Chu-Giang
I hold a B.S. in Economics, a B.A. in Mathematics, and a M.S. in Applied Mathematics. I am fluent in Vietnamese. Currently, I tutor students in all levels of mathematics and strive to help students achieve their academic goals. I enjoy tutoring at the Student Success Center because it brings me joy to assist students in a subject that I once enjoyed learning myself. In my free time, I enjoy learning how to play the piano.

I started my college journey here at IVC, after which I transferred to UC San Diego to earn my B.S. in Molecular and Cell Biology. I also have an M.S. in Biological Sciences from UC Irvine. I mainly tutor various biology courses, basic chemistry, and Spanish. Explaining difficult, abstract concepts is the most fun part of my job, and I am so glad to be able to help students understand more from their science courses.

When not playing guitar, I teach in a variety of departments at IVC, Saddleback College, and CSU Fullerton. With undergraduate and graduate degrees in American Studies and a PhD in Cultural Studies, my scholarly interests tend to gravitate around collective identity, music, and media technologies. Here at the Student Success Center, I've thoroughly enjoyed tutoring students through conversation, writing, and ESL, and am very likely able to assist you with a number of other subjects within the humanities or liberal arts more broadly.

I was born and raised in the suburbs of Los Angeles County and after high school attended El Camino Community College. From there, I transferred to CSU Dominguez Hills where I received a B.A. in English literature and an M.A. in English literature with an emphasis in composition and rhetoric. I am an avid reader who generally reads two to three books at a time from a variety of genres. I am also enamored with the art of storytelling across mediums- literature, poetry, plays, film, television, music, etc. For me, the writing (composition) process is akin to the thought process and how we make sense of the world, so learning to write and compose provides thinking skills that are transferrable across disciplines. I understand the writing process to be personal and intimate, and I would be honored to have you share your ideas with me.
