Our people

Welcome to Dong Tran – Stack Testing

Having studied and worked in both the US and overseas, I understand the experience of an international student preparing to study abroad. I have many years of experience working in international initiatives at ASU as well as in managing international education programs for the US government. I am a second-generation ASU graduate and I take pride in using my knowledge and experience to ensure that students and parents are able to make an informed decision to study at Arizona State University

I have extensive experience in the US education industry and have worked in student recruitment and consultancy for a US educational organization for 4 years. My passion is to help students achieve their dreams of studying in the USA and see them succeed at university and beyond.

A journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step, and I have derived great joy in walking the distance with students and parents, providing them with the information required for their higher education journey.  Parents and students have a lot of questions to ask, and I guide them through each step while making sure they feel confident about their choice.

My role at Kaplan includes helping both students and UK-based agents to find the most suitable course at University. Being an international student myself when I came to the UK, I understand how challenging  studying abroad can be. I understand how important it is for students to receive the right support and advice while taking this big step in their life.  I feel that I am well positioned to understand the needs of international students, and I’m  happy to share this experience when speaking to students, either in English or Arabic.

I guide them through the application process and obtaining a visa, and give them all the support they need as they are admitted to their programme – one that will open up incredible new opportunities for them.

One of the biggest pleasures of my work is seeing how happy students are when they reach a milestone in their educational journey – whether it’s being accepted onto a course, or progressing to university.

During the students’ time at the College, it’s very rewarding for me to guide them in developing both academically and as people. They really mature as individuals by the time they progress to university, and I truly enjoy helping them on that path.

I enjoy many aspects of teaching at the College, particularly working with a diverse group of students from many different backgrounds and cultures. It’s a privilege to help encourage and draw out their potential, and support them on their journey towards their future careers.

The College’s close relationship with the University of Glasgow creates excellent opportunities for students.
