It’s good to know all these mistakes. We met a bunch of English teachers from South Africa in da nang. They seemed happy and had their own kick ass flat right downtown. Looks like da nang is a good place for teaching English then!

Hi Christine. I definitely recommend doing a teaching course! A TEFL is an excellent start but if you want to go the whole hog for a month, there is the option of a CELTA too. Personally, as you have no experience teaching, I’d start with the TEFL first as it is a) cheaper and b) easier. Then, once you really know that you love teaching, go for the CELTA to fine tune your skills! I totally agree that you have a lot to share and teaching English to live and work abroad is going to be an amazing experience for you :D Good luck Christine and feel free to ask more questions if you need to!

Great Blog , good insight into Do’s & Don’ts on your experience in Vietnam.

I have NO experience in teaching , I’m willing to do a Teaching Certificate course in Queensland this year, what would you recommend.??

I’m still working FT CSR administration roles, I’m over 60 years old, considering retiring in Vietnam & Bali maybe in year . I’m willing to do further training to upskill my knowledge base so I can support my living costs , also get to know the locals. I feel I have a great deal of working experience to share with people overseas.

Look forward to hearing from you

Warm Regards
Christine

Hey Renee,

Alex here from Ninja Teacher! We have over 30 people per month coming through our Vietnam program currently and we take our job guarantee very seriously. We’d hate to see anyone land up in job that doesn’t pay the teacher so we work really hard to connect you with great schools after you’ve completed the training!

Hope you have a great experience in Vietnam whether you choose to come through us or not. :)

Hi Renee. I’m afraid I haven’t worked with Ninja Teacher before. I believe and trust in MyTEFL personally. I hope you do find the information you’re looking for!

I am considering using Ninja Teacher tefl program to teach in Vietnam but it is kinda pricey and I don’t want to be scammed by them. Especially since I will be going to the country to do the program and I have to do a deposit of I think $420. If you know anything about them that would be really helpful.

Hi Johan. I do recommend getting a TEFL certificate. Even if your English is great, even native speakers can not be the best teachers if they don’t know HOW to teach. There are so many techniques and skills you can learn by studying ESL, that will make your job easier and your students’ learning sky rocket! Regardless, there are plenty of opportunities to teach English in Southeast Asia and I know that if you go there, you’ll easily be able to find an opportunity. Once you land, ask around and you’ll be connected within no time.

there teaching English.I am a non native speaker and i do not have a tefl certificate.However
i think my English is good enough to teach english to start with.And ofcourse iam willing to
get this required certificate along the way,but when i arrive in SEA i want to start somewhere.
Could somebody give me some tips.I would like to hear that.
I am Johan 53 years old and i am Dutch.

Kind Regards JP
