DOL English is Vietnam's first Thinking English Academy. DOL exclusively offers courses for IELTS, TOEIC, SAT, GMAT, and GRE with the LinearThinking method, helping students rapidly boost their scores while maximizing their time, energy, and financial resources.
After over 7 years in operation, DOL English has become a standout name, ranking among the top centers for English certification preparation in Vietnam. But what makes this academy so loved by students, parents, and the media?
LinearThinking - The English Learning Method for Vietnamese Speakers
At first, I thought learning English was just about memorizing words and grammar. But that's not the case. When Mr. Lực, the founder of DOL, introduced the concept of LinearThinking, it opened my eyes to a new way of learning English. I realized how the influence of Vietnamese on English slows down Vietnamese learners and how simply changing your thinking approach is more effective than just memorizing more vocabulary. Below are some videos on LinearThinking by DOL, check them out: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRy8TEE81Lcu7cu471jlggTbxGAuQro5_
Other Distinctive Features:
- LINEARTHINKING METHOD
- Exceptional Teachers: DOL’s teachers boast impressive credentials, including top graduates from renowned universities and former lecturers from prestigious institutions. However, what truly sets them apart is their passion and creativity in teaching. This dedication drives the outstanding achievements of DOL students, helping them achieve dream IELTS scores.

Their learning management and practice apps use AI to allow students to practice IELTS online tests outside of class, providing a better learning environment alongside in-class lessons. DOL’s Online IELTS program has proven successful, offering an online learning experience as effective as traditional face-to-face classes. https://www.dolenglish.vn/nen-tang-cong-nghe
