TEFL
TEFL stands for Teaching English as a Foreign language and so you will be teaching English language to people who don’t speak English as their first language. You will need a qualification to prove that you have been trained in this area.
What is an internationally recognised qualification?
An internationally recognised qualification should be at least 120 hours of in-classroom teaching (not online) with a minimum of 6 hours of observed teaching practice with real students who don’t speak English as their first language. It should also be accredited by an official body such as the local government or an educational board.
I offer the Australian government accredited CertIV TESOL which will get you a job working legally in Vietnam and all over the world through my partner course provider. The highlights of this course are guaranteed job placement, free accomodation for the duration of the course, a welcome meal and city tour on arrival.

Life in Vietnam
Vietnam is a country that is rich in culture, beauty and opportunity
With exquisite cuisine, breathtaking landscapes and charming cities. Vietnam has something for everyone. As Vietnam opens up to the rest of the world, its traditional culture is evolving in wonderful, fascinating ways. It is increasingly being recognized as South East Asia’s most desirable country to stay in.
Teaching English in Vietnam
Big salaries and tiny living costs put English teacher’s in a pretty desirable position. In fact Vietnam has recently ranked second in a worldwide survey measuring the disposable income for ex-pats living there. One hour’s teaching in Vietnam can earn around 500,000 Vietnamese Dong (VND). A glass of fresh beer (bia hoi), costs 5000 VND. You can do the maths.
Life in Vietnam
Vietnam has so much to offer. Breathtaking natural beauty can be found from North to South, from the beautiful mountain ranges of Ha Giang and Sapa, littered with emerald green rice paddies, all the way down to the golden tree lined beaches of Nha Trang and Hoi An. The people are warm, fun loving and welcoming, the food is unrivalled, and the culture is rich in history, charm and beauty.
The Food
A recent survey found that 87% of ex-pats living in Vietnam would recommend the food, that is much higher than the global average. In fact Vietnam’s food ranks third in the world amongst foreigners living abroad. The Vietnamese are truly masters of taste combinations, the most common being the irresistible mix of lime, chilli and garlic which gives life to so many of their meals.
Social Life
Vietnamese people are incredibly sociable and welcoming. It won’t be long after arriving that a Vietnamese person will invite you to their home for dinner, where you will probably be treated like royalty. Vietnam was recently ranked the fourth best country in the world for ex-pat social life and the number one destination in the world for making friends.

Georgie Snape
Teaching Specialist – All things Vietnam!
Moving to Vietnam was one of the scariest and most incredible experiences of my life. It has changed who I am and what I want to do with my life forever, in the best way possible. I went from genuinely not wanting to go out on my own and vowing to never ride a motorbike, to offering teacher training, supporting new ex-pats and doing a three month motorbike trip from Hanoi all the way to Ho Chi Minh, the Mekong Delta and Phu Quoc Island!
BEST EXPERIENCE EVER.
I graduated with a degree in Community Drama (I’ve never been one for the 9-5 office job) and soon after passed the CELTA course with a Pass A. Here’s some stats for you. For every ten people who take the CELTA, it’s likely that eight will get a Pass C, two will get a Pass B and none will get a Pass A. You have to be a damn good teacher.
I have been travelling the world and teaching English since 2013 and have lived and taught in the UK, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia and Australia with over six years of experience. The majority of my teaching time was spent in Hanoi, Vietnam where I taught English for over two years in language centres, private and public schools, private classes and online. I taught all ages from 3-17 years and adults. I worked for one of the biggest and most recognised language centres in Vietnam, and they are now one of Teacher’s Friend Vietnam’s partner schools. Teacher’s Friend is also partnered with other major language centres across Vietnam, who also have links to the public schools, the British Council and well-recognised universities.
So are you ready to move to the other side of the world to teach the crazy English language to eager Vietnamese students, who are all ready to be your friend, shower you with affection and show you the magic of Vietnam?
