My Linh
Maths in English · Cambridge, IB and AP
International exams use method marks: credit for each step of reasoning, not just the answer. Vietnamese-system students often keep the working in their heads and lose marks for it. Ms Nguyen My Linh has taught Maths in English continuously since 2018, from Cambridge Primary to A Level, IB Math and AP, so she knows what each mark scheme wants written out and what can be cut.

01 · Why Ms My Linh
Solve it right,
show full working
Cambridge, IB and AP mark differently. The same Maths question must be set out differently for full marks. Ms My Linh teaches to the mark scheme of each student’s own programme.
Solved, but with steps missing
Vietnamese-system students often keep the working in their heads and lose marks for it. Lesson one tackles this.
Knows how, but misreads
Many students can solve it but misread the question. Vocabulary and phrasing are taught in the lesson, not left to guesswork.

03 · Teaching approach
Six principles
in her lessons
Lesson format
One-to-one, bilingual lessons: core ideas explained in Vietnamese when needed, practice and answers in English to exam standard.
Write every step; skip none.
Mark schemes use method marks: three mental steps and a bare answer lose most marks, even if it is right. Lesson one tackles this.
She guides; students work it out.
She asks questions so students find the pattern themselves before she names it. It is slower at first, but your child learns to tackle unfamiliar problems alone.
Teaching to each programme’s own mark scheme.
Cambridge, IB and AP mark differently. The same Maths question must be set out differently for full marks.
Singapore Math at primary level.
From real objects to pictures, then symbols. Your child grasps the idea before meeting abstract numbers.
Maths vocabulary in English, by design.
Many students can solve it but misread the question. Vocabulary and phrasing are taught in the lesson, not left to guesswork.
Short and long tests to track progress.
Short tests each lesson catch mistakes early; milestone tests check exam readiness.
