"I cannot recommend it more because it helped me with literally everything. It teaches you how to be a teacher really even if you've never done it before. All that nervous energy of being in the classroom with foreign students was just completely swept away after doing this course. I met some great friends and all the staff have been so helpful... If you want to be an EFL teacher in Vietnam I think Ninja Teacher is the best way to start!"

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.
