Teaching

Teaching in Vietnam is a highly rewarding experience. Teachers in Vietnam are treated with the utmost respect by both students and parents. Students are enthusiastic, keen to learn, and relish the opportunity to take advantage of a fun, creative, and professional learning environment. Both adults and children are willing and cooperative participants in class, eager to make the most of their learning experience.
ILA provides teachers with a highly competitive financial and benefits package which will ensure that you have money to enjoy the lifestyle, travel and even save!

You will be given the opportunity to volunteer in a variety of settings and locations. Currently, the ILACN is involved with five local organisations: the Green Bamboo Shelter, Go Vap Orphanage, HCMC Ung Buou Cancer Hospital, the Little Rose Warm Shelter and Operation Smile Vietnam.

Vietnam

Vietnam is an amazing country to choose for travelling, living, and experiencing another culture. We are offering placements in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC), which has an extensive expatriate community, is colourful, and has busy markets set alongside beautiful colonial buildings. Cheap, delicious local food is on every corner, while the extensive array of shopping plazas, cinemas, restaurants, and bars is truly amazing.

Furthermore, travel throughout Vietnam is cheap and easy from HCMC. Vietnam has an extensive coastline which means the beach is never far away and opportunities for diving, surfing and other beach activities are extensive. Vietnam is also home to two World heritage sights, as well as the central highlands which are famous for a cool mountainous climate, numerous minority groups, and spectacular waterfalls.
