Founder & President

“My whole life is a blessing. I had the opportunity to study with many inspiring teachers. Born into a middle-low income family in the centre of Vietnam,  with effort, I received an international merit fellowship to finish my master degree from Harvard University in 2015. With a strong sense of enlightenment,  inspiration, and compassion, I really want to contribute my energy for a better Vietnam, via education. Even more than that, I have a dream to channel talents from all backgrounds to orient their hands, heart and head toward creating a strong pipeline of future leaders in general education. In Vietnam, general education, albeit providing a high return on investment, currently receives much less effort from the community and the public than in the higher education sector.

In early October 2015, I came across Teach For All, I became aware of the movement in 40 countries in the world to bring equal opportunity to excellent education for all children, regardless of their socio-economic backgrounds, via a very innovative approach. As a result, I quit my high-paying job, and approached Teach For All, with a strong intention to establish Teach For Vietnam.

The journey of thousand miles begins with one step.”
