Bio

Hi there,

I obtained my Bachelor of Science at the University of Virginia and completed my Master's at George Washington University and my PhD in Microbiology and Immunology at Georgetown University.

My tutoring experience began in high school, where I tutored my neighbor's son. Since then, I have been teaching and working as a math and science tutor for 10+ years. Notably, I have worked as a Teaching Assistant for GWU biochemistry course and taught as a part-time faculty member at...

Hi there,

I obtained my Bachelor of Science at the University of Virginia and completed my Master's at George Washington University and my PhD in Microbiology and Immunology at Georgetown University.

My tutoring experience began in high school, where I tutored my neighbor's son. Since then, I have been teaching and working as a math and science tutor for 10+ years. Notably, I have worked as a Teaching Assistant for GWU biochemistry course and taught as a part-time faculty member at Catholic University of America.

I have experience tutoring students with a wide variety of interests and backgrounds as well as learning difficulties such as ADHD and testing anxiety. My high school students have found great success in their classes and gained acceptance to prestigious universities such as Yale and Chicago.

In addition, I have also tutored college and graduate students as well as adult learners in challenging subjects such as biochemistry, biostatistics, anatomy and physiology, and standardized exams such as the GRE and MCAT.

I believe that each student has a unique set of strengths and weaknesses and a unique learning style. Therefore, I use an interactive and interdisciplinary approach in teaching, where I adapt my teaching style to fit each student's needs.

In addition to teaching, I am equally passionate about helping my students with career choices. I have taken standardized exams (the SAT, ACT, GRE, and MCAT), applied to colleges and graduate schools, and worked as a young professional. From these experiences, I can provide students with informed advice on admissions to colleges and graduate programs as well as subsequent career paths. I am comfortable teaching students across age groups and educational levels, from middle schoolers to adult learners.

In summary, I am a passionate educator, and I want to help my students reach their educational goals. Thank you for reading, and I look forward to working with you.

Recommended Chemistry and Advanced Algebra Tutor

Thuan started off by tutoring my son in chemistry several months ago. When he needed help with his advanced algebra class, we asked Thuan if he could tutor him in that subject as well, and we were very happy to find that he could work with him on both subjects. Thuan is an engaging tutor, and he has helped my son increase his understanding of both topics. We would definitely recommend his services.

Skillful statistics tutor!

Thuan is teaching me statistics and he is the best tutor I could have asked for. He is patient, kind, thorough and really is very encouraging. I honestly was so afraid to take this class and I didn't know how I could grasp any of the material. Thuan has a way of making it less scary and really helps me break things down and understand it. In fact, since he's so skillful I already plan to learn from him for another challenging class next semester! Thanks Thuan!!!
