Best decision I ever made

Lauren Moten - United States

I'm so glad I decided to go to Vietnam through ninja teacher. Not only was the course very professional, I certainly developed as a person and teacher. Ninja teacher helped me from the moment I thought about coming all the way through getting hired at a language center and everything in between. If I could do over I would do the exact same thing again.

I wouldn’t want to have done it any other way!

Signing up to the TEFL course at Ninja Teacher Academy was one of the best decisions I’ve made.

When I moved to Vietnam in November, I was feeling a whole lot of emotions. Ninja Teacher provided a caring, informative and crucial support network that I didn’t know I’d need.

The 4 weeks of training was thorough yet extremely enjoyable, thanks to the experienced team and trainers. We were able to gain invaluable in-class experience with students ranging from kindergarten to adults, which made my job much less daunting when I started working.

Aside from the course, the support network outside of the classroom went above and beyond. We were provided with amazing advice and video calls with the team before flying to Vietnam and even when the course finished, we were supported throughout the entire job searching process.

When moving countries, it is reassuring and comforting to know that there is a network of people who are always happy to help you. The course was also a wonderful way to make friends and form a home away from home.

Thank you to the Ninja Teacher Team!!!

It was very fun and prepared me for teaching!

5/5Yes, I recommend this program

It was a great month the course was a perfect balance of fun and learning. Sadie taught by example and highlighted too many of us the level to aspire to achieve in teaching. This high level of teaching training combined with Chi’s insane networking skills ensured that getting a job after the course was a breeze. I’m very thankful for ninja teacher as it not only improved my teaching ability but also helped me form a close social group in Saigon. To anyone considering doing it I would encourage you to definitely give it a go!

Complete support to start a new career in a new country

My experience with Ninja Teacher was incredible. With their YouTube videos and direct support from staff I felt fully prepared coming to Vietnan to begin this course. The course was fantastic and extremely informative. As a person without a teaching background I am fully prepared to teach English in any scenario and begin a teaching job with one of the best centers in Ho Chi Minh next week. Ninja Teacher support and community helped me through the entire process beginning to end. Visa guidance, job search, apartment information, general tips. Without them, my life and career transition would not have been so smooth. I would highly recommend any travel lovers or future teachers to utilise Ninja Teacher.

I couldn’t recommend ninja teacher more, they made everything so smooth and stress free! The onboarding team replied to my emails at all hours answering any questions I had about making the move. The teacher trainers couldn’t have prepared me more for teaching in Vietnam and I was given so much support with the job process I secured a job within 1 week of graduating.

The ninja teacher course is a great choice if you want to be prepared to teach english and get settled in Vietnam. The course itself is taught by amazing and inspiring teachers. They teach us how to teach english in fun thought provoking ways that bring the class together. After the course the job team led by the AMAZING Chi guide you smoothly from the course to a job. They even give plenty support after the course and guide you through things like setting up bank accounts.

With ease

Moving to a new country for the first time and intending to get a job in a field you have no experience in, is daunting for anyone.

With Ninja Teacher, everything simply fell into place! They provided everything necessary to become a teacher, and shared their insight and network with me and my classmates. Coupled with seasoned teaching staff, Ninja was formidable in getting me my first job just 1 day after graduating!

5/5Yes, I recommend this program

An amazing course, well worth the investment. Sadie is a fabulous teacher with a wealth of experience. The pre and post course support from Miranda and Chi is second to none.

I had two interviews the day after the course ended and have just accepted a full time position.

Can’t thank Ninja enough!

I have made some great friendships through the course and know that Ninja will be there should I have any unanswered questions or need support.

The food in Vietnam is an added bonus. If you are considering travelling to Vietnam, you won’t regret it.
