cải thiện cách phát âm. Tôi vui nhiều. Cảm ơn Tommy. (Tommy was punctual, had a great attitude, and very patient with me. There were times I was not saying words right in Vietnamese and he provided some techniques to help with pronounciation. I had a great time. Thanks Tommy.)

a great first lesson with Tam Linh. I think he adapted fast to my level of vietnamese. spoke clearly and made sure that i understood by asking questions. I like that he gave me feedback on my pronunciation. overall an interactive and joyful lesson. cảm ơn em
