Most Band 6–7 students aren't stuck because of vocabulary. They're stuck because their English still thinks in Vietnamese. It shows up in subtle ways — sentences that are technically correct, but don't land. Ideas that are clear, but don't flow. Answers that sound practiced, not persuasive. That's the gap I work on. After 8 years in the U.S., I've seen exactly where advanced learners lose points — and why. It's rarely vocabulary. It's structure, rhythm, and how ideas are delivered in real time.

Why most Vietnamese speakers get stuck
Ideas sound "translated," not natural
Sentences lack flow and rhythm
Answers feel correct — but not convincing
What we fix instead
Natural phrasing — how Americans actually speak
Speaking structure that scores higher
Real-time correction every session
