WHAT IT’S ALL ABOUT
The Vietnam Teaching Program
The Vietnam Teaching Program is a start-to-finish placement service that transports you from career stress to teaching success. Taking care of everything from securing a job to settling into your new city, it allows you to focus on enhancing your resume, meeting amazing people and having an all-round awesome time—because that’s what it should be about, right? It helps you:
Secure a legal job
you know—the kind that earns you up to $1400 per month, comes with the right visa and won’t get you deported.
Bag a professional certification
that’ll give you the skills, knowledge and confidence you need to walk into the classroom with your head held high.
Make new friends
with people who, just like you, are adventurous, awesome and ready to embark on something new.
Gain skills and confidence
to set you apart and have you heading back home a more well-rounded professional ready to take the job market by storm.
Feel at home in a flash
and start making the most of your adventure from the day you enrol—say goodbye to pre-flight freakouts.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
Your placement
You’ll teach oral English to groups of around twenty students at a local private school for 80 hours per month. The school provides teaching materials, so you just need to pack bundles of energy and enthusiasm.
Your schedule
Most of your classes will take place during the late afternoon and evening on weekdays and during the daytime on weekends. You’ll get two days off each week, on certain weekdays.
Your students
You’ll work with a range of age groups and abilities, from beginners to intermediate learners aged between 3 and 17. As an after-school class, you’ll find most students want to be there, and their behavior reflects that.
Your salary
Your salary will depend on how many hours you work each month, reaching up to $1400 per month. But whatever your schedule is like, you can rest assured you’ll earn enough to live, explore and save.
