Hello Saigon... :) I just got my 6 months visa (yeha!) and will be in Saigon at least for 3 months. I would like to find a job to finance my stay. Best would be a teaching Job. :) Does anyone know where to look for one or where to get information?
Let me tell you a little bit about me. My name is Samuel and I'm 27 years old. Unfortunately English is not my mother tongue... I'm from Germany, but I study to become an English, maths and science teacher. I'm in my last year of coursework and did quite a few internships... in Germany, the States and New Zealand. I also lived for one year in the States and just came back from a semester abroad in New Zealand. So I believe my English is quite good and I'm prepared to teach. The other option would be to teach German but I think I'm better in teaching English. :)
If you have any information about teaching please let me know! If you have information about a different job, let me know too. :) I'm not very picky.
hi Samuel!!! Welcome to Vietnam.I believe that u have a good trip,good memories when u stay in VN.^^ I see that u want to get a job to support for ur finance,right? So,althought i don't know exacly what the job for u, i recommend that u should go to the "language center" to find a help,i mean that there are a teaching job a lot which ur needs,u know what i mean....And addition,"the private teacher" maybe suitable for u,Do u think so? :) I just help u a litlle ^^ hope u 'll find job as soon as possible...
Most of the school only employs native speakers, even in some big English centre like ILA or VUS, teaching certificates like TESOL are required. However I think, if your English is really good, there are still changes for you to find job in small school.
And about teaching German, Goethe Institue is the best place that you can apply for a teacher possition. This is the website of this, it is even written in German :P http://www.goethe.de/ins/vn/han/deindex.htm?wt_sc=hanoi
I live in District 1. I teach English to 3 teenagers at New Star in Tan Phu District and I teach English at many kindergarten schools in many districts in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam through the Tan Van Foreign Language school.
I do not have a TEFL or TESOL or college degrees or college diplomas but I still work at schools in Saigon, I will be trying to get a real TESOL or other like teaching degrees or certificates as soon as I can.
I was born and raised in the USA. I am a native English speaker.
It would be better if u have degree. Some famous language centers such as VUS, Apollo, AMA provide high salary, supports as well as good experiences for teaching job. Im not sure about smaller language center but you can try to check out those above. Good luck :)
Lots of smaller language schools all over the city, you just gotta drive around. As for me, it was a bit of challenging -eventho im a qualified teacher, most schools said they cant hire me because I'm asian - most of the parents prefer their kids to be taught by a white person (probably even if they are not qualified) anyway, I got a job after about 2 - 3 weeks driving around the city. The fact that you're white (foreign looking) is a big plus.
hihihi Joey dont be so serious to adjust this word from @Samuel Schoepe, otherwise that word "Sence" doesn't exist heheh =))... English is not our mother tongue, so sometimes get mistakes always happen normally. You can try to guide us as well by your mother tongue instead, Be friendly to make good friends ya ^^ PEACE
this is some information for you in case that you still want to check out: www.vietnamworks.com ( choose Tranining or Educaton funtion). Many English teacher jobs here above. Good luck and enjoy your time. If you need some one to walk around, do not hesitate to contact me.
The word "SENCE" is a word in the Turkish language that means "Do you think." And in Vietnamese, Sence means "bạn có nghĩ rằng." That is what Google Translate says. http://Translate.google.com.
I just misspelled a word. If a native English speaker can get the word "jewelry" AKA "jewellery" spelled wrong and totally incorrect then to non-native English speakers, I will tell you that even I make mistakes.
But looking on the bright side of things, it seems that "Jewerly" is not a word yet. That means one of us could make up the meaning and get this new word a bright future.
Hi Samuel, you seem cool and your English is fine for teaching. We should hangout! I might have something for you. Hit me up 01207904050. Cheers, Austin
"but I -am studying- to become an English, maths and science teacher" ;)
I'm moving here for a month or two also - I might know somewhere in the centre with a room (same place I just moved into) - $360/month - let me know if you're interested...
Hey Nick, thanks for the feedback. I thought though I don't need continuous tense since I'm not really studying at the moment. It's just more like my "general occupation".
Thanks for the information about the room. I already found one though and $360 is a bit over my budget since I don't have a job yet.
I just got my 6 months visa (yeha!) and will be in Saigon at least for 3 months.
