Once the valedictorian of Ho Chi Minh City's excellent students in French, twice the valedictorian of the April 30 Olympic Competition, third prize in the national excellent students in French..., it was not difficult for Lam Nguyen Bao to win a scholarship to the US from grade 12.
However, he admitted that at that time, his English level was not as expected, and even made him quite worried.
Fortunately, his solid foundation in French with its more complex grammar system helped the "late 8x" guy quickly catch up with English. During his time living and studying in the United States, he was even assigned to be a French teaching assistant.
Leaving everything behind to pursue the dream of improvingeducation
Many people may imagine Lam Nguyen Bao as a somewhat dry young intellectual, but in reality he is a dynamic and perceptive person. From his success in the fashion accessories business on the Yahoo! 360 platform, Nguyen Bao became the co-founder of a chain of men's fashion stores.
However, God still cleverly tests people. Although it achieved success in a short time, this startup model gradually fell into a deadlock and then collapsed completely due to the lack of a specific development strategy and some internal conflicts.
After that stumble, with a Bachelor of Commerce degree from RMIT University, Lam Nguyen Bao continued to try his hand in many fields. Notably, the places that the talented Vietnamese guy chose were all in the top of the world's successful business rankings such as Standard Chartered International Bank or Park Hyatt Saigon Hotel...
Thinking he would stop at one of the above "giants", one day Nguyen Bao suddenly decided to... give up everything to pursue a dream that, according to him, "was considered difficult to understand by many friends and colleagues" at that time.

"I want Vietnamese students to have the opportunity to truly access an international quality education that is completely suitable for the culture and financial capacity of the country," he said.
Thinking is doing, Lam Nguyen Bao put all his efforts into the Song Nguyen Education (SNE) project, where he devoted all his heart and mind to pursuing his dream. This is an educational model that not only aims to support students studying abroad, but also directly helps young people perfect their skills, develop their thinking, and prepare themselves to make effective decisions about their studies and careers, "closest" to each person's abilities and passions.
A model run by Gen Z and targeted at Gen Z
Starting a business has always been a difficult journey, and Nguyen Bao's "brainchild" is no exception, especially since he has chosen a path that does not focus on mass appeal.
Sharing with us, the young CEO said: apart from the foreign language center operating year-round, most of SNE's remaining educational activities are seasonal. In addition, most of Nguyen Bao's employees can work remotely. Thanks to that, with a team of less than 10 young people, each project and program can still operate flexibly and in rotation without having to expand the human resources. The model itself also significantly saves on space and office costs.

Thanks to the modern methods that are in line with the above trends, recently, Lam Nguyen Bao's "brainchild" is still "healthy", overcoming the "storm" that has sunk many businesses called Covid-19.
According to the young CEO, in recent days, the official issuance of Resolution 68-NQ/TW on private economic development has become a "cool breeze" for young start-up businesses.
"For me, what is expected is that Resolution 68 will contribute to removing administrative barriers such as licensing processes, tax policies or legal procedures, thereby helping businesses in general and especially education startups to operate more flexibly," said Mr. Lam Nguyen Bao.
It is known that SNE has provided services to more than 10 thousand students, owns dozens of modern educational products and more than 700 partner schools.

As one of tens of thousands of students at SNE, Nguyen Chi Mai, a former student of Le Hong Phong High School (Ho Chi Minh City), currently a student at Liberty University (USA), said: "The support, commitment and dedication of the teachers as well as the center's comprehensive and useful information helped me from the time I prepared my application until I adapted to a completely new environment."
Meanwhile, Nguyen Ngoc Diep, a former student of Nguyen Thuong Hien High School (Ho Chi Minh City), currently a student at the University of Wisconsin (USA), confided: "Through SNE's programs, I became more confident in communication, had a more open mind, dared to put all my efforts into pursuing my dream of studying abroad and finally succeeded."
