Personal Description:
School can be tough, and every student deserves the support they need in order to understand the material. I have worked with over 80 students through online and in-person tutoring sessions that result in a better understanding of classroom material and a boost of confidence in academic pursuit. I always keep my sessions thorough and concise, and I make sure that my students always walk away with a better understanding of the subject. I have been a private tutor for over 5 years and teaching is truly my passion. I obtained an Honours Bachelor of Science from the University of Toronto in Pharmacology and Biochemistry with a cGPA of 3.8, and I am currently pursuing my Masters of Science in Medical Research.
I am fluent in English and Vietnamese. I am available for in-home tutoring or online tutoring.
Tutoring Experience:
I have experience working with students in middle school, high school and university. I have also worked with students with learning disabilities. I am also a lab instructor at U of T for the Med YSP program in which I work with high school students to help them learn university labs.
On top of that, I also conduct exam prep courses for over 50 students in Biology at the University of Toronto.
Tutoring Approach:
I can help you in organic chemistry, physical chemistry, biology, math and calculus. I have experience in tutoring IB, AP and university students. Specifically at U of T, I have tutored CHM136, CHM135 and BIO230. I also have experience working with teens who struggles in class due to mental health concerns.
I am a very patient individual and I always make sure my student grasps a concept clearly before moving on. Additionally, I also help my students to work towards achieving better studying habits and managing school related stress.

From Charlene (/5): (College / University Biology) I had a very clear understanding of my Biology 12U because of the help of Chi , I 'd like to pursue more sessions with her because she is very dedicated to her job and I can tell that she is very passionate about what she does. She loves to help and provide the best care to her students. She explains the material well and gives you options on which material to focus on. She even gives you advices such as: redirecting you to websites to help you further study for your work. She goes extra mile of her teaching styles. She does not only teaches Biology but also other courses that falls under her forte of teaching. I would highly recommend Chi to any other students because she is great in everything that she does in regards to her teaching skills.

From Sarina (/5): (College / University Biology) Chi is an amazing tutor! I contacted her one day before my BIO230 exam for some last-minute help. She responded really quickly and we set a review plan for the next day. I was able to purchase a review package from her which was extremely detailed, had every concept I had to know for the course organized in sections and a set of review questions at the end of each section. I took some time to work through the package and at the end of the day had a 1-hour session with Chi, in which we went through my wrong answers. She was able to answer all my questions in detail and also provided some tips & tricks for taking the exam. The exam went very well and I was able to achieve the grade I wanted in the course! Chi's help was absolutely essential in my success and I would strongly recommend working with her!
Reply from Chi: Great job on the exam! I'm so happy we were able to achieve the result you wanted.
From Miss (/5): (College / University Biology) Chi is an amazing tutor. As a student who has both ADHD and dyslexia, Chi remained patient and repeated, further clarifying topics. She made it so that I could understand complicated processes in simplified manner. Since I have ADHD, my mind tends to wonder off but Chi made it so I would not get off topic and kept me engaged. Chi is hands on and accessible outside of our sessions. She was flexible with our schedule and accommodated when asked. She is a wonderful tutor overall and I would highly recommend.
Reply from Chi: Thank you Miss Aye! It was a pleasure to help you learn Biology. All the best in your nursing program.
From Laurie (/5): (Casual Science)
From Tim (/5): (Secondary Biology) Chi is an amazing person and tutor. She has great insights on all her subjects that she tutors and does the best of her capabilities to ensure that her students perform at their highest potential.
Reply from Chi: Thank you for the kind feedback! It was a pleasure working with you.
From Binh-Van (/5): (Secondary Chemistry) I feel very comfortable asking questions, I don’t feel intimidated to ask even the easiest question, Chi happily answered all my questions and walked me through all steps to solving all problems. She made sure I understand how to solve the question/problem fully before moving on to the another. My marks has improvised drastically. Overall amazing tutor.
Reply from Chi: It’s a pleasure to work with you Joanne! Thank you for the feedback. Im so happy I was able to help you improve yours marks.
From Ali (/5): (Elementary Math) Chi is a devoted professional. She is very punctual and structured. While she has good knowledge of methods taught in Ontario schools, she can further utilize multiple approaches to make sure her student comprehends the topics fundamentally.
We have come know that our child has significantly improved in handling more challenging math problems subsequent to developing an interest in math itself. We also noticed that Chi is very keen on linking math to real-life applications to make sure her student implements what they learn in day to day.

From Su (/5): (College / University Chemistry)
From Alana (/5): (Secondary Chemistry) My son loves her. Chi is helping currently helping my son with grade 11 chemistry. We had our first meeting in person. She was very accommodating and professional. We have had 2 sessions since then and my son feels more confident.
From Ania (/5): (Secondary Math) Chi has been a very helpful tutor. We mostly work on Advanced Functions but she is also a great Chemistry tutor and helps me with both subjects whenever needed. She explains concepts in simple steps that really help me understand the material better. Usually in school if there isn't much time we don't go over math problems with enough detail. Chi is then always happy to explain anything that I don't understand and help me correct my homework errors. After our tutoring sessions I walk away feeling much more confident with my math work and when doing homework later I find myself making less mistakes and having less stress. I would definitely recommend Chi to anyone looking for a tutor in Math, Chemistry or Biology, she is great to work with and really knows the material.
Reply from Chi: Thank you so much for the kind review! I'm glad to know that our sessions helped you gain confidence in your school material.

From Connie (/5): (Secondary Chemistry) Nice teacher. Easy to talk to and ask questions.
From Evytte (/5): (College / University Chemistry) Chi is amazing! Explains everything thoroughly and really wants to see you do well! She’s made math and chemistry things I’ve always struggled with in the case of math and chemistry I’ve never done so easy!
From Teresa (/5): (Secondary Math) 4.5 Chi’s style of teaching is easy to follow. She provides great feedback and encouragement. She quickly helped me find solutions to questions I was having difficulty with. A louder microphone may make communicating easier.
