I remember this guy when he started out in South Korea. YT algorithm sent me here. WOW this guy looks so much older now! Mind you much time has passed so no wonder he looks at least a decade or so older from SK days. time flies.
Good Black dont crack babes
Thanks. Option 3 with the formal in class training sounds like a good option.
Thanks.👍
I have a question about non-native speakers who has the TOFEL qualifications but do not fulfill the requirements to apply to your TEFL program, is there any other possibility or perhaps different conditions might of apply
Thank you for the information on English teaching jobs. I would like to know what are the age limits if there are any?
I am 57 now and am considering a move to Vietnam. I have a BS in exercise kinesiology and a master's degree in school counseling and also teach a middle school health class with about 15 years of teaching/ counseling experience. Is that seen as a plus compared to other applicants even if it isn't teaching English? Is 60y.o. a mandatory retirement age in Vietnam or simply when you are eligible? Also, can this lead to permanent residency if I am interested in retirement there? Thanks for the videos!
Hi Alex, I have a degree in medical science, dental surgery but no teaching experience or any certification regarding English teaching and I am from India...what do you think are my chances to get these teaching jobs in Asian countries??
Please tell!
How well would your in person program correlate to getting a job in Thailand?
Hello sir, if i come with the evisa how to change my visa to working visa?
I m from morocco and I have a canadian passeport, do I need TEFL or TESOL or other certififcat please ? Thank you
I know ppl that teach at private schools. Citizens from the UK or the USA with no tefl or no degrees that get paid off the books making 3000 usd per month ok Border runs every month tho.😊😊
Are you serious. So teaching in Vietnam is still pretty good?
I knew someone in China who was teaching under the table without a work visa. Eventually he was caught, arrested, fined, deported, and banned from returning to China. The school was also fined and put under scrutiny.
@@bradycunningham1267 yeah 👍
Option 3 does sound the best. Can you provide any reasons why someone should take your in-person TEFL course instead of an in-person CELTA?
Considering they cost a similar amount, both are offered in Ho Chi Minh City, and both take four weeks each?
I’m trying to choose between the two right now. Do companies much prefer one over the other? Does one command a higher salary? Or is that all overblown?
The CELTA is very Eurocentric, has not been updated for many years, focuses on adult teaching (despite some claiming otherwise) and the teaching practicum is with adult learners. Our course is contextually relevant to the market in Asia, regularly updated, has a large focus on teaching young learners (which is 90% of the market in Vietnam) and the teaching practicum includes classes with young learners as well as adults in real schools in Vietnam.
We also provide additional pre-departure and in-country support when moving to Vietnam, such as in-country orientation, events etc which the CELTA doesn't.
We have a good reputation with the top schools in Vietnam and our graduates get job offers from these schools. I won't make any claims about which is preferred which we can't substantiate, but in my experience first-time teachers will be offered similar salaries coming off our course as a CELTA, so I'd make your decision based on which one you believe suits your goals better. Hope that helps!
@@ninja.teacher helps a ton thanks for the response 🙏
Please I would like to join ur class and get more confident as it's going to be my first time teaching and will need some guide how do I meet you am in Vietnam Hanoi close to the airport sir
Is going through tefl academy level 5 a good option ?
I was going to teach English in Cambodia because a degree is not required. I have a college diploma for Sound and Music Production but I’m assuming that wouldn’t work the same as a bachelor’s degree
I do not have a degree but I speak English, I am an American
Hi there Alex :), do you guys have any programs for someone who already has a TEFL but no teaching experience? Im trying to gain some online teaching experience but finding it quite difficult to get any jobs.
We offer discounted rates for those who have taken an online TEFL to upgrade to our in-person training with job placement in Vietnam. We don't offer any programs for assisting people with securing online teaching work though - that market is a quite saturated.
One thing I still don't understand is method 2. I've often heard this is the best method, but I have no idea how it works logistically. Does one apply for jobs online before flying to Vietnam? And then just linger in VN until they hear back from a company who wants to set up an interview? Because if I fly there now and plan a 3-4 week itinerary, how can I be sure I am in the right city at the right time for the different jobs I applied for online? It's not like they will reply within 1 or 2 days of submitting the application, right?
Also, do you think you will bring back the TEFL fast track course? I've had my online TEFL for a few months but have been stuck trying to figure out the logistics of the trip/job application/document notarization/apostillization process, etc. Thanks!
