Ho Chi Minh City  ·  Launching Fall 2026

Rise. Speak. Lead.

You know English. But speaking with confidence is a different skill. MaiXcel is launching small-group workshops in Ho Chi Minh City for people who are ready to close that gap.

Environment

You know English.
So why go blank?

A foreigner stops you on the street and asks for directions. Your manager introduces a new colleague from abroad. A tourist sits next to you and smiles. You know English — you've studied it for years. But in that moment, the words disappear.

💬
The freezeYou know the words. You've studied the grammar. But the moment a real conversation starts — in English — your mind goes quiet.
🌍
More than just wordsKnowing what to say is only part of it. Tone, rhythm, cultural context — these are what make English actually land in the real world.
📚
School taught grammar. Not confidence.Years of study prepared you to pass tests — not to speak up, hold a conversation, or be heard the way you deserve.

01 — Founder Advantage
Taught by Someone Who Lived It.
35+ years in the US — from navigating American high school and college as a Vietnamese immigrant, to building a career across 20+ years of American corporate leadership. Mai knows what it takes to find your voice, earn your place, and be heard in an environment that wasn't built for you. That journey is built into everything MaiXcel teaches.
02 — Outcomes
Results You Can Measure.
Success is measured in speaking confidence, pronunciation improvement, and real-world communication ability — not just test scores or enrollment numbers. Outcomes over volume. Always.

“Be the light. Go out and be the light for someone.”

The principle behind MaiXcel

Mai
Muramoto

Mai did not build MaiXcel from a textbook. She built it from 35 years in the United States after arriving as a Vietnamese immigrant, mastering a new language, and building a career from the ground up.

Over more than two decades, she rose into Director-level and VP-caliber leadership roles at a $26B Fortune 500 company. She led major M&A integrations across global teams, directed enterprise-wide transformation initiatives in partnership with C-suite leaders, and learned firsthand what it takes to communicate clearly, collaborate across all levels of an organization, and earn credibility, trust, and respect in a language that was not always her first.

Along the way, she has successfully mentored many professionals through career pivots and high-stakes transitions. MaiXcel is the program she wishes had existed when she was starting out.
