living there can be a great opportunity, just be careful to respect the people there. teachers get paid a very high wage compared to locals in the country, so it is easy to come across as overpaid spoiled children. respect the country and the privileges you will have
So true man…
A new location with new experiences would definitely be my reason for moving to Vietnam and learning to become an English teacher. Through your videos, you've shown many views and experiences that would potentially draw anyone curious about Vietnam to want to travel there. I hope to someday.
Thanks Alex for great material. I am in a rut in the USA and tired of ridiculous taxes and state of division here. I plan on visiting because of you in February. Hopefully becoming you student within the next 12 months.
That's exciting!
Good job Alex! You're doing great! I would like to know more about teaching job in Vietnam. I already have my TEFL certificate. I'm in Africa
Me too, I have the same certificate
Alex! I have been following your Channel and Ninja Teacher for some time now! I am not only impressed but blown away how modern Vietnam is becoming in such a short time span! Even though I am starting my English teaching journey in Korea, I plan on visiting Vietnam one day and hope to have an opportunity to meet with your team on the ground.
OH MY GOD I went to ASU WITH MATTALYN!! I have been looking to mix things up this year and watched a few of your videos and out of nowhere it's mattalyn!! WHOAAA is that a sign
I've never really used TH-cam and when I do pow a familiar face across the world. Hope she's doing well. Our program has me a bit burnt out too....
Dang doxxing the woman! She probably is there because she fudged her life back home. That's the usual Vietnam expat experience. You should edit your comment
Small world! I'll mention you left a comment when I see her next. :)
Sounds obvious but drink a load of water here, I didnt at first and it affected my teaching performance and did loads of stupid forgetful things outside of work. The weather is so dehydrating so drink loads of water forget too much coffee or alcohol in the day you will feel like shit .
Hi ninja, I like your videos. I'm in ho chi minh now. Finding a English teaching job. Can you please help me?
Can you please tell me which ATM booth is best to withdraw cash by card???
I really enjoy your content. Another vlog said that you can pick extra jobs on the weekends? Is this true? Also are there many barriers for women older than 55but younger than 65 working in Vietnam???
You can work multiple jobs in Vietnam so long as you have the correct paperwork to do so. Unfortunately, the retirement age in Vietnam is 55 for women, which means it can be more challenging as a foreigner to secure work around or above that age.
Are there language centers that have the teaching cirriculum already made? Or are all language centers the same where you prepare the lesson planning?
The overall curriculum is always set but you’ll typically need to plan each lesson yourself (although most centers give you lots of resources to do so).
My son is graduation from Grade 12 in Alberta Canada, would he be a candidate for getting his certification with you?
Hi! I just retired as a principal in Texas with a Masters Degree in History. I would like to work as a teacher in Da Nang. Possible?
I'm 72 and have a BA and TEfl. Is there a mandatory retirement age requirement?
I am very interested in teaching in Da Nang. I have a college degree and am from California. What resources would you recommend using to acquire a TEFL certification that is accepted by Vietnamese schools? Thanks!
It’s extremely difficult to get a job in Đà Nẵng, especially as a new teacher. See my video “ Why I'm Moving Back To Saigon & Why YOU Should Consider Moving Here Too!” for more details. We offer TEFL courses at ninjateacher.com
You inspire me!..
to make a TH-cam channel about Vietnam that is interesting
French teachers are in demand too ?? Thanks
I have completed my Master's in English in India and am exploring opportunities to teach English. Could you please provide insights into the demand for English professors in Vietnam?
Another observation if you are a really big guy or like an athlete you will lose a shit tonne of weight on local food 😂 I am tall with a big appetite and was already slim before I came here and lost 2kg in 6 weeks bare in mind I was already very in shape. So after losing weight I now need to focus on eating alot or I will get unhealthy and weak.
I'd really reccomend you learn to cook and cook a decent amount if you are A) not wanting to eat local food all the time and B) wanting to save money and be healthy whilst eating alot.
If you start having western food you can spend 300k on a meal which is too much if you want to save you cant do that regularly. I dont mind local food but cant eat all the time so am trying to find balance between spending alot and being healthy and happy with what I eat
Ideal if you are someone with a small appetite like most women or looking to lose weight.
Hi Alex! Is it possible to find an English teaching job in Ho Chi Mihn as a Russian native speaker? I have TEFL, bachelor degree in teaching and 4 years of experience teaching English in China. Currently living in Thailand 😊
You would need to take an IELTs too, but otherwise meet the government requirements. Hiring decisions are ultimately the decision of schools, but it sounds like you'd have a good shot at securing employment.
Thank you@@ninja.teacher
I arrived in Vietnam to teach 6 weeks agp from the Uk as someone fairly young (24) and who has never been to Asia before and I am in Bin Duong and my god it is wild out here haha😂 not what you see on internet but still good.
Things you dont see on TH-cam ot here
1. As a decent looking man you will be harassed haha especially if you are tall I am not bothered anymore but at first and at times it can be annoying . I had men working at shops or restaurants serving even say weird comments and women taking a step back like I was an Alien or a difrerent species haha😂 American work collegue told me many stories of sexual harassment including local women grabbing his balls. This was in a more rural area this will happen less in Saigon.
2.Drivers are crazy and its worse than what you think and could imagine- people driving on pavements to overtake and doing crazy shit , be careful.
3. Level of English is lower than imagined- much lower than in Europe so be prepared to use google translate in majority of scenarios about 80% wont speak good enough English to have basic conversation maybe this is just Bin Duong idk but is very hard to understand their accents.
4. Kids/teens will approach you as a man in an inappropriate way at times high school kids were approaching me which would never happen in west. Kid in class made inappropriate sexual comments and requests which fits wider picture I have observed.
5. Litter is very bad and streets are awful for pedestrians in certain areas.
Despite all that I live in very good accomodation for cheap , the people are hospitable and you can have very good experiences here and alot of fun.
If you have never been to Asia it is alot to adapt to.
binh duoung and bien hoa are more or less shitholes. They tell new teachers they are only recruiting there (but they are lying). The recruiters gets more money to send teachers to undesirable places.
With ILA and VUS they had to offer 10 million a month bonus for teachers to move there as theres no motive to be there over Saigon
Well i am not that old now but ..Alex i wanted to know whats the future of TEFL in Vietnam as foreigner i am just 19 now so i think its 3 year anymore to finsih my bachelor's degree so i wanted to know that will after 3 years TEFL is still worth it or it will fade off ....? please answer...
With the trajectory English center companies are growing at it’s likely the market will still be good then.
They don't want to sponsor Visa and prefer hiring Russians with bad accents with no rights to protest.
How much can pay a month in usd please cost I know my cost living there will be anywhere from 1000-2000 usd and I heard most teacher get 1-3 grand a month
Most teachers earn around 40 million and most teachers spend between 20 to 30 million a month. 10 million a month saved is a healthy expectation
Do you need have a degree in English or can you do TEFL course and start working?
You don’t need a degree in English. A degree in any subject plus a TEFL.
I heard English Language is no longer a compulsory subject for high school leavers seeking to enter the tertiary level (from 2025), how true is that? And if that's true, will that be the end of ESL teaching in Vietnam?
I believe high schoolers can now opt to pick their subjects and don’t have to take English, yes. This is just small segment of the ESL market, though, as there’s still primary and secondary as well the huge private ESL market at English centers. Also, most parents will probably still tell their children to take English for high school as it will give them far more opportunities. 🙂
@@ninja.teacher thank you Alex, for the clarification. I love your videos, keep doing what you do best.
