On November 16th, at the Paddington Hotel in Ha Long, PISA Education and Communication Consulting Joint Stock Company, the managing entity of the PISA IELTS system, held an event celebrating its 10th anniversary with the theme "TOUCH - 10 Years of Building a Journey". PISA was honored by two international organizations, IDP Education and the British Council, as the best partner in Quang Ninh, and a top partner nationwide and in Southeast Asia.
Established in 2015, PISA Education and Communication Consulting Joint Stock Company is a pioneer in Quang Ninh province in training for international English certificates (IELTS, KET, PET, SAT, PTE) with a systematic curriculum and teaching methods designed specifically for learners, instead of purchasing licensed programs from foreign organizations and conducting mass training.
Guided by the Influenced Teaching Method (ITM) philosophy, throughout its 10 years of development and growth, Director Pham Hoang Tam Tinh and his team have consistently maintained small class sizes (under 10 students) or one-on-one classes to enhance mentoring, discipline, and bonding between teachers and students. This allows them to understand and guide learning methods tailored to each student's strengths and weaknesses, creating a connected learning environment where each student can find their own motivation and passion for learning.
Beyond just English language training, PISA is always focused on developing a mindset of "Respecting Identity - Ready for Integration" so that young people have a strong foundation and can proactively develop themselves sustainably in the digital age.
From a small learning space in Bach Long alley (Ha Long) to its current system of 4 campuses in Monbay, Bai Chay, Cam Pha and Uong Bi, PISA has accompanied more than 4,000 students in conquering IELTS and other international certificates. Ten years is also a story of growth for thousands of students in Quang Ninh, the silent efforts of the teaching staff and employees, and the trust of parents.
The 10th anniversary celebration of PISA Education and Communication Consulting Joint Stock Company, themed “TOUCH - 10 Years of Building a Journey,” consisted of three main parts: a Gratitude Ceremony, Booths & Talkshow, and a Music Gala, attracting over 300 students, parents , and international education partners.
At the anniversary celebration, PISA was awarded the title of Best Partner in Southeast Asia 2025 by IDP Education, and was also honored as the Leading Language Center 2025 by the British Council . IDP Education and the British Council are two prestigious international organizations with many influential activities globally. They also jointly own the IELTS test system – the most reputable and widely used English proficiency assessment certificate in the world, with over 2 million test-takers in 135 countries each year.
In addition, the PISA team also received congratulations from educational management units, trade unions, and many partner schools, language centers, and educational organizations both domestically and internationally.
At the event, the PISA leadership announced its Development Strategy for the period 2025-2030, focusing on expanding the system, promoting digital transformation, developing a new generation of teachers, and enhancing the student experience through impactful education (ITM).
On the same day, the "Memory Booth" activity recreated PISA's 10-year journey through old photos, handwritten letters, mementos, and stories from teachers and students. This attracted many parents and students who have studied or are currently studying at PISA, giving them the feeling of "going back to the early days."
A highlight of the community-connecting efforts is the talk show "Fear of Being Different - Touching to Be Yourself," which offers honest sharing from management representatives, PISA alumni, and guests to provide a comprehensive perspective on the topic of self-positioning and development for young people in modern society who are struggling to find "the right path among countless options."
The overarching message of the talk show emphasizes "Understanding yourself, daring to be different, and growing through your own personal values, making a positive contribution to your own development and society," which is also the spirit of the ITM method.
The commemorative program concluded with an evening music gala, where the 10-year journey was recreated through videos, artistic performances by teachers, staff, students, and guests, and the band Da LAB, creating a youthful, vibrant, and energetic atmosphere. Music and art are also important connecting points in the PISA educational environment, a point of "touch" for the entire team and students.
The series of activities in the event "TOUCH - 10 Years of Building a Journey" is a significant milestone, a source of gratitude and pride for an educational brand originating from Quang Ninh that has conquered leading global organizations. It also affirms a new chapter for PISA, continuing its unwavering pursuit of humanistic education, impactful education, and further spreading its values to the community.
