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.
