math performance in Vietnam — students arrive with strong math foundations

Vietnamese students often arrive with strong math skills — Vietnam consistently ranks among the top nations in international math assessments. The challenge isn't the math; it's the language. A student who can solve phương trình bậc hai (quadratic equation) may freeze when they see "solve for x" in English because they don't yet recognize that these are the same instruction.

Vietnamese also has a tonal system with 6 tones — slight pronunciation differences change meaning entirely. Kuliso's AI tutor speaks Vietnamese with proper tones and diacritical marks, so students hear and read the language correctly, not a rough approximation.

The goal: let Vietnamese students show what they actually know on English-language tests, rather than being held back by vocabulary they haven't yet learned.
