TYPES OF TEACHING JOBS IN VIETNAM

ENGLISH CENTERS AND PUBLIC SCHOOLS

The two main types of jobs that you'll find as an English teacher in Vietnam are at English centers and public schools. We have connections with both English centers and public schools so there's the possibility of working at either of these. 

English Centers: Students come to English centers to learn English after public school and on the weekends. Teachers at English centers usually work some evenings and during weekends but have plenty of time off during the week, when other teachers also have time off. Language centers run throughout the year except for the Lunar New Year holiday for a couple of weeks around January / February so you'll typically have consistent employment through the year.

Public Schools: English teachers at daytime schools and public schools usually work Monday through Friday, with classes usually scheduled sporadically throughout the school day. Daytime jobs at  at public schools typically start in August with school holidays off, though some positions (like Kindergarten jobs) may run all-year round.
