About Us
HISTORY of the FOUNDING of HT LEARNING CENTER
In 1987, when Dr. Kris Nhan Truong was a sociology and premed
student at Harvard College, she founded and directed a tutoring
program for refugee children living in Boston, Massachusetts. The
tutoring program, which she named, BRYE, is still in operation today
serving up to 90 children (see: http://www.communityservice.harvard.
edu/ and http://www.hcs.harvard.edu/~brye/). Upon graduating with
Honors from Harvard, she volunteered to work in a Vietnamese
refugee camp in the Philippines for one year, teaching English and
interviewing for the United Nations High Commissioner for
Refugees. She continued her passion for teaching working as a
teacher’s assistant and instructor while she was attending Johns
Hopkins University, School for Public Health, for her doctoral degree
between 1994-1999. After spending more than 17 years living on the
East Coast, she moved back to Southern California, where she had
attended elementary school. Dr. Truong taught statistics to
freshmen, and epidemiology in the Masters of Public Health program
at California State University Fullerton, where she was offered a
tenured faculty position in 2006. Due to her enthusiasm and passion
to help students excel in school, and experience in teaching and
tutoring students for most of her adult life, she founded her second
learning center, The HT Learning Center (HTLC), this time on the
West Coast. There are two centers, one located in Westminster and
one in Garden Grove, CA.
