Job Description
Internship details:
Can you swim? Good! Because you are about to be thrown into the deep end of your TEFL career. Let's be clear, the program provides a lot of support, from obtaining the correct visa, pre-departure assistance, proper training, and orientation (real classes, with real-students), cultural immersion workshops to make sure you know your way around Vietnam, finding long-term accommodation, setting up a local sim and bank account and support throughout your entire teaching contract. But here's the thing: you won’t be a teacher’s assistant or a coach in a language centre. At the end of the teaching practicum you will be placed in a well-paid English teaching JOB, where you will be conducting your classes. Challenge accepted!
Now we all know the saying “with great power … COMES A PRETTY DECENT SALARY”. The average teacher's salary in Vietnam is around $1,500. With the low cost of living, you will be able to pay all your usual expenses, be able to save some money, and even have a beer now and then.
We only ask one thing of you: go and inspire! Touch the hearts and minds of Vietnamese children through your English classes and build their confidence in English listening, speaking, reading, and writing - teaching about 25 hours a week.
There is a fee:
Successful applicants will be required to pay a US $860 fee, which includes the following:
- Full assistance and support will be provided to assure you acquire the correct visa, set up insurance, and have all pre-departure documents and information ready!
- Single room accommodation (with your very own bathroom) for 9 nights.
- A 9-day teaching practicum that will provide you with all the necessary training and orientation, which will include:
- Welcome party with complimentary dinner and drinks
- Cultural immersion workshop as well as employment workshop
- 6-hour observation class wherein you will be placed in a real class with real students
- 8-hour teaching practice class wherein you will conduct your classes whilst being assessed
- After which you will be assisted in landing a well-paid ESL job between days 9 and 14.
- Support throughout your employment contract (teaching contracts range from 6 – 12 months.)
