Tien is great!

I have been studying with Miss Thuy Tien for a few months now, and she is wonderful to work with! I have been learning with various teachers at SVFF for two years now, and Tien is one of the easiest to talk to. She is patient, understanding, and has a good balance between structured and flexible teaching style.

Học tiếng Việt với em Thịnh đi

Học tiếng Việt với em Thịnh đi! :-)

I have been learning Vietnamese with Mr. Hữu Thịnh for seven months via SFVV (49 hours) as a native English speaker. My goal is to speak some Vietnamese ahead of a first trip to Vietnam. Since starting my lessons, em Thịnh has been an outstanding, encouraging, and supportive teacher for every lesson and even in between lessons through chat. He is always on time, very respectful, and makes the lessons enjoyable! Em Thịnh teaches English in Vietnam across multiple grade levels, and it is clear that he understands that learning a new language takes time and effort with lots of positive encouragement.

Miss Kim Ngân makes learning easy!

As a Vietnamese-American that didn’t grow up speaking Vietnamese at home, outside resources had always seemed like a lost cause: as most of them are incredibly dated and specific to the northern dialect- but SVFF has been a lifesaver.
My teacher, Miss Kim Ngân, is an angel! ❤️ She’s been incredibly patient and encouraging and I’ve already learned more in two weeks with her than I have in years trying to teach myself. I look forward to continuing my language learning journey with her and SVFF.
I highly recommend their courses and tutoring sessions. Everyone is super sweet, their communications are fast and detailed, and their prices are very reasonable.

4 years and counting…

I’ve been learning Vietnamese with SVVF, mainly with my teacher Phi, for 4 years now. Phi has helped me create a new life here in Vietnam thanks to improving my Vietnamese. SVFF has great materials to use during our lessons, and self study materials. But at the same time Phi is flexible and able to prepare a lesson plan about any topic if we want to cover something the standard materials don’t. Just this Saturday we were finished our last lesson about Dak Lak and the traditions of that region.

I would highly recommend SVFF to anyone looking to learn Vietnamese. My teacher is Miss Thuy Tien. She is patient, kind, and easy to feel comfortable with. She does a good job of noticing which areas I struggle with and giving me extra practice when I need it. I feel that my Vietnamese is continually improving even though I admittedly don't study as much as I should. I think this is a testament to Miss Tien's teaching.

Thịnh Hữu is the friendliest and most…

Thịnh Hữu is the friendliest and most patient teacher you will ever find, even coping with an old student with a tight schedule like me. He is really like a younger brother to me, except he isn't as nagging as younger siblings often are :-) He encourages me and does not mind going through sections again when I feel like I need it. Thanks to him I feel that I will actually be able to communicate in Vietnamese one day in the future. The online learning materials from SVFF has some layout shortcomings, but Thinh and the way the SVFF lessons are structured makes up for that in a great way. I highly recommend him to anyone struggeling with pronounciation and sentence building. Looking forward to my next lesson with him!

Great Experience Learning with Miss Thuy Tien at SVFF

I have been learning Vietnamese at SVFF with Miss Thuy Tien for several months now, and I would highly recommend her as a teacher. Her teaching style is very engaging, and she is a very friendly and patient teacher who is always willing to answer my questions about the vocabulary, concepts, grammar and pronunciation. I really enjoy my lessons with her, and my skill and confidence in Vietnamese have grown significantly as a result. Thank you Miss Thuy Tien!

I would highly recommend anyone interested in learning Vietnamese to try SVFF. The course content is very well presented and practical, and the 1-on-1 lesson style is very effective. Overall, SVFF is a phenomenal resource for learning southern Vietnamese that is very reasonably priced.

Thank you for your reply.

Thank you for your reply.

I would like to clarify that I did not expect an unrealistically low price, this price was literally given to me by the teacher herself during our WhatsApp conversation. I still have the full conversation, and the screenshot is available upon request.

In addition, on your website it clearly stated:
“Beginner pack level 1 - with a native teacher , $29.99.”
If this price was meant for a self-study course only, then the website description should clearly say “without native teacher.”

For me, this is not about the amount of money, but about principle, transparency, and correct communication.
Mistakes can happen, but when the information on your own site and your teacher’s confirmation both say the same thing, it becomes understandable that a student feels misled.

Miss Thuy Tien with SVFF has helped me so much! She is patient, kind and a great teacher. She is also easy to talk to and get along with.

I look forward to our lessons every week and am grateful that SVFF exists! It is a great program. I recommend Thuy Tien for anyone!! She is AMAZING!!

Ms Tien is the best!

I have been learning Vietnamese with Ms Tien Thuy since June 2025. She is very patient, understanding, engaged and had taught me a lot already. I am writing this review because I saw she was mentioned with a one star review of SVFF and that is so unfair. The person who wrote that expected 10 lessons for 3 dollars each, a crazy price anywhere in the world. SVFF is a great school with a lot of resources and it is more than reasonably priced for private lessons, in person or online. I highly recommend Ms Tien and SVFF and I ask you to disregard the 1-star review as it came from someone unreasonable. Ms Tien is the best!

Great experience learning with Thịnh

I am fairly introverted and was initially nervous about taking Vietnamese lessons, but Thịnh‘s super friendly nature immediately made me feel comfortable. His teaching style is gentle enough that I never feel discouraged when I make mistakes, but it is also critical enough to help me identify where I'm going wrong and how I can improve. Throughout each lesson, Thịnh identifies concepts that I found challenging and gives me customised homework to help strengthen those areas. Along with an excellent teacher, the course content is great and seems well-paced. After only 10 lessons, I already feel more confident with my pronunciation. I highly recommend Thịnh and SVFF for learning Vietnamese.

Review for Teacher Huu Thinh- Southern Vietnamese For Foreigners

Learning with Teacher Thinh has been a great experience. The program's well - structured and easy to follow - perfect for beginners or anyone serious about learning the Southern Vietnamese dialect.

What I really like is how personal Teacher Thinh makes every lesson. He doesn't just teach the language - he brings in Vietnamese culture and history, which makes it all come alive. You can tell he genuinely cares about his students and takes pride in helping them grow. Over time, he's become not just my teacher, but like a brother - someone who truly wants to see you succeed.

I'm learning faster than I expected and look forward to every class. It's been an awesome experience all around.

SVFF is definitely the leading language school for Southern Vietnamese. I've worked with several wonderful teachers there, including currently learning with Hữu Thịnh who is a very patient and clear teacher! He's also been kind enough to help adjust things slightly when necessary for my learning level. Highly recommend SVFF!

Study with SVFF if you seriously want to learn Vietnamese

I’ve had five lessons so far with Hữu Thịnh, and I’m amazed at how much progress I’ve made in such a short time. He’s a passionate teacher who adapts to your learning style and really focuses on helping you improve in the way that works best for you.

I had tried learning before with Duolingo, but nothing compares to actively practicing with a native speaker who can guide you, correct your mistakes, and keep you motivated.

What stands out most is not just his teaching, but his kindness. I mentioned that I plan to visit Vietnam in the future, and he has already prepared thoughtful gifts for me and my children for when we come. That generosity shows how much he cares about his students beyond the lessons themselves.
