4. The Teaching Team at DOL English - The First Cognitive English Academy in Vietnam
DOL English - Đình Lực - The first Cognitive English Academy in Vietnam is a rising star with exceptional feedback. While it doesn't have a team of foreign teachers, DOL English is highly selective in its hiring process to ensure top-notch quality in preparing students for IELTS, TOEIC, GMAT, GRE, and SAT exams.
Mr. Lê Đình Lực, the founder of DOL, strongly believes: 'Teaching is not just about transmitting textbook knowledge, but about thinking creatively and developing more effective learning methods tailored to Vietnamese students.' Although not actively teaching, Mr. Lực focuses on training a dedicated team of skilled teachers who are passionate about education.
The teaching team at DOL English consists of exceptional individuals: top graduates, former students of prestigious schools like Lê Hồng Phong and PTNK, master's degree holders in language teaching, and university lecturers. They are also deeply committed, enthusiastic, and innovative in their teaching. Throughout the course, teachers closely monitor each student's progress and develop personalized strategies, ensuring that 95% of students achieve their target scores.
Apart from regular classes, students at DOL can schedule one-on-one consultations with teachers to discuss learning challenges and receive tailored advice. Additionally, DOL uses an AI-powered app to personalize learning paths and address individual needs.
With a stellar track record in English competitions and certifications, the teachers at DOL English have helped students on their journey to achieving their dream scores in IELTS and other prestigious English qualifications.
The greatest achievement of the DOL team is the creation and implementation of Linearthinking, a cognitive English methodology tailored for Vietnamese learners, helping them achieve impressive results.
Previously, many students thought that mastering English was just about memorizing vocabulary and grammar. But when Mr. Lực introduced the concept of Linearthinking, students realized how much more effective it could be. This exclusive method not only enhances students' cognitive skills but also helps them learn smarter, aligning with their individual needs. An interesting aspect of Linearthinking is that it's not just about linear progression (A -> B -> C -> D); it also incorporates various methods to improve all aspects of English learning.
Below are some videos about Linearthinking from DOL, feel free to watch and experience: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRy8TEE81Lcu7cu471jlggTbxGAuQro5_
In addition to the 'real' teachers, DOL is also proud of its virtual assistants, the AI-powered app system that adds a 'high-tech' edge to their teaching.
DOL English is a pioneering startup integrating technology into teaching and learning. The app system, which includes both learning management and practice tools, uses AI to provide students with more opportunities to practice beyond class hours. This helps create a better learning environment alongside classroom lessons.
Moreover, the success of DOL's IELTS Online course has proven that online learning can be as effective and immersive as in-person classes.
DOL English (IELTS Đình Lực) is the first Cognitive English Academy in Vietnam.
DOL leads the way in combining mathematical thinking, homegrown technology, and a passionate teaching team to make English learning for Vietnamese students more efficient, engaging, practical, and cost-effective.
In late 2023, DOL English was honored to receive an invitation from the Ministry of Education and Training to join the 'Meeting and Honoring Students Who Won Olympic and International Science and Technology Awards in 2023'. This further validates DOL English's exceptional training quality, which is why DOL is consistently recognized as one of the top IELTS/SAT preparation centers in Vietnam.

In addition to her offline classes, IELTS Tố Linh also offers online courses, providing a convenient option for those with busy work schedules but still keen on improving their English.

- Maintaining 80-90% of the quality of in-person classes.
- Providing one-on-one feedback similar to traditional classroom sessions.