You'd fly to Vietnam then send out your resume once you're here, then set up in-person interviews once schools get back to you. Schools usually do reply within a few days if you're in-country, ready to start and they have openings. It's best to focus one city like HCMC / Hanoi with this route.
We aren't running our fast track anymore for the time being, as it was difficult to pack all the training into a 2 week program, and it's harder to guarantee results for people who took online TEFLs with varying degrees of quality. That's why we're now offering a discounted rate for anyone who's taken an online TEFL to upgrade to our 4 week Vietnam TEFL Program so that we can help with all the documents, in-country orientation, classroom training, teaching practicum and guaranteed job placement.
Without a degree how can I teach English in Vietnam, I heard it can be done, I forgot where
Can I get a job with experience but No degree?
I’m currently in Bangkok and my contract ends in march so I plan on flying out there. I hear it’s better to apply while in the country vs outside
Hi. Have you made it to Vietnam and did you manage to get a job faster? I’m also considering going but I’ve also heard it’s been difficult landing a decent job lately
Hello Sir, I am Lesotho citizen currently living in India I have been looking for a a teaching job for a while. I was not very successful could you suggest me an agency company which can help apply for a teaching job in Vietnam.
I have a degree in geography marketing management airlines and hospitality.
Kindly assist me sir
Hi Alex, do you guys offer an equivalent to AVSE's Teaching Jobs Abroad Programme? I already have a 120 hour TEFL.
We offer a discounted rate on our Vietnam TEFL Program for those who have already completed a TEFL. It involves pre-departure guidance, in-country orientation, in-class training, teaching practicum and guaranteed job placement. We used to offer a stripped down job placement program but it wasn’t viable - we need the whole month to get people job ready so that we can guarantee a teaching job. Feel free to get in touch and have a chat with a member of our team to learn more about it: ninjateacher.com
@@ninja.teacher Same exact level of service just at a discounted rate? Which TEFL courses qualify?
Is it difficult to find jobs teaching older teenagers or adults? I don’t think I could go back to teaching kids 😅.
The vast majority of work in Vietnam is with young learners so it can be challenging to secure full time employment with adults.
@@ninja.teacher thanks for the info!
How to get better salaries? Does Vietnam require notarization and authentication for degrees like china does?
Yes on notarization and verification. And I am in the middle of this process now. I was teaching in China previously and just accepted a position in Vietnam and I start next month. Process is very similar, Vietnam is a bit less... extreme than China in the verification. Probably because they don't assume all foreigners entering the country are dangerous spies.
You can increase your salary with more experience. You need authenticated copies of your degree, TEFL and police check for a work permit application.
@@fs5775 China worried westerns are "Dangerous spies", now thats ironic ha ha
@@fs5775 nice reply. what is easier? I'm thinking my degree and tesol are already notarized and authenticated by my home country plus the chinese authentication. do i just need to go to the vietnam embassy to get their authentication on the same docs?
what kind of school did you get and how is the salary compared to the average? I would like to continue being a homeroom teacher. I was in kindergarten. I would add in masters in teaching and teach primary if it is worth it.
@@spaniardxxxiii2801 I'm teaching university and my employer has an agent who's taking care of notarization & authentication so I don't know too many of the details, sorry. I just know the process has been much quicker and easier for Vietnam and I even had an agent with China too. Each country needs to do their own process of authentication & verification. But the process for both countries is similar. They don't care my docs have been verified by China. They want them verified by Vietnam now (degree certificate, previous employment letter, police check, medical test, passport pages)
Hey! i’m viet kiểu with a native american accent. i don’t have a degree however, i’m 30, and can speak viet fairly fluently.
what’re my chances of a job with the in person method?
You can get a 5 year visa exemption but are still required to get a work permit (which requires a degree) to work legally and so most schools still require a degree to hire foreign teachers.
Hi...i am an Indian...have taught english [grammar and accent], for less than two years. Currently, working as a senior manager in a nationalised bank.
However, wish to relocate to vietnam.
A little guidance would be really appreciated.
Is there an age limit for a individual considering this career path?
The retirement age in Vietnam is 60 for men and 55 for women so typically you need to be below that age to get a work permit to work legally in Vietnam.
Do they ever want 3 month or shorter term contracts? I taught executives at Samsung, LG, Lee International etc but I really just wanna see Saigon for a few months then see the rest of the country.
It’s uncommon, as it takes time to onboard and bring new teachers up to speed so they offer longer term contracts.
