Tuan Ho Phan

I've been teaching at Lawndale since 2017. I graduated valedictorian from Lawndale in 2012, then got my double bachelor's degrees in Economics and Psychology at UCLA, and later my masters in education from UCLA. I love teaching all types of Social Studies classes but specifically Psychology and Ethics studies as well as AVID now. I hope my students come back to the community like I did and contribute in their own way.
