What made our new teachers stand out from other programs?
Ninja teachers leave the course ready to thrive in the language teaching environment in Vietnam. The course equips them with the practical knowledge and experience they need to succeed, particularly in a range of young learner classrooms. Other TEFL courses don't have such an overt focus on the unique skills and competencies needed to teach young children English, but we have found Ninja graduates more than ready for this challenge! In addition, without exception we have found Ninja teachers to have an excellent attitude and growth mindset and we are proud to have recruited many to work with us at POLY.
Is there anything else that you would like to comment on or say about our program?
I'd like to say thanks to Ninja for partnering up with POLY. From our perspective it has been wonderful working with you and we are glad to have placed some of your excellent candidates in our schools.
