Ky Tran
Ky Tran is a University of Washington alum with a BA in Applied Linguistics, an MA in TESOL, and an M.Ed. in Curriculum & Instruction. A Vietnamese international student who has called the U.S. home for eleven years, Ky designed the "Petite Programmers" ESL-through-Scratch course as an M.Ed. thesis to make English learning truly interest-driven.
For two years, Ky served as Student Coordinator for UW Continuum College's International Language Exchange Program, supporting peers from Korea, Japan, and Vietnam. Since 2024, they've been hosting small cohorts of short-term exchange students—arranging shared meals and Seattle explorations to ensure nonstop English practice.
