Working at Dwight School Hanoi has strengthened Minh’s belief that personalized learning starts with relationships. By observing, conferencing, and listening to her students, she learns what inspires and challenges them. She uses that understanding to adapt instruction, offering choice, scaffolding, and open-ended inquiry projects that allow each student to grow from where they are. For her, personalized learning is about helping every child find their own spark of genius and see that their voice matters.

Inspiring a Global Vision

Minh inspires students to embrace Dwight School Hanoi’s global vision by helping students see themselves as part of a bigger world. In her classroom, learning is connected to different cultures and perspectives, and she encourages students to share their own experiences. Through creative projects and collaboration, they learn to appreciate diversity, think globally, and act with empathy.

Inspiring Learning, Modeling Balance

Minh loves designing engaging lessons that make learning fun and meaningful. What keeps that passion alive is seeing how creative approaches can inspire students and help them discover their own love for learning. She also strives to model balance for her students by caring for her own mind, body, and heart.

Minh stays intellectually active through reading and creative lesson design, physically active by making time to move and enjoy nature, and emotionally balanced by practicing mindfulness and gratitude. In class, she encourages students to do the same, reminding them that learning well also means living well.
