Our partner was founded by a group of educators who have diverse experiences in education in Vietnam, all the way from Kindergarten to high school. They believe that experience is the biggest factor for change and growth. As a team of educators with a network of professionals from around the world, they want to help create a path for everyone who is in search of an adventurous teaching career.
They believe that traveling and teaching in Vietnam is one of the best ways one can make a change in the world, discover your true passion, and develop your untapped potential because everyone has the power to make a difference in life!
Vietnam has in recent years become another exceptionally popular destination for travellers to East Asia, due not only to its sub-tropical beauty, cultures and numerous attractions but also thanks to the fact that it offers both low cost living and extraordinary sightseeing opportunities. Travel and accommodation are inexpensive, and beer and food are arguably cheaper than anywhere else in Southeast Asia.
Stunning Ha Long Bay with its unique limestone islands is one of Vietnam’s most famous attractions and alone worth choosing Vietnam as a teaching location, but it has plenty of competition from Vietnam’s beaches on the South China Sea coast, as well as truly stunningly beautiful countryside full of marvels, lush terraces and endless rice paddies, vibrant towns and villages – complete with friendly villagers in traditional dress.
Starting to teach English in a foreign country like Vietnam, requires you to plan and handle many things such as finding a trusted organization to work for, experiencing culture shock, searching for accommodations, applying for work permit, creating lesson plan, making new friends, and many other logistics. Our partner will help you make your Teaching Internship in Vietnam the most effective and hassle-free experience because we take care of all that logistics for you. You don’t have to worry about how things work in Vietnam. Everything from welcoming you at the airport, arranging free housing, organising your teaching placement and in-country travel are all well prepared for you. You will receive support to adapt to Vietnamese culture through structured orientation in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh city.
Our partner will provide training to help you get a heads up in your teaching career and to help you develop yourself as a professional teacher. You will learn from a community of professional educators who are committed to education in Vietnam and you will gain valuable teaching experience for a full-time teaching career in the future: Many schools in Vietnam now require practical teaching experiences for English native teachers.
Your responsibilities:
- Teach English up to 20 hours per week

Orientation week
Our partner will help you prepare before you start teaching at your new school through online orientation before arrival, combined with a two-day onsite orientation upon arrival. Orientation will take place in Hanoi or in Ho Chi Minh depending where your teaching placement is. You and other fellow interns will participate in a variety of interactive activities during orientation.
Teaching placement
Our partner will notify you of your teaching placement before you travel to Vietnam. Once in Vietnam, they will arrange the transportation for you from Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh city to your teaching placement. They also work with the schools to make sure everything is arranged for you including your teaching contract, free housing during the time teaching there, visa, work permit, teaching materials, etc.
Free housing
Our partner works with your placement school to arrange the free housing for you during the internship. Interns will have private furnished rooms equipped with modern facilities and Internet.

Course Aims
Our 150-hour online TEFL course gives a full introduction to the world of Teaching English as a Foreign Language. Once the course is completed, the learner will have developed a competent working knowledge of English grammar and a variety of teaching skills and techniques that will assist each student to present interesting, relevant and well-constructed lessons in the EFL classroom.
Course Content
The 150-hour online TEFL course covers the teaching of English in all essential aspects. One part of the course focuses on the world of TEFL which covers teachers, learners and essential elements of the language such as teaching approaches, methodologies and lexicon. Another part deals with subjects related to teaching competences that are essential in the EFL classroom; these include the four skills (writing, speaking, listening and reading), classroom management, lesson planning and grammar, for instance, sentence structure, parts of speech, the tense system among others. The final part of the course is based on language teaching skills; these cover the main areas of classroom discipline, classroom dynamics, phonology and effective evaluation techniques on how to assess the progress of EFL students.
These subject areas are divided into twelve separate modules that are designed to gradually develop and achieve teaching knowledge. Due to its design, each learner will find that the course is created to comfortably work through the program at his or her own pace without the learner being overwhelmed with too much information.
