Questions and Answers

Day 1

Getting there

On arrival, you’ll be met by our in-country team with all the other interns. At the end of the one week orientation you’ll travel by bus, train or flight to your placement location with your fellow interns.
Day 2-14

Orientation

Full week-long orientation upon arrival and you will quarantine for fourteen days, according to current Covid-19 requirements.
Day 14-135

Your teaching experience

Master the local greetings, get familiarized with the customs (and the major no no’s), practice your TEFL skills, make new friends, and eat. A lot! It’s time to start your English teaching job in Vietnam at a private language school, private primary/high school, or a government school. Past interns have been placed in cities all over the map! Keep in mind that Vietnamese schools vary significantly, with urban institutions having up to thousands of students while regional primary schools hosting fewer than 100. You can expect to teach conversational English for ~35 hours weekly. That breaks down to 3-4 lessons daily, 5-6 days a week for ~20 hours of active teaching. That leaves you plenty of time to mastermind your next fave backup lesson!
Day 135

After your internship

Congratulations, you did it! Make sure to celebrate this achievement. It’s time to decide if you’d like to see more of Vietnam, traveling or teaching (or both). You might decide to extend your stay in Vietnam and teach for longer by renewing your contract. The possibilities are endless for you now as a confident and experienced TEFL teacher.

Laura Hillard
I chose Southeast Asia because I wanted to experience a brand new culture and Vietnam because I saw so many beautiful pictures of the beaches, cities and countryside. What’s not to love! If you’re thinking about doing an internship my advice would be to just go for it. If you’re thinking about it, just do it! You won’t regret it and you’ll have the adventure of a lifetime!

Will Davies
It doesn’t surprise me that Vietnam is ranked as the fifth happiest country in the world. The locals are always smiling, and you can augment these smiles by learning some of their language. I cannot recommend the Vietnam internship enough. Whether you want a career break, a fresh environment, or you’re just feeling adventurous, it is the most rewarding experience you could ask for.

    Food

    Pho-get about phở for two seconds & instead try bun bo hue. It's vermicelli noodles are thicker, the lemongrass flavor stronger, & the toppings heartier. Yum!
