Linh Ho competed in one of her first national innovation pitch competitions as a high school student in Vietnam. That first immersive taste of entrepreneurial success led her to train other young Vietnamese about organization management and how to exchange and propose new project ideas.
After graduating from a high school for gifted students, she arrived at the University of South Florida committed to continuing her academic excellence. She has maintained a perfect 4.0 GPA while spending hours helping others find their success.
A sophomore double majoring in entrepreneurship and econometrics and quantitative economics, she has always had the heart for helping and inspiring others.
Since 2023, Ho has helped peers grasp complex mathematical concepts as a business calculus tutor in the SMART Lab in the Academic Success Center. To date, she has assisted over 3,400 students who look to her to break down challenging material into digestible components with a focus on real-world applications.
Being a business calculus tutor is rewarding because not only is she helping students understand and appreciate calculus, but she is also learning to refine her communication and interpersonal skills while building leadership skills along the way.
She speaks three languages — English, Vietnamese and Russian.
Ho has also earned praise in the classroom. She is admired for her ability to not shy away from actively engaging in academic discussions in a large lecture class.
Before she graduates in 2026, she intends to build on these accomplishments and continue to make a positive impact at USF and beyond.
