Lai Xuan

I’m Lai Xuan (Sue Sue), from Vietnam. I have 8 years of experience teaching children aged 3-15 using CLIL and Cambridge Assessment methods, and 5 years of experience teaching Jolly Phonics and Jolly Grammar to children aged 4-9 and adults. I hold a TESOL certification and a Business Administration qualification. Currently, I own several branches of Light Up English, offering Jolly Phonics, Jolly Grammar, CLIL, pre-IELTS courses, and a global system of online classes.

My journey with English hasn’t been easy, especially since it’s my second language and I have dyslexia. I struggled not only with English but also with Vietnamese, often feeling like I was climbing a steep hill. My understanding of words was poor, and I kept wondering why English couldn’t be taught the same way we learn Vietnamese. While searching for a more effective method, I discovered Jolly Phonics, and it completely transformed my learning. I saw huge improvements in my pronunciation and spelling of new vocabulary.

I began using Jolly Phonics with my students, and the results were remarkable. In Vietnam, many students still face the same challenges I did, as we often rely on outdated whole-word memorization techniques for vocabulary learning. But I believe Jolly Phonics can change that. It lays a strong foundation for reading and writing, helping students not only with English but also in becoming more independent learners.
