VUIHOC is one of the first online education platforms in Vietnam to cover all three core subjects for primary school students – Math, Vietnamese, and English – based on the sets of textbooks approved by the Ministry of Education and Training.

VUIHOC currently offers more than 150 courses, nearly 9,000 video lectures, and a repository of 240,000 quiz questions. Its teaching framework is built on a weekly basis, closely following the textbook curriculum. Two years after its birth, more than 100,000 parents across Vietnam have trusted VUIHOC as a tool to support their children's daily home learning.

“What set VUIHOC apart is their ability to develop an online educational product that won the attention of young students. In the company's next phase of growth, Do Ventures will support the application of AI technologies, such as recommendation engines or adaptive learning, to enhance personalisation in education,” said Vy Le, general partner of Do Ventures.

As VUIHOC means “fun learning” in Vietnamese, the founding team wants to create a delightful environment for students to build up learning passion at their earliest stages of life. VUIHOC's educators design learning materials based on a deep dive into the psychology of each age group, ensuring that every student will find matching content at their preference.

Video lectures are vividly presented through eye-catching animations and gamified exercises to keep students engaged and enable them to quickly assimilate knowledge. Questions related to the lectures will be answered instantaneously by teaching assistants via the online chat tool.

VUIHOC also provides live classes to augment teacher-student interaction. Live classes take place weekly on VUIHOC's mobile application under the guidance of a team of teachers who have not only pedagogical expertise but also online communication prowess. In the near future, VUIHOC will broaden its learning courses for high school students.
