Thu-Anh Nguyen joined Renbrook in 2024 as a Grade 5 Teacher and Student Council Advisor. She teaches Math and Humanities, guiding students through an important year of academic growth and increased independence. Her goal is to create a classroom environment where students feel empowered to think deeply, ask questions, and take ownership of their learning.

She believes that meaningful learning happens when students feel supported, challenged, and heard.
In addition to her classroom teaching, Thu-Anh serves as Student Council Advisor, helping students develop leadership skills and a sense of civic responsibility. Through both academics and student leadership, she works to nurture confident learners who are prepared to contribute positively to their community.
