Let's me introduce myself. My name is Khai Nguyen. Here is my personal story of how I started my tutoring company, YOKO HELPER. The company would not existed today if while I was in college I didn't always find myself the day before studying the exam late night, stressing out due to a lack of preparation, and drinking caffeinated drinks (i.e. coffee and red bull) just to keep my eyes awake till sunrise comes up. In other words, it feels like a full-time job with no guaranteed pay-off and definitely no pay-check. During those long painful hours studying before the exam, I always find myself having thoughts in mind like "It would be nice if a mentor or anyone can help me passed this exam?" I never put that much second thought into that idea until I find myself again in the same predicatment in another class.
I thought I was the only student experiencing this until I ask my fellow classmates, "Wouldn't it be nice if someone would come up with a solution to fixed this problem." Guess what? I was that student that finds the solution to the age-old question we have as students, "Can anyone help me pass this exam?"
Am I qualified to be your mentor? I will let you be the judge and make your own decision after reading this blog. Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I went to Ben L. Smith High School, Go Eagles!, in 2003. As you can tell, I was a serious studious student sometimes too serious. I took several honor and AP courses as a high school student. Fortunately, I have passed several AP courses such as AP Chemistry, and AP Psychology. Summer was real short then I was shipped off to college just down the street to UNC-Chapel Hill. The only reason why I went there was at the time I applied to colleges, I thought UNC will give me the best chance to go to Pharmacy School. This is not a Cinderella story with a happy ending. It was actually short-lived. I studied for three years and transferred to UNC-Greensboro. The decision was partially influence by then ex-girlfriend. Don't tell me, I know! Luckily, I was able to finish my undergraduate degree in 2009 with B.S. Chemistry with minor in Biochemistry.
Does the degree makes me more intelligent? Not really. What did I learn during those years? Not much. That is when I realized the time I spent and the stress I put myself through, was it really worth it? It is ironic how after you graduated from college, you have all these deep reflective thoughts coming to your mind. This is where my soul searching journey begins. I made my mission at that moment to help as much high school and college students to make their education path as easier than what I experienced.
In summary, I would like to take this opportunity to be your personal mentor for academic 2012-2013 school year. If you like me, that do not ask help for anything, maybe it is a guy thing, or you and school do not go together? Then if you would like to contact me you can simply reach me on Facebook or on Twitter where I will personally call you back. I hope to hear from you and have a great school year!
