You'll work with local Vietnamese children leading lessons at community centres and schools. Placements can be arranged all year round and no previous experience is needed to apply. These teaching programs in Vietnam are really great if you are looking to live and work with local people and have more than just a holiday. They are perfect if you are looking to take a gap year and gain hands on work experience or if you are looking to take a vacation in South-East Asia and would like to help communities.

You might be working at a primary or middle school helping children learn English and improve their language skills. These placements are a lot of fun and a great way to meet people from all over the world, lots of nationalities volunteer on these types of programs every year. As well as leading English lessons you might be assisting local teachers and getting involved with other activities like sports, music or drama. You don't need any previous experience and knowledge of the Vietnamese language is not necessary although you might pick up local phrases when working with the children.

Vietnam is an amazing destination and Saigon and Hanoi are fascinating cities to live in, and explore. They are both very safe and local people are very open and welcoming to foreigners. Sometimes you might even get to lead your own classes or just generally help local teachers with the daily routine. Some days might be tiring but you'll get plently of time off to relax and enjoy being based in this country. If you choose to teach in Hanoi we recommend a trip to Sapa and Ha Long Bay which are both spectacular.

If you have any previous experience of teaching this is welcomed, sometimes you might be helping children improve their conversational English so you will need to be patient and understanding. Sometimes lessons can be really fun like singing songs or joining art classes. If this sounds appealing to you then request more information today. To apply to be a teacher in Vietnam you will need to be aged 17 and over and have an open and positive attitude to working abroad. Accommodation and transport is provided.
