Teaching in Vietnam is a highly rewarding experience. Teachers in Vietnam are treated with the utmost respect by both students and parents. Students are enthusiastic, keen to learn, and relish the opportunity to take advantage of a fun, creative, and professional learning environment. Both adults and children are willing and cooperative participants in class, eager to make the most of their learning experience.
ILA provides teachers with a highly competitive financial and benefits package.
Volunteering
Beyond teaching, you will be able to make a difference in the Vietnamese community by being involved with ILA’s charitable wing, the ILA Community Network [ILACN].
Currently, ILACN is involved with three local organisations: Green Bamboo Shelter, Go Vap Orphanage, HCMC Ung Buou Cancer Hospital
