Look forward to the next video. I LOVE watching your video. I found it very interesting and I learned a lot about how to become an English teacher in Viet Nam. Watching your videos brings back my childhood memories. Not only about Ninja English teachers (all young cool teachers I love seeing them in your video), but also about traveling and food. Thank you for posting.

This video is perfect! Thank you!! I have been teaching in Vietnam for 6 years. I've seen a lot of foreigners come and go, many times quickly. I would also add that you need to understand that the work culture is different. So, try to overcommunicate your needs so that people understand. Being open-minded is the most important when dealing with a sometimes opposite culture. I will share this video with my school. Maybe it will help them and the future foreign teachers. Cheers!

From VNExpress: "Foreign teachers in Vietnam are facing increasingly tough times as salaries drop and competition intensifies, challenging their ability to sustain their livelihoods and prompting many to reconsider their futures.Amy, who has been teaching English in Ho Chi Minh City for nearly two years, is preparing to return to the U.S. due to steadily decreasing salaries for foreign teachers like her. The 30-year-old lamented arriving in Vietnam at what she considers the wrong time, noting that the heyday for "Western teachers" in Vietnam has passed and competition has driven down wages."

Alex, thanks for making this video. At least you care about the existence of your English teaching center in Vietnam. Good news: dedicated and professional people like you, or professors teaching subjects in English at universities in Vietnam, will have a long-lasting presence there. Bad news: those who come to Vietnam to teach English just because of the low cost of living, with a bad attitude and unprofessional behavior, won't last in Vietnam. According to some recent news articles in Vietnam, people believe that in the future, Vietnamese students will use AI, like ChatGPT, to learn English, including pronunciation practice. They think using AI to learn English will be cheaper and more accessible, especially for low-income families who can't afford to send their kids to English centers. If Vietnam adopts AI-based English learning, those 'wanderers' you mentioned in your video won't have the chance to come to Vietnam to teach English.

You are always great to listen to Alex I have been convinced for a long time to give this TEFL path a shot. I go to school in Arizona at UofA, I would want to relocate and teach close to the water, Da nang is the place to be from my understanding but as you said below nearly impossible to get a job there. Do you deal with a lot of south west / desert environment expats with your programs? I havent met many people out here to do more than visit SEA let alone live in Vietnam. I feel like as a Tucson resident somewhere like Saigon would be incredibly daunting.

Is the job market still viable in 2024? I keep seeing more and more about how TEFL in Vietnam is stagnating, and the job market is oversaturated. Is this true or is it still possible to get hired right now in VN?
@ninja.teacher
@ninja.teacher 17 күн бұрын
Yes, it’s definitely still possible to get hired in 2024. We are able to help all our 4 week in-class TEFL course participants secure work after graduation each month. There is always a turnover of teachers in Vietnam (as the majority of foreign teachers do not stay in Vietnam forever) so jobs regularly become available. Bear in mind that our program contains a lot of teaching practicum and we have a good reputable with employers in Vietnam because of the quality of our training. If you only have an online TEFL with no teaching practicum, and no experience teaching, it could be more challenging to secure employment as schools select the most qualified teachers from their options. I’d say the market is about the same as it was pre-covid. I think people who are saying it’s not good right now are probably comparing it to how it was right after COVID where schools were more desperate for teachers, so naturally it’s not the same as that now that things have returned to normal.

Alex, I traveled around Vietnam in 2006 for 3 months. I fell in love instantly. I was wondering if it will be a problem to stay for one year renewing my 90 day tourist visa. I know I’ll have to leave the country every time and I’m prepared for that. Not having finished my Bachelor’s degree I assume I’m not eligible to teach.

There's no official policy about how many times you can exit and re-enter on a tourist visa as far as I'm aware, so can't say for sure how many times you can do it.

Hello. Could I find a job in Da Nang City? It's easy to find an English teacher job there? I graduated with an M.A. in English (Applied Linguistics) from Thailand University last year and already got my TESOL certificate. But my speaking is not good. So I am confused to find a job in Vietnam or Thailand now. I'm 32 years old from China. I want to hear some advice from you. Appreciate it.

Da Nang is the most competitive city in Vietnam to secure teaching jobs in as it’s a tourist city and has only a handful of English centers that are rarely hiring. Even the most experienced and qualified teachers typically struggle to secure work there.

@@ninja.teacher Alex that's not true. You have overpromoted teaching in VN so there are now way too many teachers. As a result, salaries are collapsing to the point that many foreign teachers are leaving VN because they cannot afford to live there on teaching wages.

Living/teaching in Vietnam is a push and pull kind of thing. Job satisfaction is the pull. Vietnam has plenty of push: Corruption, congestion, traffic, noise, street filth, pollution, graffiti, destroying old beautiful things French, xenophobia, overcrowding and the list goes on and on. Turd world which desperately needs more Ninja Teachers given the poor English speaking ability in VN.
