I've been teaching almost 10 years here (Ho Chi Minh city). 1- 25 hours + PREPARATION 2- the suburb (25 min by bus) of HCMC is sometimes10 times less polluted than the city center (I use Air Matters app) 3- If you have a university degree in education your salary starts at $3000/month + flight tickets etc . 4 - Native speakers - lol - Smaller language schools will hire almost anyone who speaks a decent English but at $15/hr (lot of teachers from the Philippines, Ukraine, etc). If you go outside the biggest cities it's even easier and the cost of life is lower. There is a big market for kindergartens in big cities 5- In language schools you may have a lesson at 7:30am and the next one at 10:00am and the next one at 4:00pm and the next one at 8:00pm. At language schools you'll mainly teach evenings and weekends. The best is to teach Mon to Fri 8 to 5 at big private schools (elementary schools & high schools)

The locals were also much more friendly, open and receiptive and generally had a better command of English. If I was to teach English in Vietnam, I would rather consider Hoi An to be honest.

Just to add to that bit at 14:30, what makes a huge difference, I think, is how much of the curriculum has already been designed and planned and you basically just have to follow that, and throw in your own activities on top. On the other hand, some places without much material available might have you planning more. So 10 - 60 minutes is an accurate number.

The hardest thing for the Vietnamese, is trying to learn English from all the people coming to Vietnam, to teach English, with heavy accents and broken English themselves. People from India for example, or any other person that can not use proper diction. For example: this gentleman say (you) like it is spelled eww. Not trying to down this guy, it's something to think about before you try to come and teach. Vietnamese are not dumb, they will soon learn that you are not teaching with the proper pronunciation and spread the word that you are not good. Good Luck!

The closest one to me is in New York and thats nearly a 10 hour drive from me.

I am just having trouble locating where you find in-person training for these things that isn't states away. I would greatly appreciate your help, thanks.

Couple of comments from someone who has been here for several years now. Netting anything over $20 USD is extremely rare unless you have a full teaching license from an English speaking country and even in that case you would still need to be employed by an international school. I would say even quite getting to the 20 USD is fairly rare since you will be paid in local currency and will usually either be paid at a rate that is slightly lower or you will owe taxes when working for a more legitimate outfit. You can figure about $18 USD if you are a native speaker. You will be paid only for the time you are literally talking to students. Any breaktime at a public school, a period off in between because the school is having an event, prep time at a center, making student comments, preparing tests etc will be unpaid. There may be significant travel time in your day which you will not be compensated for either, and if you are an unlicensed driver it would behoove you to have some bribe money on you. The majority of foreigners here will be barely getting by or older wealthy foreigners who have a pension and wish to supplement it. Some schools are fine with older teachers, and others aren't, that seems to be a personal taste, but you should have a good degree of energy regardless of age. Vietnam is a place to come because you like tropical weather and a different lifestyle, not to save up money. Since things come up, I would say roughly 400 USD a month is a pretty realistic figure for someone who isn't into a lot of drinking, clubbing or dating. Obviously with the coronavirus probably most teachers will have saved nothing or close to it this year, but in a normal year 5k is realistic. I wouldn't say it is easy because to get by on 1k a month probably means going without the latest fashions, western restaurants (except once in awhile) not buying the latest electronic gadgets etc. If you like to be dressed to the nines in designer wear, have a new motorbike to impress the ladies, the latest ipad and iphone, that 1500 can go quickly. If you were Vietnamese you would probably eat less, live with your parents, know cheaper sources of shoes/clothing and make that salary stretch a lot farther. As a foreigner you can save, but it really isn't the country to do it. I would suck it up in China somewhere for awhile and then go to Vietnam after some visits and you find it is to your liking.

What's the private English business like there? For example, I charge about 70USD per hour in S. Korea. Obviously way more than you'd ever make in an academy. Granted I know I charge a lot, but I've been here 20 years and have built a reputation. I don't think asking 50USD would be out of the question for someone just starting out.

You would be lucky to make have that. And then it would be dependent upon who you know.

Is working 20-30 hours a week considered a lot in Vietnam or is that just forthis particular job? I work 50-80 a week right now in my warehouse. 20-30 seems like nothing.

This guy is promoting jobs in Vietnam without the full information. It is a legal requirement to have a degree in any subject plus a teaching qualification. All of which must be legalized to be recognised... People shouldn't post inaccurate information it's dangerous

Are there online classes you could teach to supplement your funds in the weeks where you haven’t been given many hours of teaching?

Hi, thank you for the information! Is this still similar at the moment? A long term goal of mine, I.E, in 5 year is to be teaching in either Vietnam or Cambodia. I am at uni and have 2 years left of a primary teaching degree, I want to then teach for 2-3 years in Australia first as to have a solid base to come back to if I end up not loving as much as I think I will. I have travelled to aboriginal and Vietnam before and absolutely loved it, but always need a back up plan. How much could I expect to earn with an Australian teach degree and teaching experience?

Sounds like a good plan. The market is in flux at the moment so we will see how rates stabilize but they should still be in this range hopefully.

Would it be possible to teach English part time if one were to retire there? Thinking of ways to supplement a pension although from what you said it would be adequate anyway

Hello, Ross! I am from The Philippines. I had been teaching for almost 10 years and aside from that we do speak English here a lot everyday of our lives. Being in Manila and other key cities such as Cebu and Angeles would always make you speak of the language. Sorry for the lengthy statement. Thank you for replying to my question..
@phamuyen205 жыл бұрын
so many center and school accept Filipino. You don't need worry. I had 2 months study in Cebu. I hope you can go to Vietnam and teach English for more people in my country.

Surely it makes a difference whether you have a degree or no degree on where you work and how much you get paid? Besides your TEFL certificate of course.

Hey Alex, sorry if you had mentioned this in the Video and i might have missed it, but do you need a Degree to be able to teach? Also hows the market for other languages like German? I grew up in Germany. Oh and how are Vietnamese`s attitute torwards viet kieus like me? Do you happen to know how they are treated as teachers? Ive watched Videos of Korean Americans going to Korea to teach and they had racist experiences. Personally the last time I was there, I had the Impression they think im rich just because I live abroad. Also that one employee at the Airport kept talkng to me in english although i talked english to her. so im a little concerned. thanks in advance
