Overcoming the Biggest Challenge English Learners Face in Vietnam

Many learners in Vietnam - both children and adults - feel frustrated after years of studying English in school but still struggle to speak confidently. They often know grammar rules, can read reasonably well, and can complete exercises in class, yet:

• They freeze when speaking to foreigners

• They struggle with pronunciation and intonation

• They avoid speaking because they’re afraid of making mistakes

• They lack confidence using English in real conversations

• Adults feel unprepared for workplace communication, meetings or emails

This is not because Vietnamese learners are incapable. The real issue is that most traditional English classes focus heavily on reading, writing, and memorisation - not real conversation, confidence-building, or natural English usage.

That’s why many students in Ho Chi Minh City turn to private lessons: to finally build the confidence, fluency, and practical language skills they can’t get in large, crowded classrooms.

Imagine learning English in a warm, supportive environment where you can speak freely, ask questions, and learn at your own pace - without pressure or judgement.

My approach is based on:

• Engaging conversation practice

• Clear pronunciation and phonics training

• Practical English for real situation

• Confidence-building techniques

• Flexible online

• Personalised lesson plans

• Encouraging feedback

• A bilingual perspective (English + French if necessary)

Whether your goal is everyday communication, school improvement, or professional business English, my lessons are designed to help you progress quickly and confidently.

Why My Background Matters for You

Because I’ve taught in centres, private schools, and corporate training environments, I understand:

• The learning challenges children and teens face in Vietnamese schools

• The confidence issues adults experience in business settings

• The pronunciation difficulties Vietnamese learners commonly struggle with

• The cultural needs of local learners

• How to build strong, personalised learning pathways

This makes my lessons effective, friendly, and deeply relevant to your goals - whether you’re 6 or 60.

Because I’ve taught hundreds of learners in Vietnam, I understand exactly where they struggle — and how to help them improve.

Common challenges I help students overcome:

• Pronouncing final consonants
• Stress and intonation
• Speaking too quietly or too slowly
• Translating from Vietnamese instead of thinking in English
• Fear of speaking in front of others
• Over-reliance on grammar rules
• Lack of real conversation practice

My teaching style focuses strongly on:

✔ Confidence
✔ Clarity
✔ Natural speaking
✔ Understanding
✔ Fun, interactive practice

My lessons are:

• Friendly
• Encouraging
• Supportive
• Non-judgmental
• Enjoyable
• Confidence-building

I believe the best learning happens when:

✨ You feel safe
✨ You feel supported
✨ You feel capable
✨ You enjoy the process

This is what I bring to every class — whether with children, teenagers, or business professionals.
