Ninja Teaching Company creating so many great English teachers in Viet Nam and around South East Asia. Vietnamese parents work hard to send 1 kid to an English school to learn to speak well in English and they start at a very young age, like 5, or 6 years old. Every job in Viet Nam requires you to speak English. Without English, you cannot find a job, period. I'm so glad there is a company like Ninja English company that provides good training to teachers who want to teach English in Viet Nam, or any country in Asia. This company has been around for a long time now. I love to watch videos of the classroom. Please show more.

She’s gorgeous and seems really fun and sweet her fiancé is a lucky guy. I miss Vietnam and need to just sell everything and move.

Great to hear from such a devoted teacher that spends so much spare time planning and preparing how much better she can perform in in classes. It must be so satisfying for you to create such compassion in your students to make the kids lives better…….🤣

@Annima1016 21 күн бұрын

It really is satisfying! My teacher trainer even came to class with me to observe me. I need her feedback to build up my confidence and to tell me where I needed to grow as a teacher. The classroom management tips really improved my experience as a teacher and for the kiddos too!

I am set to join the ninja teacher program next year and was feeling nervous because I also have insecurities with whether I am able to teach English to students but watching this interview with Annie really helped me gain confidence and feel better :)

@Annima1016 Ай бұрын

ME TOO! I had the same fears. I was scared that my english wasn't good enough. but it turns so that I needed to work on my confidence. You can do it, sis. We have a huge community to support you.

Want my advice, don't waste $1500 on a course to obtain a TEFL certificate that you could get so much cheaper online. I went through Ninja teacher some years ago, what I know now to what I knew then, I would have not paid the fee.

@Annima1016 21 күн бұрын

@@KJ-xc7ni I felt the same way, that's why I waited 6 months to do it. But what I got from it was a community of life long friends and connects that helped me throughout the years i've been living in Vietnam. If you can do it without connections, that's fine. But I would do it all again to gain the confidence in teaching and have the support that I received.

@ptiaptia7347 12 күн бұрын

@KJ-xc/in, I think it is much better to go with professional hands-on training courses, like Ninja Teacher Company, than online classes.

@christheconqueor Ай бұрын

I was surprised that she wanted to stay in Vietnam long term lol. A lot of the people you interviewed tends to use Vietnam as a stop gap to their next destination. Quite disappointed because we need people to invest in this country as it continues to grow. Glad to hear that Annie is willing to do that. Love it!

My daughter is set to be a teacher in SF, CA @ an under privileged area where education equality is a need but I can say after watching this option it is IMHO a terrific start for young people, those who don’t have a teaching degree and to discover a tested method, community of supportive teachers, developing your creativity in a new and beautiful environment without worrying that you can’t afford the rent or eat good food. I’d guess many will eventually move back to the USA but quality of life in Vietnam and other countries can be extremely affordable! ✌️

@Annima1016 21 күн бұрын

Yeah! I'm going to networking events to get better connected to the communities in Ho Chi Minh City. There's so much love for this country and community. I love it here.

My daughter is set to be a teacher in SF, CA @ an under privileged area where education equality is a need but I can say after watching this option it is IMHO a terrific start for young folks, those who want to do meaningful work, don’t have a teaching degree yet while discovering new skills and abilities using a tested method in the community of supportive peer teachers, developing your creativity in a new and beautiful environment without worrying that you can’t afford the rent or afford to go out and eat good food. I’d guess many will eventually move back to the to their Western countries but the quality of life in Vietnam and other countries can be extremely attractive and affordable! Doing something different than the norm challenges you to find and be yourself without the expectations of your home country!

What's going on with the current and near future english teaching job market in Vietnam? I've heard English will no longer be required for public schools.

@christheconqueor Ай бұрын

English is and will always be in demand, especially in Vietnam. They are not going to learn Mandarin or any other languages. English is universal and children's parent will want them to learn it so they can be successful in their future. Is the English teaching jobs saturated in Vietnam? Yes. But as long as there is a demand, English teaching jobs will always be there.

@leigh7507 Ай бұрын

Its not mandatory for older grades but luckily its still needed for grades 1 to 5, which is where the most work is. Also, most ESL teachers are just centre workers not public school teachers

@ninja.teacher Ай бұрын

There was a somewhat misleading news article about this (as happens very often). It was just a change that means some high school students can take a different subject in some circumstances, but the reality is the vast majority of students in public schools will continue studying English throughout their 12 years of school.

Tiếng Anh luôn là môn học ngoại ngữ quan trọng ở Việt Nam. Một số trường cấp 2 và cấp 3 cho phép học sinh lựa chọn Tiếng Pháp, Nga và một số ngôn ngữ khác, nhưng lượng học sinh rất nhỏ. Vì vậy đừng lo lắng không thể xin được việc.
