Fun Facts

My name is Ngan, but feel free to call me Ti (pronounced like the drink "tea"). I was born in Vietnam and came to America when I was six. A little about me: I really enjoy dancing. Although I'm bad at it, every time I hear a melody I just can't help but dance. I don't like working out, but playing sports and riding my bike are ways I get my exercise in!

About Me

Since attending The washington-university">George washington-university">Washington University, I have had the chance of meeting ambitious young people who seek to be successful in their own way in DC. I am not an exception. One of my goals is to keep up my GPA average so that I can go to graduate school and pursue a career in public service. Although school is important, my personal goal is to be able to balance my professional self and my social self. I find that without support of family members and true friends, I would not be able to continue what I am doing.

I did not realize how much I enjoy washington-dc">tutoring others until I found myself coming back to working and helping students. One of my most memorable experiences was when I traveled to Vietnam to teach two TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) classes to college students and adults. I was able to be on the other side of the job and use my knowledge and skills to help others achieve their own professional goals. Thus, I hope to continue washington-dc">tutoring others as a part-time job to help myself reach my own professional goals.

Never once did my parents make me do anything I did not like, including school. And I am grateful for that. However, there were times that I wish they understood the hard work I put into my studies and encouraged me. Thus, I believe that everyone can reach their goals if they have the support and put in the hard work. Also, I believe that everyone learns and works at his or her own pace. As a washington-dc">tutor, I want to take the time to learn about the student and understand why and what makes the student struggle. As a mentor, I want the students to be comfortable to ask questions and be honest with their struggles.
