How we got here

A flat tyre & a global vision

Eight chapters that shaped Better Me English — from a broken bike to a best man speech.

Chapter 01
💡

The spark — an IDP workshop

A flat tyre on the way there, a tumble from a bike on the way back. Through those mishaps at an IDP study abroad workshop, a vision was born — a school to help Vietnamese people communicate with confidence and unlock the world through English.

01
Chapter 02
🇦🇷

Lucas from Argentina — the first global bridge

A chance encounter with Lucas, an Argentinian traveller in Ho Chi Minh City, became our first real foreign friendship. It proved something powerful: English is not just a language — it's a door to people you would never otherwise meet.

02
Chapter 03
🎲

Joel from Australia — Catan & academic English

Joel introduced us to the board game Catan and shared his deep knowledge of academic English. His lived experience reinforced our commitment: every learner deserves to become a confident global communicator.

03
Chapter 04
🇵🇭

"Better Me, Better Be" — Chris goes to the Philippines

In March 2024, the phone rang. It was Chris — one of our very first students — calling to share that his company had just sent him on a month-long professional training in the Philippines. That call confirmed our mission opens real doors.

04
Chapter 05
💍

Cameron — from language exchange to best man

We met Cameron as a language-exchange partner — him learning Vietnamese, us practising English. What started as casual conversation grew into a deep friendship. Nearly two years later, Thang stood beside Cameron as his best man at his wedding.

05
Chapter 06
🍁

Tracy & Sean join — the team finds its voice

From Canada, Tracy brought seven years of cross-cultural experience. Sean, a native Canadian speaker and office manager, brought authentic language and a love of Vietnamese culture. Together they completed our core teaching team.

06
Chapter 07
🎓

Thu & Ngoc join — recruited by Huyen

As the school grew, Huyen recognised the need for dedicated teaching and curriculum talent. She brought in Thu Nguyen as teacher and Ngoc Vuong as curriculum developer — both RMIT graduates, both passionate about shaping learners' futures.

07
Chapter 08
🇫🇷

Clémence from France — a truly global volunteer

Clémence, a volunteer from France, walked through our doors and reminded us that Better Me English is not just a bridge between Vietnam and the English-speaking world — it is a bridge between Vietnam and the entire globe.
