Evelyn Nguyen · Biology Tutor · Olmsted Falls, Ohio
Part of the Wiingy Tutor Spotlight Series – where we go beyond the profile page and introduce you to the real people behind your lessons.
Some tutors teach biology. Evelyn Nguyen practices it – every single day, in a hospital.
Based in Olmsted Falls, Ohio, Evelyn is a Doctor of Medicine, a violinist, and one of Wiingy’s Consistency Champion tutors. She graduated from Pham Ngoc Thach University of Medicine and is currently pursuing her internal medicine residency in the US – which means the biology she teaches isn’t abstract. It’s the same science she applies to real patients. Her students feel that difference immediately.
She sat down with us to talk about custom question banks, turning microbiology into cartoons, the high schooler who questioned the entire structure of medical education, and the bold promise she makes to every student who walks into her class.
Who is Evelyn Nguyen?
Evelyn specializes in AP Biology, AP Statistics, genetics, microbiology, human anatomy, and biotechnology, working with students from high school through college level. Her method is practice-based and deeply personalized: she builds custom question banks for each student, uses interactive 3D models, and turns even the driest topics into stories, videos, and cartoons – techniques she developed to survive her own medical school curriculum.
Outside of tutoring and residency, she’s a violinist who dreams of performing professionally at her home country’s musical institute. She describes herself as a bookworm who chose medicine over music. Both sides show up in how she teaches.
The interview
Beyond being a Wiingy tutor, who are you in real life?
“I’m a doctor of medicine – I graduated internationally and when I moved to the US, I continued with my internal medicine residency. At the same time, I love playing violin, so I’m also a violinist. Those are all the roles I juggle in my life.”
Take us back to your first Wiingy lesson – were you calm or in full “please don’t let the WiFi crash” panic mode?
“I didn’t feel panicked because I already had some online tutoring experience. I did need a bit of time to familiarise myself with the Wiingy format, but my first student was friendly and energising. It was a really good lesson.”
What’s the secret behind your consistency?
“My consistency stems from my interactions with students and the support from the Wiingy advisor team – they help me a lot with technical issues and guidance. But what’s most important is that my students love my teaching and improve their scores. That’s what keeps me energized.”
What’s one small moment that made you feel like, “This is why I teach”?
“I’ve loved teaching since high school – I loved chemistry and biology, and I always knew I wanted to be both a doctor and an educator. During medical school, when I helped my peers get good grades and guided my juniors in the hospital, I already knew I needed to contribute to teaching and education.”
The promise: Study with me, get an A
Most tutors set realistic expectations. Evelyn makes a guarantee.
“I don’t care if you want an A, B, or C – if you study with me, you’ll definitely get an A and above.”
That’s not a marketing line. It’s a teaching philosophy backed by results. Most of her students start with Bs and Cs. They finish with A+s. Her method – personalized question banks, practice-first lessons, and explanations that actually stick – is built specifically to make that outcome repeatable, not lucky.
What are your top tips for students who want to improve faster?
“Most of my students didn’t have the best beginning, but over time they improve – at least from a B to an A+ or a C to an A. The tip is: don’t pressure yourself. Understand what you love, what methods work best for you, not what works for everyone. Independent studying and autonomy are incredibly helpful for improvement.”
What’s your trick for making boring topics interesting?
“From my own experience in medical school, there were plenty of boring topics – especially in microbiology. So I find ways to make them interesting: I’ll make a video of it, turn it into a cartoon, or create a long story that links all the details together. That’s how I got through those concepts, and it’s how I teach them now.”
If your teaching journey was a movie, what would the title be?
“‘The Hunger Games.’ Every single day when I teach, my students give me a lot of challenges to go through – and after I get through them, I feel like the champion. Not because I won against them, but because we win together as partners.”
What kind of student were you – top scorer, last-minute procrastinator, or somewhere in between?
“I’m quite proud of myself – top scorer since high school through medical school, and even after I moved here. I’m quite ambitious when it comes to studying. I always try to get the highest score I can.”
On AI and learning
Evelyn uses AI openly and teaches her students to do the same – responsibly.
“In the era of AI, using it smartly and transparently is very helpful. I still depend on my own judgement a lot, but recently I’ve been using AI to create question banks for my students faster. My main method is practice-based, and AI helps me personalise those question banks based on each student’s material. But the explanations? Those are all me.”
On whether AI makes students smarter: “It depends on how students think about AI and how they apply it. Most of my students are smarter because I guide them on how to use AI effectively – not to become addicted to it or rely on it. I help them summarize key points, and I teach them how to create their own question banks so they can improve even after they stop studying with me.”
The story that says everything about her as a teacher
Every tutor has a student who stops them in their tracks. For Evelyn, it came from a high schooler with a very big question.
“One of my AP Biology students, she was in high school – asked me: ‘Why do doctors need to study premed and then medical school? Why can’t we just jump straight into medical school?’ She said all the concepts just repeat from high school to med school. It wasn’t an academic question, it was about the system. I needed extra time to give her a thoughtful answer.”
A high schooler questioning the architecture of medical education – mid-biology lesson. The fact that Evelyn gave it a thoughtful answer rather than brushing it off says everything about how seriously she takes every student in front of her.
